Super-6 is the best format for a Cricket World Cup. Hands down. 

Super 6 was super sh!t as the points carried over made no sense! We were screwed by Sup6 in 1999 & NZ in 2003 :no:

The best part about this WC has been the Pakistani melt down on social media after they lost to us. A lot more fun than the actual rain infested tournament.

and when they were expecting a wash out. Wait for the Pak v Bang and Pak v Afg games to happen. I am hopeful both teams will beat Pakistan and push Pakistan to the bottom of the table.

After excitement of IPL, this world cup has been a downer.

 

BCCI really need think about expanding IPL

 

Rain, absolute flat pitches (means less likelihood of upsets), prolonged and boring group stage, shoddy umpiring

Unlike IPL, in WC, there is no real stakes for the top 2 positions amongst the top 4 contenders either.

I'm sure you'll have a source for that...

You mean this?

Giles Clarke, the ECB president, is known to be a strong supporter of the move; a senior ICC source recently described him as "hell bent" on a 10-team World Cup. The ECB chose not to explain its stance.

The ECB, CA have back stabbed the associates on more occasions than one, yet it's always the BCCI which gets the blame. I don't even pay heed to Oz supporters, especially who bring this farcical I(ndian)CC term to any debate, they're ignorant just like their cousins across the Atlantic Ocean!

Gulf in talent between top4 and the rest is the only reason. Rain or no rain, India, Eng, Aus and NZ were always certain to qualify 

Yes. True. But the qualification would have been confirmed in the later stages than so early in the tournament

Which exactly made the format works.. There wont be any easy games even against minnows as you would never know who would qualify. India thought losing to Zim wont matter much as long as they beat Eng and SL.Nz wouldnt have dreamt Kenya would qualify. 

 

But the downside of the format is teams might try to do what Aus did in the wi match in 99
