MUMBAI — India's in cricket heaven, Sri Lanka reached the final and Pakistan the last four. Of cricket's main Asian nations, only Bangladesh had a bad World Cup.

Australia, South Africa and England? They were reduced to watching the World Cup final on television, admiring India's maturity and talent and wondering why they flopped.

The captains of all three nations and New Zealand — which at least reached the semifinal — have either quit or are on the verge of doing so.
