I watched a lot of the Pakistan/Canada match yesterday and I would think there were a few twitchy arses in the Pakistan dressing room.

To be honest, at the Group Stage, I would only ever be watching England anyway, so I've thought it's been brilliant edge of the seat stuff every time I've sat down to watch a game.

TBH, I don't think I can remember any previous cricket WC, tours and test matches yes, but the last cricket WC, no idea

I didn't think I'd watch any of it, but saw all the India England game, so it's been a lot better than I expected!
They're not even having associate nations in the next one. Unfortunately, it's probably for the best.
Although Zimbabwe and Bangladesh got hammered today as full ICC members against teams who aren't exactly the best in the world. Very surprised at how one sided most of the games have been...

All I remember about the last one was that it was tedious and went on for about 6 months. To be honest, I don't really recall the details of many of them bar the odd match here and there - Sri Lanka beating Australia in 1996, the tied Australia/South Africa semi in 1999 and the farcical England/South Africa match in 1992 stick in my mind, but precious little else does.

In terms of even contests, I'd definitely agree, although I still think having the associates is worthwhile and can provide interesting match-ups: Ireland V England, and Canada V Pakistan was tasty yesterday as well. Only taken an interest in every game because of my fantasy team though really

Actually I think every WC has been disappointing. If you exclude every good game, they were all RUBBISH.

Well we've been performing like an associate nation, hopefully they will cull us too because we don't deserve to be stinking out the greatest cricket show on earth.

Undoubtedly it's been awful but the last one was worse. I am a cricket lover but I barely watch the World Cup, it's a tedious, joke tournament.
Anyway England won their 'World cup' in Australia. Something of a thrashing I seem to remember.

The ashes is the world cup, means more to all the england fans and players and they have won that already, so bring them home i say.

Though on reflection England/Ireland & England/India have been two of the best games of ODI cricket you are likely to see.

I'm assuming you didn't watch the last world cup in the west indies,what a shambles.
Apart from the England games it has gone true to form.But when the group stages are over there will be some great matches as long as the pitches remain the same.
I'm hoping for an India/Pakistan game at some point,what a game that will be.

I suppose i was making the point that the likes of Kenya and Canada shouldn't be there to be humiliated. Yea India v Pakistan would be very tasty indeed atmosphere-wise.
