Its ironic that the format is being criticized after the fact. If this was really an issue, how come this didn't come up before India got thrashed? Stop making excuses for the pathetic performance. Just step up and accept that this team comprises a bunch of spineless, greedy and selfish cricketers who have their minds on money more than the glory of representing their country in a world sporting event. This team deserved the hammering they got. Interestingly enough, we don't see any other teams complaining. Don't add insult to injury. Followers of this game are not stupid. Lastly, we have also just seen the shameless bozos you sent relaxing in the beautiful carribean, some in the pool, walking on the beach, etc. Any self-respecting sportsperson in the world would be hiding in the bathroom and not be showing their faces in public, but of course this team comprises of "true gems". Boy, what a well deserved and hard earned vacation this is. For their splendid performance, all you collective morons (organizers) need to do is send in the missing elements for further pictures and to complete a perfect vacation - beautiful models to serve the players vodka martinis by the pool and groom their beautiful hair and delicate nails.
