Re: Why the 2007 Cricket World Cup is the Worst
^^ all of this could have been resolved if in the 1st round, teams play more games which allows to shake off their rust and shorter number of games in the 2nd round.
instead of the current format of playing few games in the 1st round which means a good team defeated by a fluke by a bad team dooms the good team like pakistan and india
and more games in the 2nd round where bad teams play good teams and makes the games very less suspenseful
I think the ICC should implement my format
2 Groups of 8 Teams.
Each team plays each other with a single team playing 7 games.
The top 4 Teams from both groups advance to the next round.
There each team plays teams from the opposing group, for a total of 4 games that a single team plays.
The top 4 teams advance to the semi-finals with the team with the most points playing the team with least.
Total number of games a team needs to play to win the world cup is 13
With
7 Games in 1st round
4 Games in 2nd round
1 in Semi-final
1 in Final
as opposed to the current format
3 Games in 1st round
6 Games in 2nd round
1 in Semi-final
1 in Final
