NO. THis is wrong we are D2 no matter we top the group Hence we woud be playing Ban Aus Sri.. ours is a tough group

[coffee_rules]

Kabira is right. We are D2 no matter what. So we are grouped under A1, B2, C1. That is South Africa, England and NZ.

Kabira is right. We are D2 no matter what. So we are grouped under A1' date=' B2, C1. That is South Africa, England and NZ.[/quote'] If its SA, ENG, NZ, then we wont make it. If we're in the other group, we just might.

[ludhianvi]

so we play the teams that dont play spin well. Maybe change in the squad??

[indistani]

We are DI not D2 so we play C2, B1, A2

Looks like Pakistan will going out. I can't see them beating NZ, ENG or SA. India of course, have a much better chance but they will need to raise their game significantly.

[Predator_05]

we are with nz' date=' sa and eng yaar.[/quote'] ...but India finished top of their group ? Doesn't that make them D1 EDIT; no, it doesn't. I checked out the format on cricinfo. The rules are as follows; "The first two teams in each group are placed 1 or 2. They will retain this position for the Super Eights stage, irrespective of whether they finish first or second in their group, unless they are knocked out by team in their group." Crap rule, IMO.

...but India finished top of their group ? Doesn't that make them D1

no. we are a D2 no matter what. i guess this all started with the 2007 wc so that they can schedule the big team matchups in advance (assuming the teams qualify).

[zubinpepsi]

...but India finished top of their group ? Doesn't that make them D1

no.. its similar to what they had in wc07 we r D2 no matter if we r 1st r 2nd in tht group
