The disappointment of the 2019 Cricket World Cup being a 10 team World Cup

I actually don't mind that format. They tried that out in the Australian List-A comp a few years ago and I found myself enjoying it. Adds a fresh dynamic to the game.

Although it should be two 25-over innings each.

I think he means literally 2 innings though, where you start from scratch each time. The Australian comp that tried it just split the 1 innings.

Ah ok. I don't like that as much, it'd devalue wickets too much.

Aussies are going to this wc as minnows

Don't make such statements. Aussies always find a way to win world cups. It's annoying as hell.

Just ask Herschelle Gibbs, or Allan Donald

More like Mike Gatting.

Aus were a good odi team in 1999.

They're pretty ordinary if not "dire" these days.

The real disappointment for most of you will be next year when Australia wins it again.

How about changing 1 50-over innings game to 2 20-over innings game?

Don't like that at all.

Best to ignore Loko, he once suggested cricket should be played with rubber balls.

Hey, that way maybe cricket would be more popular among kids since it would be less dangerous and more parents would allow them to play it...:

 

[Daemon]

Yeah I don't think "it's too dangerous!" is whats keeping the kids away

 

[trundler]

No it's because cricket is too high-fi for their pea-brains.

 

[turnstyle]

8.

India play Sri Lanka 5 times home and away then straight to the quarters - no ****ing about.

 

[kingkallis]

Whats the meaning of calling it 'world cup' if you are eliminating even the test playing nation?

 

[sledger]

Yeah, part of the appeal (and a big part of it at that), is getting the chance to see teams that you don't constantly see on the test/ODI circuits. Doubt I will take much interest.

You will

 

[sledger]

Yeah, because I am so interested in cricket ordinarily after all.
