I thought it was an excellent tournament indeed, the format was good and worked according to plan, which is always a good start. And a few things worked in its favour meaning much of the cricket (except when England were involved) was very interesting.

I wasn't a big fan of the amount of seam in the pitches - often teams were bowled-out inside 40 overs or near-as-damn-it. I'd prefer see innings that last the course, but I suppose with better batsmanship they might have. But obviously that's far better than the sort of tournament where 320 repeatedly plays 210 and occasionally plays 321.
