Knock Out starts (for grp B and Eng in particular at least :P )

This is by far the most interesting WC group ever! man this is like a huge roller coaster which dosen't seem to come to a stop till the last match is played. Everything could be settled if Bd loose to Sa this saturday. If Bd wins then it Ind vs Wi will be the decider ... if that is to happen i will most likely chew all my nails off :S

I give all the credit to the pomms for making it "the group of death"

this.

Looking at how the things are going, I won't be surprised if BD beats SA .... This grp has the potential to go down to the wire

Ind vs WI won't be the decider for us. Yes it will be for Eng/WI.

^ it might be if Bd beats SA meaning they will have 8 points and qualified. If WI beats IND then WI will also have 8 points meaning qualified. Now then we will be strangled with ENG with 7 points where NRR will come to play. Anything is possible.

Ind will have to lose by a margin of 150+ runs or so not to make it. Don't see that happening.

Here's from cricinfo: Scenario 1: Bangladesh lose to South Africa and India beat West Indies In this case, Bangladesh will be eliminated because of their inferior net run rate. South Africa will finish top of the group with ten points and India will finish second with nine points. England and West Indies will finish third and fourth respectively. Scenario 2: Bangladesh beat South Africa and West Indies beat India England will be hoping this scenario does not happen. If Bangladesh beat South Africa, they will move to eight points and West Indies can also finish on eight if they beat India. With three teams level on points and number of wins, the net run rate will decide the standings. West Indies and South Africa will take the top two spots and Bangladesh the third spot. India will edge out England for the fourth position barring a huge defeat against West Indies. A highly unlikely situation that can result in England's progress at the expense of India is if West Indies make 300 and dismiss India for 117 or if West Indies can dismiss India for 150 and chase the target down in 20.3 overs. Scenario 3: Bangladesh beat South Africa and India beat West Indies This scenario will eliminate West Indies as they will finish on six points as compared to Bangladesh and England, who will have eight and seven points respectively. India will move to the top spot with nine points and South Africa by virtue of a higher net run rate will finish above Bangladesh in second position.
