The format for the world cup was known before WC was started and every so called top team knew their strengths & weaknesses before WC. Now if we can not plan for qualification the matches (even if we know passing criterion) then what is use of blaming the system. What was so called BCCI doing that time? Also let us understand that the system was equally applied to other top teams. Other teams can qualify, only India & Pakistan ca not qualify. How do you analyze this? There is some thing wrong with these cricket control boards. Need drastic steps to be taken, if want to improve. 1. Go for performance related compensation package. 2. No advertisements to be done when having cricket career. 3. Every player needs to play at domestic level. - Samir.
