ICC Cricket World Cup 2012
The 2012 icc cricket world cup has a improve format that is very dissimilar from the one used in the 2007 edition. The 2007 tournament had an innovative plan, with the maximum number of teams in tournament history - 16. However, it was a long, twisty event and the quality of cricket was found wanting. Part of the cause for the lack of high-intensity games was the absence of India and Pakistan from the Super Eights.
Do not surprise is it that the 2012 Cricket World Cup has no Super Eights or Super Six round. Instead, there are two groups of seven teams, where the top four teams qualify for the quarterfinals. The change was designed to benefit fans and players alike. The World Cup magnetizes from all around the world because of its exciting format and vast media exposure. It is watched by everyone from all over the world, irrespective of culture and language, by both youngsters and elders alike. People may be divided by language and view but everyone understands the one language, language of cricket.
