Well, I must say that the World Cup has greatly increased the attention I pay to cricket. I was pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoed watching the highlights shows.
However, I have to wonder how wise the tournament structure is. It all goes on a bit long. I'd certainly suggest amending the Super 8's part of it into two groups of four or something.
Also, I don't like the whole reduced overs thing - why not go into a second days play? And, what was up with the final? How can you expect a team to play in effective darkness?
Anyhoo... well done Ireland
, I was genuinely on the edge of my seat watching the final overs of the Zimbabwe game and got great amusement out of the wins against Pakistan and Bangladesh.
