"I prefer to deal with the positive aspects. We have completed this World Cup. There has been some excellent cricket, not as many close matches as we would have liked. But those things are out of our control," he said.

Speed said he hoped that this World Cup won't be remembered for the negative images.

"I think it is too early to predict how history will look at the event," he said. "The Bob Woolmer tragic death, the finish in the final -- they will be issues that will be uppermost in the minds of people."
