		<description>I think the BC&#039;s were underrated by most commentators leading into the match. I ran &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.odicricsim.com/node/16&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;1,000 simulations&lt;/a&gt; of the game using the exact same batting and bowling lineups and we won 399 of them. I don&#039;t doubt SA were better on paper but not by all that much, especially on a wicket suited for a 1992 World Cup-style bowling strategy.</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;That’s what the qualifiers needed for all teams – a bit of danger, something to really play for.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Couldn&#039;t agree more with this.  The ICC has got it completely backwards reducing the teams and making the groups bigger.  It would have been just as easy to ensure Indian involvement if they&#039;d increased the teams (to 20 in 4 groups of 5) and made qualifying easier (top 3 go through).  But added an incentive for topping the group (straight to quarters, the other two to a knock-out round) so both the minnows (who&#039;d play for 3rd) and the big names (playing for 1st) had a reason to turn up.

But it isn&#039;t about interesting games, or even close games (that hardly varies by the number of teams).  It is about getting the most profitable team to play as often as possible.</description>
