Last yr's was pretty good barring the winner.
2003 was good for the shock results.
While '99 was my favorite as it was my 1st WC

This tourney's been cool because the bowlers have done well. People watch these games because they're close, not only because they rain sixes. Make the format more bowler-friendly, ensure that scores rarely go above 180, and I'll be a convert.

Memorable for sure. Watched four matches in the stadium, watched a lot on tv, got 25 or so autographs including Ambrose on a red ball. Almost every one enjoyed the tournament looking from the thread. However, what I liked was that it brought forward some of the ugly points in world cricket to the fore. The associates with the Scotland captain speaking out. The Windies. There were so many terrific matches as well. The India-New Zealand match really sticks out. India just didn't lose that one, they lost at really badly and no one expected that to happen. Every one took notice after that. Even all the associate matches were interesting to watch. Fuller mentioned how it helped see some new talent he wasn't exposed to. Afghanistan was so good to see. They have often been talked about as cricket's most remarkably improving side from their journey from when they weren't good at all. They are vastly improved in 2016 compared to 2015 and that's quite some thing given they don't have a lot of exposure. Bangladesh was asked some tough questions in the tournament and got a fine reality check. As did Pakistan. These were two sides which were progressing well over the last two years. However, now they have to take stock and see how to improve further. You could add some thing about Australia and SA and their incompetencies of different kinds as well. The tournament asked so many questions about various sides, various topics that are relevant to world cricket, that it was just smashing. And yes, the cricket rocked. T20 finally came off age with this tournament.
Posted in other thread but that seems to be going inactive
New to cricket in that I don't really follow it much but that final was very interesting. Can see myself getting into it although I don't mind playing it tbf.
I wanted to ask who you guys think would have won if it were New Zealand in place of England? Seeing as I'm told NZ play a new type of fearless cricket.

Only watched 5 games in full but it was good fun. Made me look forward to some proper stuff coming soon.
Well done WI on 2 great wins in the finals. Much deserved, shame the song and dance are so crap.

I like it just as much as an ODI, possibly more actually.
