Semi final qualification status

[Arachnodouche]

Clever way of getting American statisticians interested in cricket. Next WC we'll see an American team filled with professional actuaries and chartered accountants.

England. Status: qualified

bc the first team to qualify is one that has won only 4 games out of 6. One that has won 6 out of 6 is hanging by a thread.

England have only won 4 out of 7. And yes SA is hanging by a thread after winning 6 out of 6

The system works folks. The system works.

NRR should only take into account teams that can actually qualify via points. for instance, if a team loses 3 out of 3, their oppositions' results against them should not count towards total NRR when calculating qualification

If the system has benefited a team I don't like, the system is wrong

By a combined total of 20 runs*.

People thinking Australia still have a chance are crazy. Even if they beat India, Afghanistan only has to flog Bangladesh to get in with higher NRR.

I mean who have Bangladesh beaten, Sri Lanka, Netherlands and Nepal. Afghanistan should beat them easily

So you predicted Afghanistan to beat Australia? Nobody knows what the future holds for sure.

If the system has benefited a team I don't like, the system is wrong

A - 3/3 wins
B - 2/3 wins
C - 2/3 wins
D - 0/3 wins

D's results against others should not be considered when calculating NRR

the best performing team out of B and C will go through based on newly calculated NRR

Well in this hypothetical (and impossible example), wouldn't the result of the game between the two be the best decider?

Tbf, can't think of a team benefitting from stupidly **** rule more than England in the 2019 Final.....

And decider to split sides in cricket is going to be arbitrary and unsatisfactory, far more so than in football or rugby.

If India qualify, they get the later game, regardless of whether they finish first or second. The not-India game gets the other slot.

Depends really, always hated "more away goals wins" for tied scores in two leg matches..... Although you have to admit the boundary count rule wasn't satisfactory.

Nah, that was great!

Cheers.
By later game, you mean the 16.30 kick off UK time, right?
