Which Cricket World Cup Was the Least Interesting?

[King Kane]

2007 is the worst I can remember, poor crowds, a lot of one sided games, even the final was a shambles with the match finishing in close to darkness.

 

[Burgey]

This one so far. Boring as bat**** for the most part and a terrible place to play it. Still has time to turn it around, results wise at least.

Have to agree with Burgey. Australia has been extremely boring this WC . If not for Warner and Zampa they would have been competing with England for wooden spoon . Hope SA puts them out of misery.

2003 was real curse moments for South Africa, I remember they stuffed up Duckworth-Lewis a blocked out the last bell before the rain stopped the match.

This WC has been the least interesting in my time watching, just ahead of (behind?) 2007. The semi finals really haven’t changed that. Just turgid decks, visibility so poor it’s like a pea souper at most venues even with high def pictures in broad daylight. 3/10. There’ll be a class action in 20 years time by all th players whose lungs pack it in after a month and a half in it

If there’s a good final tomorrow it would help lift it a bit imo. All subjective though.

I'm torn on this one. I've thoroughly enjoyed the rise of Afghanistan and the Netherlands, along with the fun of watching England suffer through 9 games of pain.

The domination of bat over ball has been ridiculous though. This is the World Cup many people think 2015 was. It also says a lot that you didn't really need two spinners either, so it's not like the SENA sides were challenged to adapt and expose their second spinner every game. It was all about the bosh.

Well if you had the WC in late spring/early Summer, where it would spin more, half of the S.E.N.A. teams would be out retired hurt/exhausted by now. Most venues around that time are boiling hot in the day & spinners would generally prosper a lot more, this is also why the last two times India lost a (test)series in India was early winter/autumn where the pacers can get a lot of assistance in some places. It's nigh impossible to beat India in the drier months!
