Group B - Pakistan, England, Netherlands

[TT Boy]

Pak know they are chasing 186?

 

[Neil Pickup]

If England win on D/L will the projected Pakistan total be used for NRR?

Not as far as I know - the actual runs/balls will be used - means this game will have less effect on the eventual NRR than the Holland match.

 

[Scaly piscine]

You wonder if Pakistan are chasing conservatively so that whatever happens they won't need to beat Netherlands by much

 

[BoyBrumby]

This'll be the over too many from Adil. 4 off the first ball.

EDIT: & the third.

I would think so..

"Only those matches where results are achieved will count for the purpose of net run rate calculations. Where a match is abandoned, but a result is achieved under Duckworth/Lewis, for net run rate purposes Team 1 will be accredited with Team 2‟s Par Score on abandonment off the same number of overs faced by Team 2. Where a match is concluded but with Duckworth/Lewis having been applied at an earlier point in the match, Team 1 will be accredited with 1 run less than the final Target Score for Team 2 off the total number of overs allocated to Team 2 to reach the target."

???

Batting conservatively would mean they'd have to beat Netherlands by more, surely?

So whats the gist?

No idea! I was hoping someone might decode it for me.

That's why.

What a fool

 

[BoyBrumby]

Wright deserved that after the two BS wide calls.

Trouble is it brings in Boom Boom.

It's hard to decode that verbal diarrhea. can't they put it in simple English?

No because if they just wildly thrash at the spinners they could lose by a big margin. This way they can win if things come off, otherwise they lose by a smallish margin.

 

[Jarquis]

Surely even we can't throw it away from here?...Surely.

 

[King Pietersen]

I actually think Luke Wright's a decent bowler. Proved it in NZ in the ODi series there. He bowls at decent pace and is pretty accurate. A good extra option I think.

 

[Kyle]

So whats the gist?

DL Par for the end of over 13 is 120.

So if it ended at 13 overs, England would be attributed 120 from 13 overs, and Pakistan would be attributed 89 from 13 for the purposes of the NRR calculation.

 

[gvenkat]

Where is Chris Gayle when you need him?

 

[Scaly piscine]

Hmm Rashid on again... unnecessary risk
