What a bore!!!

Thank God it's over. The most anticipated event in the cricketing world, was such a bore, that I felt lucky that I did not get tickets to the carribean. Only 4 matches headed for a close finish in a total of 51 games. That shows the quality of the matches... This tournament was completely one-sided, and the aussies were not tested at all.

Hussey, Symonds did not have to bat during any pressure situations, and even worst, hogg, tait, mcgrath and bracken didn't have a chance to bat at all... Australian batting Butchers and the bowling machines fired as expected...

WestIndies played with no passion, SA concentrated on motivating themselves through verbal duesl with others, England was pathetic, NZ just couldn't themselves when it mattered, SL showed some fighting spirit, Bangladesh are moulding themselves to be like SL, and the only refreshing thing in the WC was the way Ireland played.It was so good to watch them bowl.

No comments on Pakistan and India.. I am sure this WC would have ensured, that many fans would have bid farewell to Cricket itself..

What a bore!!!
