The ICC Cricket World Cup 2023 has transcended the boundaries of fans’ expectations, leaving them yearning for a thrilling display of skill and determination or a jaw-dropping upset that defies all expectations.
From the Netherlands’ impressive victory against South Africa, to India’s dethronement of reigning champions Australia, to the unforeseen decline of a historically dominant team like England.
This iconic tournament has given us moments that send a shiver down the spine, sparking a collective search for metaphorical “chill pills” and more. However, for some cricket fans, the game has been too cold this time around.

Who criticized the 2023 World Cup?
Twitter
Twitter user Vikram Sathaye garnered support from other cricket fans after pointing out the obvious one-sided matches that unfolded throughout the tournament.
What was the post about?
Twitter
The user remembered the iconic times when world-renowned players used to make these matches exciting. Sathaye wrote: “There was a time when world cups were so competitive with so many heroes Ponting/Kallis/Wasim/Lara/Jayasurya/Flintoff/ and at least 40 good players playing at the same time. It is sad that only a few teams are world class. We must save cricket.”
The only way is to help other countries develop their system. Otherwise this game will become a sport of only 2 or 3 countries. World Cricket needs help and how!!! #ICC #BCCI

How did the Internet react?
Twitter
Some people agreed with the user, while others felt the opinion was unfounded. One user commented. “The important question is: Did Australia feel that way in 2003 and 2007? Or did they feel like it was competitive, but they still kicked everyone’s butt?
While another noted: “So competitive? Australia literally won everything in those days. And Kenya played against the SF in the 2003 World Cup.” Another user criticized Sathaye’s opinion: “I’m sure someone like him will come and post a tweet in 10-15 years saying how good cricket used to be in the Virat-Rohit era.”

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

I’ve been following the level of interest in this world cup and it looks like it’s a decent world cup. The only thing missing is more even matches. pic.twitter.com/eEhynfet1c
