putrevus Posted March 10, 2015 Posted March 10, 2015 Chance for upset...with WI :hysterical: People needs to stop living in the past. This WI team is weaker then Ireland....meaning with WI...NZ can very well field their "A" team...& still win the game easily. You are overestimating NZ, they are good but so great as everyone is proclaiming them to be. WI on their day if their batting clicks can match with anybody and their bowling is not the worst. Don't use lahore logic, just because they lost to Ireland once it does not mean they are weaker than them.Pakistan will trounce Ireland but they got trounced by WI.

Don't use lahore logic, just because they lost to Ireland once it does not mean they are weaker than them.Pakistan will trounce Ireland but they got trounced by WI. If WI bat first, they have a very good chance of scoring above 300 at the smaller Westpac stadium. NZ have hardly been tested while chasing this wroldcup. The made a mess while chasing 151 against australia.
zen Posted March 11, 2015 Posted March 11, 2015 Pak and WI are favorites to win their games and thus go through to the next round .... In that case, it would be ironic that this group started out with a drama but the actual drama happened in Group A Group B vs Group A Ind vs BD SA vs SL Pak vs OZ WI vs NZ
zen Posted March 11, 2015 Posted March 11, 2015 TEAMS MAT WON LOST TIED N/R PTS NET RR India 5 5 0 0 0 10 +2.157 SA 5 3 2 0 0 6 +1.462 Pakistan 5 3 2 0 0 6 -0.194 Ireland 5 3 2 0 0 6 -1.014 West Indies 5 2 3 0 0 4 -0.511 WI is likely to win and improve its NRR. The loser of Pak vs. Ire will see its NRR go down For both Pak and Ire to qualify: * Their game is abandoned or a tie * Ire wins, Pak NRR is not impacted much, WI NRR < Pak NRR * WI loses or WI's game is abandoned or a tie A big WI win vs. UAE will add extra pressure on the Pak vs. Ire game
YCCC Posted March 11, 2015 Posted March 11, 2015 Weather looks pretty awful for WI. European Champions deserve to go through http://www.bbc.co.uk/weather/2193733
StriKe Posted March 12, 2015 Posted March 12, 2015 Weather looks pretty awful for WI. European Champions deserve to go through http://www.bbc.co.uk/weather/2193733 Weather for Ind vs Zim ?
YCCC Posted March 12, 2015 Posted March 12, 2015 Looks like you might just sneak that game in on the Saturday before that mass of rain crosses the North Island!
zen Posted March 12, 2015 Posted March 12, 2015 As long as both sides can play 20 overs each, the game could be on :dontknow:
Sonix768 Posted March 12, 2015 Posted March 12, 2015 I'd love to see Ireland to go through to QF just to see the barrage of twitter attacks and Page 2 articles on England and Eoin Morgan.. :cantstop:
Zero_Unit Posted March 12, 2015 Posted March 12, 2015 ^ HA! that would be amazing ... LOL! If morgan is sacked and kicked out of the team, will he be able to go back to IRE and represent his proper country?
YCCC Posted March 12, 2015 Posted March 12, 2015 ^ HA! that would be amazing ... LOL! If morgan is sacked and kicked out of the team' date=' will he be able to go back to IRE and represent his proper country?[/quote'] That's where Ireland say 'no we don't need or want you back. Not good enough for the minnows across the water so definitely not good enough for us@
veer Posted March 13, 2015 Posted March 13, 2015 Holi Macaroni... I didnt know Number of Wins counts first and then NRR counts second if points are same.. So, Aus-SCO match gets washed out.. Lanka will end up on 2nd position despite their inferior NRR..
Sid Posted March 13, 2015 Posted March 13, 2015 Holi Macaroni... I didnt know Number of Wins counts first and then NRR counts second if points are same.. So, Aus-SCO match gets washed out.. Lanka will end up on 2nd position despite their inferior NRR.. Oh is that so, pretty weird ruling I must say.
Sid_SuhaiL Posted March 13, 2015 Posted March 13, 2015 Holi Macaroni... I didnt know Number of Wins counts first and then NRR counts second if points are same.. So, Aus-SCO match gets washed out.. Lanka will end up on 2nd position despite their inferior NRR.. Just found about it right now :P 80% rain chances in the evening for OZ-Scots match.
veer Posted March 13, 2015 Posted March 13, 2015 Just found about it right now :P 80% rain chances in the evening for OZ-Scots match. If its a wash out then it'll be SA-Aus QF and Lanka-Pak QF.. NZ - Aus/SA and Lanka - Ind semi... Damn.. wanted to see Ind - Aus semi.. fooook..
zen Posted March 13, 2015 Posted March 13, 2015 ^ That's good as we will be playing either Aus or NZ (or SA) in the final .... and Asian teams in QF (BD) and SF (SL/Pak). This also guarantees that an Asian team will be in the final, a tradition since 1992
putrevus Posted March 13, 2015 Posted March 13, 2015 So does Pakistan have to win their match against Ireland to get in????
putrevus Posted March 13, 2015 Posted March 13, 2015 If its a wash out then it'll be SA-Aus QF and Lanka-Pak QF.. NZ - Aus/SA and Lanka - Ind semi... Damn.. wanted to see Ind - Aus semi.. fooook.. If that happens it would be great so India has greater chance of going to finals.
