The 2023 ICC Cricket World Cup has transcended the boundaries of fans’ expectations, leaving them yearning for either an exhilarating display of skill and determination or a staggering upset that defies all expectations.

From the awe-inspiring underdog victory for the Netherlands against South Africa, including India’s dethroning of the reigning champions Australia, to the unforeseen decline of a historically dominant team like England.

This flagship tournament has gifted us with moments that send tingles down the spine, prompting a collective search for metaphorical “chill pills” and beyond. However, for some cricket fans, this time around, the game has been too cold.

Who Criticised The 2023 World Cup?

Twitter

Twitter user Vikram Sathaye gained support from other cricket fanatics after he pointed out the obvious one-sided games that played out throughout the tournament.

What Was The Post About?

Twitter

The user looked back at the iconic times when world-renowned players used to make these matches thrilling. Sathaye wrote, “There was a time World cups would be so so competitive with so many heroes Ponting / Kallis / Wasim / Lara /  Jayasurya / Flintoff / and at least 40 good players playing same time. Sad that barely a few teams are world-class. We must save cricket .”

Only way is to help other countries develop their system . Otherwise this game will become only a 2-3 country sport . World Cricket needs help and how !!! #ICC #BCCI

How Did The Internet React?

Twitter

Some people agreed with the user while others felt that the take was baseless. One user commented. “Important question is did Australia feel this way in 2003 and 2007? Or did they feel like it was competitive, but they still kicked everyone’s a**.”

While another noted, “So competitive? Australia literally won everything in those days. And Kenya played SF of 2003 WC.” Another user critiqued Sathaye’s opinion, “I am sure someone like him will come and post a tweet 10-15 years from now saying how good cricket used to be in the Virat-Rohit era.”

I am sure someone like him will come and post a tweet 10-15 years from now saying how good cricket used to be in the Virat-Rohit era.It’s time we celebrate what we have in hand. We have teams like Afghanistan beating 4 sides in a row and aiming for the SF, current world…

I have been tracking interest level of this world cup and it appears it’s a decent world cup. Only thing it lacks is more close matches. pic.twitter.com/eEhynfet1c
