World Cup '07...was it all a nightmare?!!

'Worst ever' dats hw i wud describe the 2007 cricket world
cup in two words....not only b'coz of the upsets,early exits
of 2 asian giants(?)....bcoz of the way it was conducted...bcoz of
d sad demise of Bob Woolmer...and 4 many other
reasons...im sure many wudn't disagree...
And for me the worst match of them all was the world cup final...never seen such a match...was awake til 4.45 am in the mornin only to watch that
match...of course the first half was entertainin... thanx to gilchrist...and the first half of the lankan innings was also not bad...
but the rain and horrible umpiring just spoilt the whole game...
the sight of the lankans playin in bad light was simply ridiculous...the place was
so dark that when the umpires asked the sri lankan batsmen to come back and
play the remainin few overs(when play was stopped coz of bad light),jayawardene went
to ponting and asked him to use slow bowlers for the last 3 overs...the the spectators'
cameras cud be seen flashin in the dark...anyone who has seen dat match wud hope
never to see a match like dat again...
But there is no doubt dat the best two teams had reached d final...and the best had
taken home the cup...the Aussies wer far bettr than any other team in the tourney...
i recently happnd to read an article about worlcup in The Indian Express...the author had
given a tip to make the next world cup more interestin...Include a 17th team in the
tournament(maybe uae or namibia)...give the cup to the aussies durin the openin
ceremony and send them home and continue wid the tournament with the remaining
16 teams for a smaller cup...
Might be effective... :)...wat do u think?
