Suprising that Hayden didn't take out the award considering he was just unstoppable throughout the tournament. according to cricinfo he wasn't dismissed inside the first 10 overs once throughout and scored not just off bad deliveries but also off good length ones too which is why he was so devastating.]]> Thu, 03 May 2007 12:34:11 +0000 http://www.cricketworld.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3223&PID=130467#130467 World Cup 2007 : World Cup Failures http://www.cricketworld.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3516&PID=130466#130466 Author: kev2006

Michael Vaughan is probably the biggest disappointment when it comes to ODI's. He maybe a very good test player and captain but he just doesn't cut it when it comes to one dayers and why he is still there I cannot understand. Considering that his average at 27 is just 6 more than Brett Lee who is a tail ender I'm astonished that he is still in the one day team.]]> Thu, 03 May 2007 12:27:57 +0000 http://www.cricketworld.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3516&PID=130466#130466 World Cup 2007 : the most boring world cup ever http://www.cricketworld.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3428&PID=130225#130225 Author: kev2006

Its a good point Clobber makes because we hear people carrying on about how good he is as a captain yet where is the evidence that he has actually done anything to warrant this. Some say its because of the number of games his led NZ as captain, i think its just a lack of other options.]]> Wed, 02 May 2007 07:09:15 +0000 http://www.cricketworld.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3428&PID=130225#130225 World Cup 2007 : The Ideal WC Format http://www.cricketworld.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3429&PID=130189#130189 Author: IbiZZle

I think they should definitely include the minnows in the World Cups.
It is beneficial for the growth of the sport.  Next time, they should have 4 groups of five nations totalling into 20 nations. With all the top 12 ODI-nations and the next 8 coming from the Associate members table. Top 2 from each group gets to play in the Uber 8's. For those who want a smaller tournament then skip right over to the Quarter-finals.
Should take one month to have a winner.

I think it was fine in 99 in terms of format and the amount of teams invited. Just the good teams and then super sixes stage. The current format has too many hopeless teams leading to a lot of rubbish, uncompetitive matches which take to long to complete. Invite these teams to the ICC trophy. Leave them out of the World Cup.

I have thought up a new format for the World Cup which I would personally use in the sub-continent in 4 years time. I hope you would like it.

In the next competition have the 6 normal qualifiers from the ICC Trophy and have them play in a preliminary group stage a couple of weeks before the main action starts (in place of the warm-up games). Play it in two group stages (1st, 3rd and 5th/2nd, 4th and 6th) and the winners of both the group stages go forward to play in the World Cup proper to join the top the cricketing countries.
 
Then for the group stages split the teams into 3 groups of 4 (1st, 4th, 7th 10th/2nd, 5th, 8th, 11th/3rd, 6th, 9th, 12) and have them play each other twice so as to try to avoid what happened in this tournament (Ireland and Bangladesh qualifying ahead of Pakistan and India). Then the top 2 teams from each group go through along with the top 2 3rd place teams from the group stages combined so you are left with 8 teams.
 
Then there are the quarter-finals (1st A V 2nd B, 2nd A V 1st C, 1st B V 3rd Q1, 2nd C V 3rd Q2), making sure you get no repeat of the group stage, then in the semi-finals (W1 V W4, W2 V W3) the winners progress into the final and just like in football you have a 3rd place match between the two losing semi-finalists, before the two winning semi-finalists play each other in the final.
 
What do you think?
