Johnathan Agnew of BBC believes the tournament was a farce because it allowed India and Pakistan to be eliminated..........
On second thoughts I think he is lamenting the fact that match fixing wasn't possible in this WC. The 4x4 format was devised to allow "big" teams the chance to easily progress to super 8's...

You won’t find Ireland or Bangladesh complaining about any aspect of the tournament
but it is clearly a dreadful error to devise a World Cup that can allow the remotest possibility of India and Pakistan being knocked out before it really gets going.
