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

Yep!

Surely in the case of a tie in these matches they should have as many super overs as it takes
rather than count 6s or 4s. Is there a scenario that sees England play OZ in the SF?

it doesnt matter a jot. in the vast majority of cases the scores won't be level.
in this case there were. there was an agreed way of deciding it which was based on the most runs off 6 balls, or if the scores were still level then whichever side had more boundaries. England had the most boundaries and because NZ failed to score more runs in the SO, England therefore won. Suck it up!!

As many super overs as required is now the rule

 

[RossTaylorsBox]

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.

Haha what the ****

...and of all teams it just had to be England too

They invented the format, so it's fair.

They invented the world, so it's fair.

agreed

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

Too arbitrary. If anything can change it can be carry over of all group stage points

#1 South Africa, #2 England

So looks like an India vs England semi

 

[ankitj]

Couldn't be happier with SA progressing. Hope they play Afghanistan in semi final.

this kills my semi

First tiebreaker really should be h2h. Would be more fair.

Don't feel that's fair either. It just means that you counted one win for one team and ignored one win for the other team. NRR is very fair IMO.

 

[ankitj]

Assuming both Australia and Afghanistan lose, Afghanistan will qualify if their margin of loss is at least 30 runs less than Australia's margin of loos.

That's good. At least one of them will be eliminated come the final (hopefully england)

If Aus beat India by essentially 20% or more (40 runs in a 200 game, or chase target down in 16 overs), they would have a better NRR and move above them in the table.

Rain is threatening India/Aus match.

 

[Brook's side]

Rain is threatening */* match.


* insert name of country scheduled to play

 

[centurymaker]

think we'll probably get a full game.
