Surely we're playing at lord's. .

[Stan AF]

We've got 70 points from this series. And most importantly Australia got only 40

[G_B_]

So whats the equation for England?

 

We just need to win right?

[G_B_]

Australia need to bear sa to get into finals

Need 2-0 IIRC

[G_B_]

Not that we need it

 

But Sa need to do india a solid and draw the series with aus. 

[Stan AF]

From the top of my head, need to check again.

 

India at 430 with the maxxx points. out of 600. so that is 71.66

England now at 352, if they win the next game will be at 412. 412/600 would be at 68.66

NZ are at 420. So 70%

Australia are at 332/480. 69%

Can there be an India vs England final?

thats in our hands and we must not let it happen by thrashing them. eng would be tough to beat at home.

[SrinjayDutta]

I can see us at least winning 2-1 at home. that leaves aussies to win 3-0 at sa, which is not happening. I am sure we can manage a 3-0/4-0 also (2-1 at worst case).

[G_B_]

2-0 india need to win out of 4.

 

Aus need to win 2-0 v Sa out of 3.

 

England need to beat Sl and also win series v india.

[G_B_]

I think nz and india are best placed teams atm.

 

Nz especially just need india to beat eng and aus to lose one test away to sa...

If not for rain or anyother factors i can see us winning easily 3 games at home.

Even if Aussies win 3-0 in SA, we still qualify right? After winning 2-1 at home?

You are overestimating England and underestimating india. England will not win 1 test.

and if it has to be india vs England for the finals, that will be most exciting. England will crumble as they do always! 

[rageaddict]

Would be funny if it will be a India NZ final if Australia don't whitewash SA at their home.
