Too long by half but tournament has been the best since 1992 | Vic Marks | Sport | The Observer: "This has been the best Cricket World Cup since 1992, although that need not be the source of unadulterated joy. So many of the recent tournaments have been flops. Even the 1996 competition in the subcontinent, which had romantic winners in Sri Lanka, had one or two major glitches: fixtures in Sri Lanka were abandoned because of the security concerns of Australia and New Zealand, and there was the small matter of the crowd setting light to the stands in Calcutta when they realised that India were about to be defeated in their semi-final."
