[darcytiger]

There’s gotta be an unwritten rule between captains that has the traditional cricketing nations batting first in these David v Goliath games.

Australia are likely to get South Africa (D1), USA (A2) and Windies (C2)

while Group 1 is likely to be India (A1), Afghanistan (C1), Scotland (B2) and Bangladesh (D2)

Obviously results go there way England, NZ and Pakistan can still make it though.

Nope we'll be in a group with India, Afghanistan and Bangladesh if all those teams make it

Seedings were pre-determined before the tournament started.

"Following the Group stage, how will I know which teams will advance to the Super 8 stage?

Upon completion of the Group stage, the top two teams from each of the four groups will move into the Super 8 stage of the tournament, where they will be placed into two groups of four teams.

Teams seeded first and second in their first round groups at the start of the event will retain that seeding in the Super 8 stage, provided they qualify.

If the first and second seeds do not progress, the team that does will take their place. For example, if Netherlands were to come top of group D and South Africa came second, South Africa would remain as D1 in the Super 8s and Netherlands would follow the schedule for D2 in the Super 8 stage."

If Pakistan end up sneaking through Australia have a tough Super 8 group, South Africa, Windies and Pakistan.

WTF is that shit... really? so positions in the Minnow phase mean nothing?

Yep, makes no sense

Means we'll literally have nothing to play for against Scotland

Afghanstan will be a tough match in the next round, but assuming we can get past them and Bangladesh/netherlands we'll be through to the semis

Yea pretty much means Australia and India should progress pretty easily to the semi's.

So if the places fall how they look like they will the other group will be South Africa, USA, Scotland and Windies... likely South Africa, Windies, Australia and India final 4 then.

 

[Around the Wicket]

Odd way to do it, it legit should be 2 First Place sides and 2 Second Place sides in each group.

 

[Around the Wicket]

I sort of hope Pakistan, England and NZ all sneak through to make the Super 8 stage more legit.

 

[GCS in 11]

Yeah, it doesn’t matter if we finish 1st or 2nd in our group, we go through as the B2 seed. India no matter where they finish go through as the A1 seed so we are in their super 8 group no matter what.

Even if a number 1 seed does not make the Super 8’s like potentially England, Australia stays the number 2 seed, and Scotland become B1. Crazy.

 

[kickazz]

Cricket world cups are constantly ****ing up the finals formats.

Most ******ed concept I have ever seen, I though A1, A2 etc... was position in said group.

 

[Around the Wicket]

So if England manage to scrape through which there still is a strong chance they will as they only really need to flog the 2 shit sides they get a more friendly group then Australia who's going to be undefeated in this stage LMAO.

 

[kickazz]

Maybe the result of the ODI world cup final last year should have been based on ranking prior to the tournament rather than the result of the game.

It's a ****en joke.

 

[kickazz]

Yeah, it doesn’t matter if we finish 1st or 2nd in our group, we go through as the B2 seed. India no matter where they finish go through as the A1 seed so we are in their super 8 group no matter what.

This bit is just daft.

Wiki's showing Australia B1? That would mean they avoid India

Makes sense, these are the current rankings (assume not affected by WC results so far):

 

[Around the Wicket]

So Australia are likely to get South Africa, Afghanistan/NZ and USA/Pakistan

If NZ and Pakistan pull there shit together and progress we have a group of death.

 

[Gough]

I think Afghanistan are a dark horse to go all the way.

That would be the best cricketing story of all time.

Must've been changed on Wiki.

I'd be going off cricket.com.au

"Upon completion of the first group stage, the top two teams from each of the four groups will move into the Super Eight stage of the competition. Teams seeded first and second in their groups in the first round will retain that seeding in the next stage regardless of their final position on group table, provided they qualify for the Super Eight stage. England are seeded first in Group B followed by Australia in second, meaning the Aussies will go into Group 1 as B2 in the second round regardless of their position on the table. Should an unseeded team make it out of the group, they will take the seed of the team they knocked out. If there are two unseeded qualifiers, it will revert to ladder position. All Super Eight matches will take place in the Caribbean.

If – and it's a big if in a T20 tournament – there are no major upsets and all the seeded teams progress, Australia will play Sri Lanka, New Zealand and India in that order in their three Super Eight fixtures."

 

[kickazz]

That would be the best cricketing story of all time.

If it was their women's team, then yes it would be.

Wiki has Group B and Group C listed wrong there, England is B1, Australia is B2, New Zealand is C1 and the West Indies are C2. The other two groups are correct.

So the Super 8 groups no matter what will be:

Group 1:
India (A1)
Australia (B2)
Afghanistan/New Zealand (C1)
Bangladesh/Netherlands/Nepal (D2)


Group 2:
USA/Pakistan (A2)
Scotland/England (B1)
West Indies/Afghanistan (only if New Zealand & Afghanistan both qualify) (C2)
South Africa (D1)


The Aus vs Scotland game does not matter at all to us, except to eliminate England if we want to.

 

[Around the Wicket]

Classic Wiki lol

 

[Around the Wicket]

Australia v India Final is the favourite looking at those groups.

 

[tigland]

Putting us in the Super 8 group with India is obviously so we avoid each other in the semis. Makes no sense that they have pre determined who goes to which Super 8 group before a game is played.
