I don't mind carrying results through, but surely you then play all the teams from the other group, not just 2 out of 3 of them.
Carrying results is one thing, carrying through NRR is absurd. And yeah I thought the whole point of super sixes is that everyone plays each other.

It's not quite like that. They've only carried through the run rates of the games between the teams in the Super 6. However, where SA have gained an advantage is that they now play SL and Zimbabwe in the Super 6, whilst WI play SL and Aus, Eng play Zim and Aus.

So for WI and Eng to finish ahead of SA, they need to win their games by a bigger NRR than SA do......gonna be tough.

NZ thrashed by India and out of the comp. Close game between WI (who looked to be cruising) and SL. Pakistan gradually beating Ireland but making tough work of it. That will all but guarantee their semi final berth unless they get thrashed by Bangladesh.

India look head and shoulders above everyone else, but we've said that before about them at World Cups!!

Yeah like wtf is this format. If you have a second stage then things should start fresh, manifestly unfair that how hard you bash up minnows has any bearing on your likelihood to progress through the next stage.
Seems like a lot of effort to eliminate 4 teams

Whilst all but handing the semi final spots to 4 teams too. It's all but rendered the Super 6 stage pointless. It'll be interesting to see if anyone can cause a surprise.

Basically we have to beat Australia and just hope for the best. If we get eliminated having won 4 out of 5 matches and narrowly losing one group game, we can safely say the format is flawed.

Pea brain batting with great talent...that is all. They are not skillful or game/match aware.
Johnson has shown it in other forms of cricket. But here he is playing T20 cricket. He should be so much better.

Dindyal, however, bats like this all the time. He is unbelievably frustrating.

It's the analogue of a fast bowler with raw pace spraying it all over. They should be able to work on this. It's good that they are young and green...they should adapt and adapt fast because the next stage is international cricket with the big boys. They can easily be found out if they are not urgent with this.
