Re: Why the 2007 Cricket World Cup is the Worst

mercenary2k:

I think what they should do, instead of 4 Groups of 4 Teams, have 2 Groups of 8 Teams.

For Example:

Group 1 will have:

England New Zealand Kenya Canada Pakistan West Indies Zimbabwe Ireland

Group 2 will have: Australia South Africa India Sri Lanka Bangladesh Bermuda Holland Scotland

And then each team will play each other and the top 4 teams will advance.

So total number of games that Each team will play in Round 1 will be 7. That is plenty of games to shake of the rust and perform.

Then in the next Round, the top 4 Teams from each group will advance.

The 8 teams will be ranked according to Points, so for example

Australia South Africa New Zealand Pakistan India Sri Lanka West Indies England

Then all teams will play the teams from the opposing group. The teams which accumulate the most points advance.

So for example:

Australia will play: Pakistan, West Indies, New Zealand and England

So, the top 4 teams with the most points advance to the semi-finals

So for example: Australia South Africa India Pakistan

so it will be for example

Australia vs Pakistan

South Africa vs India

and then the finals:

Australia vs south africa

Great and they should reserve 6 month for a worldcup.
