We don't have to win 2 out of 3 games necessarily. It's pretty conceiveable that both the Windies and Eng only win 1 our of their 3 matches. I mean seriously, in a strong group it could happen, and in that case India just needs to have a better run rate than those two, and only win 1 match to go through. In this case South Africa would have to win all of their matches. In the same manner we could win 2 matches and still not go through if three teams win two matches each and one team wins no matches and our net run rate is the slowest. This is why not having Sehwag is such a blow. In three matches there was going to be at least one match where Sehwag was going to go beserk and score a huge innings with minimum deliveries. And with little to no swing in these conditions, Sehwag personally would have accounted to for at least one win by himself in the Super 8's. Oh well, **** it.

I hope India win all games and have their semi in Nottingham and then I can sell my tickets for 400 pounds each :yay:

DO we get some points carried from the first round into super 8s? Like the win against Ireland who also qualify?

hmm... this chaddi cricket is going on for so long... first IPL and now this.... Anyways, t20 is very unpredictable. So it is hard to predict but we should get 2 games fairly easily.

No. When deciding the format, the minnow teams like Pakistan complained that it would unfair so the points weren't allowed to be carried through.

what you are saying is mathematically impossible

[vvvslaxman]

Eng vs Ind Eng Wi vs Ind Ind SA vs Ind SA Eng vs SA SA WI vs SA SA Wi vs Eng ..... In this scenario India is out. So India must win atleast 2.

[vipin]

To be on the safe side we need to win 2. Though even that is no sureshot qualification.

[guju24]

y dont we go for all 3win and be on safe side...
