Ganguly said repeatedly that captaincy doesn't interest him anymore and that he has no problem with Dravid as captain so it's crap.

no over 400,000 showed up upto the end of super 8s. than more for the semis and the packed final.

it wasn't all that easy, Sri Lanka actually gave a fight unlike India and Pakistan in the previous world cups. But have any one noticed- '99 Australia beat Pakistan '03 Australia beat India '07 Australia beat Sri Lanka that's 12 years Australia has defeated a south asian team. Well this...

no because, more than 570,000 tickets had been sold anyway which is close to the 600,000 from the last wc.

I agree. not yet, http://content-usa.cricinfo.com/india/content/story/293035.html

where did you find those pics?

well, I don't agree that it should have stopped or been paused after the tragic. The show must go on. And Bob Woolmer would probably want it to go on too. Lots of things went wrong but that one, you can't blame the icc for.

best memories: Ireland and Bangladesh causing all the upsets. worst memories:Australia thrashing all the other teams and death of bob woolmer.

yeah it's like 2 days longer or something from the last wc because of easter but in game days its shorter.

No...it has 3 less games than last time.

http://www.theaustralian.news.com.au/story/0,20867,21621342-5001505,00.html I think that be the best thing. Although they could shave it even more. http://www.cricketworld.com/world_cup_2007/article/?aid=11055 Weird huh? Well, it did sell more than 570,000 tickets up to the semis...

no, West Indies had like 19 days between their games etc. If you want to cover all of this including reserve days, tourists needs, players needs, admins needs, etc then it just too much an it has to be long. The icc needs to have a healthy amount of games for it's contracts with espn which is...

Well that's because the icc wants all the test nations to get a chance to hold it. But Countries like sri lanka and bangladesh and new zealand couldn't hold a very successful one alone. Well, no that's not a format issue. It was an organizing issue because they could have had the same format...

how about you start by just not even coming to this forum... :mad:

I agree. I like knockouts a lot more than league games but people complain about the knockouts too saying it doesn't give the big teams enough chances or something. That's the reason i think the changed the icc knockout to CT. I would like to have knockouts but i guess knockouts wouldn't give...

What are you talking about? I never bashed India and i really don't have any interest in pakistani cricket. India is favorite team out of the top 8. I have to admit though that i have lost some interest after sachin lost his invisible tag but still my favorite players. But I have always...

yeah, actually there was. When it 1st came out everyone criticizied it and now people wanting to go back to it? 1st super 6 format would have had more games with the "minnows". What happened with the super 6 was that a associate/"minnow" team could go to the semifinals without really being the...

no, it's looks like it's seriously difficult for you to digest the truth that india and pakistan weren't good enough to beat bangladesh and ireland. The only thing that was made worse by the entry of these teams were the attendance and may be viewership. But it also made a big way for Ireland to...

and what more could they do than expect the top 8 to qualify? they can't win the games for them... and they can't exclude australia from the cup because no one can provide enough competition against them. So i don't see how you're blaming the icc there either. It was up to the teams for putting...
