England getting the job done very well.

Hopefully knock these off quickly but sensibly .

 

Sky didn’t seem to think we can go above them ?

Not sure if wickets lost make a difference but don't want to go silly and sky a couple to the fielder early doors.

They don't do they, so no harm just going for it. Even we can't **** it up if we lose a few

What happens if we're tied on 47 and someone finishes it off with a 6, do they use the 53 to work it out? 

Yeah. An Indian player in the IPL was interviewed about this the other week. Deliberately only got a single then hit a 6 in that exact scenario.

Great when it goes for 6, looks horrible when you miss it.

[RowlattsFox]

That's shit from Will Jacks. You need runs quickly but can still play properly, trying to hit a shot that was never on. 

[Tommy Fresh]

Not related to this match really, but still find it baffling Sam Hain isn't out there

[RowlattsFox]

What's the quickest a total has been chased down? Can't be many just over 3 overs

[Lionator]

England are back baby

[coolhandfox]

Job done.

[RowlattsFox]

It was needed but hope people haven't spent a fortune going to Antigua just to watch this match 

[Super_horns]

Come on the Aussies and no rain please !

[leicsmac]

Well, that removes NRR from the equation.

 

Just the results matter now.

[Vacamion]

 

Scotland doing a rain dance...

Got to say, this tournament has been great. 
 

Easy to say after a daft England win, but the associates have added loads to this WC. 
 

4 x groups of 5 teams is so much better than a 10-team league. 

[Angus Scott]

The Aussies have already qualified, I'm pretty sure they won't be unhappy to lose to Scotland to ensure England get knocked out

I agree, also the fact that the wickets have been a bit more bowler friendly has made the competition much more interesting

[Super_horns]

Speaking of rain might be games off in Florida affecting Ireland .

Not looked at how the draw for the super 8s works but Aussies may need to finish in top spot.

Two groups of 4, with pre-alotted placements based on icc rankings before the tournament:

 

 

Prior to the tournament, the ICC announced the eight seeded teams for the Super 8 stage based on T20I rankings — Australia, England, India, New Zealand, Pakistan, South Africa, Sri Lanka, and the West Indies. If they advance from the group stage, they will be placed in the pre-determined positions, irrespective of their position in the group stage. If an unseeded team qualifies at the expense of a seeded team, they will directly replace the seeded team in the Super 8 group. No points are carried over from the group stage to the Super 8.

 

 

At the moment Group 1 consists of India and Australia, 

 

Group 2 currently has West Indies and South Africa.

Could of seen the Australians easing off on their way to a victory if it ****ed England over, can't see them being arsed about knocking us out now though and they'll back themselves to beat England again anyway.
