Countries were not given enough chance to prove themselves in the group matches(since they got to play only 3 matches against each other), whereas the Super 8's have five matches for each country to add on points(for what good reason?).
also, the format for this time (WC) has taken away the sheen from world cup cricket and turned it into a AD-generating football match series! Cricket in the traditional sense was never played like this before!
it should be either a elimination round leading to semifinals or a full blown world series with countries being given more chance to prove themselves and add on points.
world cup is not really "cricket" but a fun-place to bat and bowl:)
