I don’t think South African expectations for a World Cup have ever been as low as they are, and nor could the tournament have gotten off to a more boring start. Having said that, it will probably be the one we are going to win!
A tournament that stretches over such a lengthy period, and includes hopelessly mismatched teams, simply does not generate excitement. I, nor any of the spectators in India it would seem, have any interest in watching Netherlands play South Africa and Pakistan v Canada is just a laugh. Unfortunately, it has been a week or so of that already, and with more to come, it is going to take quite a long time before anybody cares too much about this tournament. Interest will obviously pick up if South Africa gets through to the later rounds, and then start competing against teams that actually can play cricket.

I think this tournament has been very boring and no one is interested in it. Even the radio DJs yawn on air when talking about it. In general, I think cricket is just overdone. It should be played and watched for just one season per year - absence makes the heart grow fonder.
