Listen ppl, REDIFF IS NOT MISGUIDING US...even if india beat srilanka in group matches..then also India will remain B2..so get ready for India Pak clash..India gonna win surely...
Hi rediff How can you predict that india will stand second in group B (B2) and pakistan will stand first in his group i.e. D (D1). It may Possible that India will top group B and pakistan may come second in his group. in that case India - Pakistan match will be on Sun 01 Apr. If pakistan tops the group D and India tops Group B then Match will be on Wed 18 Apr. And if both stand second in respective groups the India - Pakistan match will be on Thu 19 Apr. so there are four possible dates of India - Pakistan Matches ie. Sun 01 Apr, Sun 15 Apr, Wed 18 Apr and Thu 19 Apr. Anything can be possible. So rediff please see all the posiblities before writing anything....... P.S. DATA according to ICC web site (http://cricketworldcup.indya.com/event/schdules.htm)

Hey santosh...if you have been to the ICC official website u shud also read the entire things abt the shedules...it is very clearly mentioned at the end of the Super Eight schedules..
There is big confusion weather the group standing are dependent on the wins or not. Even I am confused on that too. But one thing is sure that every team should play with all the reaming teams from other group in Super 8 round, i.e. India should play with all the other teams which qualify for Super 8 except Sri Lanka. So it makes no difference if India stands in B1 or B2 with respect to the teams. ICC did not do something foolish like %u201Dcarry forward%u201D points as done in previous tournaments. I don%u2019t care as a spectator for their business. Dudes Enjoy the matches and wish Good Luck to Team India.

it does matter to me as i planned my stay in the caribbean basis or assuming india defeats srilanka and qualify as B1, as super 8 matches are played on different islands for b1 and b2. i dont know what to do know.

Sheetal, I agree you have your won reasons to believe that some team will win over the other..but why post such remarks on a public forum like this? What do you expect, people will embrace your frankness or your feelings here? Its not goin to happen. so stop posting this message every now and then.

Sheetal is right. In India selction of the player is biased. See in Deodhar trophy they selected Karan Goel as an opener from North Zone though he has played few matches and his highest score is 83 why so ?
the only thing bizarre about the icc's schedule is that,it is assumed that the minnows will surely not qualify for the next round(in all probability it is possible)but if the organizing body itself belives this so surely then why on first hand include these minnows in the competition at all!! iccc needs rethinking of this issue and the format of world cup.
Those who are discussing about the article should read of the icc official website about the fixtures at http://www.icc-cricket.com/icc/events/worldcup/schedule.html I guess rediff has just framed in some other language...

you dont have any right to live in this whole world at all, if you cant say anything without being biased. what is good shines and will prove its goodness when time comes. your thinking and giving biased expectations are of no use to our indian team.
