this tourney boasting as the junior world cup, having system of knockout from qf stage. this way, the best teams like sa, ind, etc. cudnt get to the semis.
i m not saying this coz ind is not in the semis, but there r only 8 good teams in the world, n other minnows, were supposed to b exiting before qf stage, it was simply a knockout tourney of world cup. which is not fair.

ViNAY:

:) Anything which doesn't ensure that we stay till the final is unfair.... :)

Even if we stay till the final, the system could be unfair if we lose in the final.... :)

The only way to deal with the problem is to go back to our standard mantra of "We are the #1 side in the world in all forms of the game since 1932"... :)

If we lose, it is because of cheating, sledging, racism, poor tournament organisation, poor knock out rules, the weather, the umpires, bump catches, temperature, ball tampering, the spectators eating popcorn, the kids who should not be allowed in the stadium, and a "few" other good solid cricketing reasons.... :)

By that logic the entire Indian team should take retirement, as the other 14 players in the squad don't mix with the world cup either... :)

Haven't seen any of them beating Federer yet.... :)

OS:

Exactly.... we lose only because of cheating, sledging, racism, umpires, weather, bump catches, temperature, ball tampering, the spectators eating popcorn, the kids who should not be allowed in the stadium, and a "few" other good solid cricketing reasons.... :)

Otherwise we are the #1 in ALL forms of cricket in all age groups since 1932, and no one can ever beat us even once... :)
