Really Confused about the Ranking
by shuvra ghosh on Mar 06, 2007 02:33 AM

First of all somebody please explain me how this A1, A2, B1, B2...are determined? As per the normal simple rule, The group champion will be known as A1, B1, C1 and D1 while Group runners will be A2,B2,C2,and D2. If this is the rule then know one can exactlhy say, but, ya you can guess. But some other people say it doesn't matter whether you become group champion or runners, it will be decided according to the ICC ranking. India will be always B2. How? I understand somepeople's logic that if Srilanka and India go then according to the ICC ranking Srilanka will be B1 and India will be B2, no matter whether India becomes group champion or not. but where this rule is written? can somebody give me the link? Ok if it is true then, what happens if Srilanka doesn't go and India goes with Ntherlands. Will then be it is B2 for India or B1? What will be for Netherlands? Is it B1 or B2 though they are neither of them? So it is really confusing unless and untill we take champion as 1 and Runners as 2.
To clear out some of your's confusion, the group league matches also comes into affect of Super Eight Result when the point is tied-off between two same group teams. Suppose India and Srilanka both tied with the points at Fourth position after the Super Eight, then the team whoever wins the group league match will go to the semifinal as they don't face eachother during the Super Eight.
So I don't think that india will be always B2 unless and untill somebody explain it to me clearly and sends me the link of ICC where it is explained. Other than that I will request Rediff not to publish these kind of junks.
