The world cup is being overshadowed by the murder of Bob Woolmer but since every one is agreed that Bob would have wanted it to continue then let it continue.
Even without the Woolmer tragedy its been a bizarre tournament.
Firstly Pakistan lose to Ireland and go out (if Zimbabwe hadn't thrown it away against Ireland Pakistan would have survived).
Then the might of India, Tendulkar, Dravid, Ganguly, Sehwag et al fail to beat Bangladesh! and then lost to Sri Lanka to crash out! India's batting line up is aging and living on past glories.
Still I shouldn't crow too much. England are highly unlikely to get beyond the super 8. The first three are so one dimensional that by the time Pieterson arrives we are on the back foot.
Vaughan may be a tactical genius to rival Brearly but he has never scored a one day hundred and his form since becoming Captain in all forms of the game is poor.
Still I have to admit Nixon has done well.
