I do think Pakistan had a few easier games though in what was a poorer group, including teams like Afghanistan and Namibia and Scotchland.

But as in any World Cup/Championships, it also comes down to the luck of the draw and an eventual winner can avoid the so called better teams/players.

What was that catchphrase, similar to what Rick Flair used to say...
" To be the best, you've got to and should have to beat the best!. "
