It's amazing after one shock win, Ireland managed to play in the super 8's. The system is flawed and is going on forever. It's worth putting on the Ashes DVD to watch some good test cricket.

Will this thing never end?

Actually doing more damage to the image of the game IMO, ICC should be ashamed of their greed and the way this tournament has been run.

Hearing the spin Speed put on the WC last week was nausiating. Worst WC in history. Period.

the schedule is extremely long. Australia went 8 days without a game!! I don't see why they couldn't play two games at a time during this Super 8's like they did in the early rounds. Cut the whole thing down. It is dragging out I agree and not particularly a great endorsement of the game. I feel sorry for the players too waiting around between matches so long can be detrimental to your form and concentration

But they won't be and unfortunately this means the next WC will no doubt be another tedious, long winded affair, especially on the subcontinent.

I couldn't believe the West Indies played 1 game in something like 16 days.

Just far too many games, and too long between each one.

Still another 2 weeks until the semi finals when we already know who the semi finalists will be.

Yep.

Lets get on with the Semis already. We all know who is going to be in them... barring a miracle.

The conditions at the Sir Vivian Richards Stadium in Antigua also annoyed Matthew Hayden, who was unable to use a bowling machine because there was no electricity.

Complete and UTTER joke. Hope you're enjoying your money ICC.

That's what I was thinking. We would be at the Semis right now.

 

[spell_check]

The semis will be Australia v South Africa and New Zealand v Sri Lanka

Who told you this?

Well they played about 3 games in 5 days before that

I disagree, I hated it when there were 2 good games on one night and 2 **** games on the next, 2 games a night suck

His hate of England that doesnt think its possible that we can beat a team that Bangladesh can

The semis aren't set in stone yet, for sure, certainly not the combination, nor who plays who.

 

[hirthy]

if the pakistan and indian team were still in there would be a decent match on every night and less irish and bangladesh spanking

 

[bus24]

Well isn't this rivoting stuff.

Bangers have provided the best matches of the tournament, the Saffer humiliation and tonights game is the best game so far
