Flips, agreed but partly! okay let me open up more on this...i didn't like the format of this WC in the first place. there was too SMALL margin of error for the teams in the first round and A BIT LARGE in the super 8. that to me is ridiculous! a tournament should have lesser margin of error for the team as the tournament progresses see, IND and PAK performed poorly in 2 matches and they got kicked out. in the first round there were 2 test sides (or strong teams) and 2 minnows (or weaker teams). if a stong team loses ONE match against a weaker team, the possibility of them getting kicked out is SO FREAKING HIGH! now if you look at the super 8, even when a team lost 3 out of 7 matches (as south africa), they could still make it to the semis. they could have still made it with 3 out of 7 wins if other teams had poorer run rate! and as i previously said, super 8 round was too long. they could have made it super 6 just like in the previous WCs and made the first round a bit longer and a wider margin of error for each team perhaps.
