Super Yawn

The Super Eights at the Cricket World Cup have been a big yawn. Of the seven games so far only one has been somewhat interesting (South Africa- Sri Lanka). The margins in the rest are indicative of the problem. The smallest victory by wickets was by seven wickets, by runs 48 (the other two were by above a hundred runs). The first round had some interesting games with all the upsets. Nothing interesting would have been lost had the tournament proceeded to the semifinals directly.
