Group 2 (Bangladesh, India, Pakistan, South Africa, Zimbabwe, Netherlands)

[_Ed_]

Can this innings at least give us a 123-5?

No. No, it can't.

 

[Athlai]

nah this strike rate is overrated kind of thinking belongs to a decade ago.

Nah mate the only difference is now all good teams back themselves to get 100 in the last 10 instead of 80

 

[anil1405]

Agreed. 16 minimum really - it’s a T20. Takes one or two bad overs for the entire thing to swing. Worth getting some smaller teams in there to cause upsets from time to time.

This particular edition was gun.

If I'd change anything then it would be having two groups of six in qualifiers instead of four.

Rest all stays the same.

 

[social]

Brilliant

 

[Xuhaib]

Got the win, but this batting line up does not deserve a semi

 

[Adorable Asshole]

SA choked in group stage itself lol

Didn't even waited for the knockouts

 

[Bahnz]

So Bangladesh need to qualify for the next World Cup? Lol.

 

[Xix2565]

So Bangladesh need to qualify for the next World Cup? Lol.

Think it's Zimbabwe actually.

 

[Athlai]

So NZ vs Pakistan unless Zimbabwe beat India.

 

[Shri]

with kohli back in good touch, india would chase borderline totals without drama in the SF and F if it goes that way

can't say the same about any other side atm

 

[Adorable Asshole]

Just expand the T20 WC to 16 teams.

 

[Xuhaib]

So despite all the upsets the Semis are among 4 of the 6 best teams.

 

[White Ball]

Just wondering if it may be better for india to play a semi in Sydney? Could well suit the spinners more.

Its good to be in a position to hand qualified already and effectively decide where you get to play your semi!

Is there a twist in the tail of the tiger says Smithy when they require 7 off 19, what a day dreamer.

TV networks require them to say that sort of thing, true story.

 

[Shady Slim]

bloke in my cricket team pushing all his chips into the middle of the table

 

[ankitj]

We are Indian.

Yeah, remember an anecdote from Nicholas when he’d just joined the C9 commentary team. It was a random game where Australia needed about 40 to win from 10 overs. Nicholas said on the air that the match was over and Kerry Packer absolutely reamed the commentary team for it after the game.

 

[Burgey]

Surely india throw this so they play NZ over England

 

[Fuller Pilch]

Think it's Zimbabwe actually.

Both at the moment unless Zimbabwe win. The Netherlands won't need to qualify.

 

[Kirkut]

Finals gonna be NZ vs India/Pak
