Ire vs SA the next one...suprised there's a day without a game, in the pool stages..

[Aidan11]

Seems odd that they'd have a day off when there are so many games to get through.

maybe they thought the tournament was too short so wanted to just spread it out a bit

Already feels like forever since the last game.

There should be two games per day. We've been here three weeks and are still in the groups.

Yep, there's no reason why teams can't play 2 games per week.

Martin Crowe's suggested format for the 2019 World Cup is even worse than the ICC's... Didn't think that was possible!

It's only a matter of time before someone starts suggesting a best-of-three final.

[braveneutral]

Why stop at three?!

[Aidan11]

Didn't the Aussie tri-series originally have a best of 5 final? It was definitely best of 3 at some point but they may have had up to 5 in the early years.
