fineleg Posted February 22, 2008 Posted February 22, 2008 Per Cricinfo: "Sri Lanka must now win both their remaining CB Series games and rely on Australia beating India to have any chance of reaching the finals" What are the other permutationz/combinationz?
S.R.Tendulkar Posted February 22, 2008 Posted February 22, 2008 Yea, I think SL still have chances of getting into the finals, but lot of things have to go their way. No doubt their back is against the wall, but hey I've seen crazier results than this. So lets just hope Ind beats Aus tommorrow and seals the deal.
Bumper Posted February 22, 2008 Posted February 22, 2008 Aus will beat India. Thats almost a given. SL will have to beat India convincingly (earn a bonus pt) & pray for rain at MCG when they meet Australia next.

fineleg Posted February 22, 2008 Author Posted February 22, 2008 Ticz, Our batsmen need to make runz against Aus to do this. They are folding like a pack of cardz against Bracken, Johnson, Hopes, (and if at all B.Lee showz up!!!)
Ram Posted February 22, 2008 Posted February 22, 2008 Aus will beat India. Thats almost a given. SL will have to beat India convincingly (earn a bonus pt) & pray for rain at MCG when they meet Australia next. Yes, that is a possibility. For, now, this is the points table, Team Mat Won Lost Tied N/R Pts Australia 6 4 1 0 1 22 India 6 2 2 0 2 12 Sri Lanka 6 1 4 0 1 6 And these are the remaining fixtures, Sun 24 Floodlit Match 14:15 local, 03:15 GMT 10th Match - Australia v India Sydney Cricket Ground Tue 26 10:00 local, 23:00 GMT 11th Match - India v Sri Lanka Bellerive Oval, Hobart Fri 29 Floodlit Match 14:15 local, 03:15 GMT 12th Match - Australia v Sri Lanka IF India beat Aus, then Sri Lanka are out, irrespective of their results against India and Aus, in the last two matches of the league. IF SL loses to India on the 26th match, they're eliminated again. SL only way out is for them to either win both matches, or, hope Aus win its next match against Ind, win the following match and hope the last league match against Aus is ATLEAST a washout. The Good news for us is this, Fri Feb 29 Sunny 24°/12° 24°C Precipitation chance - 0%

I think you can say the same for the Aussie batsmen, so its basically our bowling vs theirs, we've beaten them before, so why not do it again.
coffee_rules Posted February 22, 2008 Posted February 22, 2008 Outright 4 pt victories to SL and 2 losses to India will see them thru. I am sure that's what will happen. India will be out of this tournament.

yoda Posted February 22, 2008 Posted February 22, 2008 We will make it to the finals like we normally do. Then of course it is anyone's guess, or is it? :giggle:
The Outsider Posted February 23, 2008 Posted February 23, 2008 If Australia beat India tomorrow, will they try to lose the game to try and set up a final with Sri Lanka rather than India?
Shehezaada Posted February 23, 2008 Posted February 23, 2008 If Australia beat India tomorrow' date=' will they try to lose the game to try and set up a final with Sri Lanka rather than India?[/quote'] WC 99 anyone?
fineleg Posted February 24, 2008 Author Posted February 24, 2008 wow how can u say that Aus will beat India.. surely they lead the table.. but we can trounce them too.. trounce? trounce? LOL! yaa yaa trounce.. thatz the word.. Trouncing indeed...just that Aus is doing it! :omg:
King Posted February 24, 2008 Posted February 24, 2008 Trouncing indeed...just that Aus is doing it! :omg: You really should wait till the game is done. Cricket is very unpredictable.
Guest whineleg Posted February 24, 2008 Posted February 24, 2008 But what is predictable is that India will be trounced here. So much for thinking their bowling attack had figured out onedayers.
DomainK Posted February 24, 2008 Posted February 24, 2008 Playing like this, we would end up third on that table.
