This World Cup is great

[loterry1994]

Apart from the a few rains outs and duckworth Lewis drama. This World Cup has produced some really good matches and upsets. As well as having great ends to decide the semi finalists. The wickets have been good also and has a lot in it for the bowlers and there has been great contests and not many games have gone beyond 180 run mark

Don't we say this pretty much every world cup? Or at least 3/4th of them?

Anyhow India, Pakistan and SA have been pathetic.

Tbf Australia looked subpar too in the other group. The 2 teams that qualified from group 1 look stronger but SL and Australia were pretty underwhelming competition. I don't think the groups were particularly lopsided unlike last year. All the big dogs had their problems.

That's got to be the greatest choke from South Africa yet. Unbelievable. They managed to capitalize but Australia were very lucky last year, were always going to get some reversion this year. Not a good enough T20 team to win it back to back. Lucky Pakistan sneak through after losing to Zim...

Disappointing crowds and a lot of rain but good World Cup so far other than that

Aus public it seems is still not willing to treat T 20 world as one of the pinnacle of the sport.

Crowds have been quite poor apart from. India games

Yep, the "crowds" has been the main downside.

It is nice to have a t20 event where the toss is not so important and plenty of teams are content to bat first. That was a huge issue with the last world cup.

It's worked out okay, but the weather made the early part a bit of a farce.

 

[GIMH]

Australia terrible hosts both from a weather and team perspective. Thankfully England have been on hand to make the tournament worth watching.

Couple of tickets to a game probably costs more than a month’s pay tv subscription which allows you to watch every game from your couch

why aren't tickets priced lesser then? surely it is better to recoup some money from it rather than let them go to waste?

 

[Burgey]

Yeah you can't even use your Members tix to get into a ground for a game and have to buy them like the great unwashed. And they're not cheap. I wasn't going to shell out $180 per ticket for a seat at a ground I'm a member of when I can watch the game at home. Not because I couldn't but I think it's bullshit you pay a couple of grand a year to be a member and then have to shell out on top. **** that.

**** the ICC

**** England.

So I presume all neutrals basically have a preference for who wins from here which accord with my own:

Pakistan > India = NZ >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>England.

 

[Jay London]

I think its been brilliant so far. Loving the way teams have to adapt to larger boundaries and especially to not really knowing how the pitch is going to play and having to change bowling plans throughout the tournament.

I like IPL and like the fact that the Australian conditions allow for a different type of game to IPL.

We'll believe it if Eng loses another final in MCG to Pakistan ?

Just wondering how many people you're expecting to front up to a SA v Netherlands game for example were it being held in any other neutral country? Aus and England are really the only cricket playing nations where there's anything like reasonably sized expat communities from other countries involved in the tourney.

 

[DriveClub]

I think Australia missed a trick by not having some bbl veteran batsmen in the team who are used to playing t20 in australia. Ben Mcdermott could’ve been a good selection

Well it's not.
