Typical Richard in action there.Best tournaments (multi-team only):
1991/92 World Cup
1999 World Cup
2006/07 Champions Trophy
Worst:
1995/96 World Cup
2002/03 World Cup
2007 World Cup
2002 Champions Trophy
2004 Champions Trophy
Anything involving Twenty20, not because of organisational woes, but because the format lacks appeal to me.
The 2008 T20 World Championship? Interesting...Wat are the best & worst Cricket Tournaments Ever Held?
According to me:
The Best:
2003 ICC Cricket World Cup
2008 T20 World Championship
2004 ICC Champions Trophy
The Worst:
2005 Johnny Walker Super series
2005 Afro - Asia Cup
2007 Afro - Asia Cup
Oops Sorry.The 2008 T20 World Championship? Interesting...
Didn't rate the 2004 Champions Trophy that highly - ok it had an exciting final and England beating Australia but apart from that??
Personally, the best for me would be the 2001/02 VB Series in Australia, with South Africa and New Zealand in the tri-series (even if the finals were somewhat of a disappointment).
Worst would most likely be the 2007 World Cup
Better organised, better matches, no politics. Same sorry England, though.T20 World Cup>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>2007 World Cup.
Yup, didn't take two months to finish which was nice.Better organised, better matches, no politics. Same sorry England, though.
The organisation was on a different plane, as was the good fortune (or lack of misfortune) - no awful deaths of leading cricket figures mid-tournament, no upsets which skewed the tournament of its intended axis, few woeful-quality games between teams that should be relatively evenly-matched.T20 World Cup>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>2007 World Cup.
The suggestion that Ireland beating Pakistan ruined that tournament is the one opinion in cricket i absolutely can. not. stand.The organisation was on a different plane, as was the good fortune (or lack of misfortune) - no awful deaths of leading cricket figures mid-tournament, no upsets which skewed the tournament of its intended axis, few woeful-quality games between teams that should be relatively evenly-matched.
Nonetheless, purely from the POV that the 2007 World Cup was played with ODIs and the Twenty20 thingy with Twenty20, 2007 WC >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> 2007/08 T20 World thingy.
