Guys ...Cool Down
by srinivasa on Mar 06, 2007 03:20 AM   Permalink | Hide replies

I will write in simple plain english what the author wants to explain.

No matter what, whether India finishes 1st or 2nd in groupB it will stand as B2 in super 8. This means even if india wins all group B matches, still India will be marked as B2 though they stand at the top of the group.

B2 does not mean they are 2nd in group.

I guess this helps.

No dude. I am not wrong. I even bought the tickets for Apr15th game after checking with world cup organizers. I called them to make sure.

I bet I am not wrong.

i dont know why guys are not able to under stand. If pakistan does not qulaify for super eight, it wont be d1. it will be the team who qualifies first in the group. All this markings (b1, b2 etc) are based on the rankings of the teams.

Since india is currently raked #2 in group it will qualify as B2 if it manages to go to super eight. If india does not qualify, but Srilanka and B'desh qualify then SriLanka will get B1 and bangladesh will get B2...

If you still don't understand, I dont know what to say.

check this out...it describes the way A1, A2 etc are designated. It is not, unfortunately, based on team standings in the grp.
