Wake up guyz. The author's right...
by Shiva Krishna on Mar 06, 2007 06:25 AM

He's goddamn right all u fools. Read the BBC article about the cricket cup rules (http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/low/cricket/6310307.stm).



I quote from that article

-------------------------------------------------

"The Super Eight seeding is the same as used in the first round, based on world ranking, with no notice taken of whether a side finishes first or second in a group.



For example, if South Africa win Group A and Australia come second, for the purposes of the Super Eight, South Africa will still be A2 and Australia will be A1.

--------------------------------------------------



Since Super eight is also a league stage where each team has to every other team of other group, it doesnt matter which one is called 1 or 2. So Unless there is major upset by the minnowm, the super wight stage is very much decided already. There's no stupidity in this article and hats off to Rediff for letting people know this before anyone else.
