Lets see what happens with Pakistan. If we lose than Pakistan goes to super six with more points than us (unless it gets defeated by Zim) Best thing for us now will be:- Zim defeat Pak Eng defeat Aus In that case we can ignore our match with Pak. If we do win with Pak we would like Eng to defeat Aus. Sachin is under good form so far but he has been successful too many times. I am tense that he may fail with Pak.

Unless you predict it of course, and prepare one of those score cards of yours. :) We must defeat Pakistan. We will defeat Pakistan. Now the only thing left to be said is We have defeated Pakistan, but that'll have to wait for a few more days, till the 1st March. ;P Rama Krishna wrote: In that case we can ignore our match with Pak. If we do win with Pak we would like Eng to defeat Aus. OK, all these ifs and buts have left my head dizzy. I can't keep up with all the permutations and combinations any more. Without a pen and paper at least. So I'll ask you, instead of putting more strain on my feeble brain, since you seem to have a good command over what's happening and what should happen and when and how. Why would we like England to beat Australia if we beat Pakistan? Because we will have beaten both England and Pakistan, and lost to Australia, so what do we care who goes into the super six? Unless of course, we think we may not be able to repeat the performance with Pakistan if we play again. Rama Krishna wrote: Sachin is under good form so far but he has been successful too many times. I am tense that he may fail with Pak. I'm keeping my fingers crossed. :~ Seriously though, with Akhtar Express bowling from the other end, it's not going to be easy for the Indian batsmen. I hope they keep their cool and just somehow play his overs off. Then there is Akram, another dangerous bowler. Man, this is going to be some match. More fireworks than in Diwali. The two teams will be playing each other after three years.

Already in group B it looks like all teams will carry equal points to super sixes.

Check this site. Scenario C (I defeat E but lose to P) Likely points tally: A: 24, P: 16, I: 16, E: 12, Z: 12 Here too the qualifiers for the Super Six are easily determined. Once again A advance in great style with 12 points, P go up with 4+3 = 7 points (4 points by defeating India and 3 points from the other three wins). I advance, but with only 4 points (because they defeat E, Z, N and H). Summary: A (12), P (7) and I (4) in the Super Six Best scenario for Pakistan. http://www.rediff.com/wc2003/2003/feb/26bhogle.htm[^] Follow live World Cup Cricket scores here[^]

He assumes Aus defeats Eng, Pak defeats Eng. I am saying that best thing for India will be a win against Pak + Eng defeats Aus or Zim defeats Pak. Eng please defeat Aus.:)

Rohit Sinha

Ah, that makes it much more clear. Thanks. Though we are in a happy situation now that we won the match. If we win that match against Pakistan too, and if England somehow manages to beat Australia, then... :)

Kant wrote: Match Fixing!!! X| Just kidding, of course. :) Kant wrote: Outrage over corruption link (Kenya vs SL)[^] I think we should give these guys a break. The Kenya team beat the West Indies once, and this time they beat the SL team. With time they'll get better. IMO the point of having the world cup tournament is not only to pick the world's best team, but also to let every team play with every other team. It's good for Cricket, and this is the only way new teams can learn. Because good teams rarely go to these places for tournaments. But if we get back at them for playing well, that's not encouraging others much.

It's... perfect! :) Rohit Sinha wrote: I give up. I couldn't hammer civilisation into the whole planet. I failed. :laugh: Rohit Sinha wrote: I must now go to sleep. It's 5am here.

Rohit Sinha wrote: I hope they keep their cool and just somehow play his overs off If they follow this policy (like others including Aussies and England) then victory is guaranteed for you, though he has no other speciality except bowling fast. So your batsmen may take chance to beat him. Rohit Sinha wrote: Then there is Akram, another dangerous bowler. Yes, he is genuine threat for Indians as well as Muhammad Sami(if he play). Shoaib is constantly under stiff criticism by local media and there is a 40% chance that he will be dropped and Sami acting as a replacement.

Rama Krishna Vavilala

If Pakistan enters super six they will become a strong contender for winning the world cup. In 1992 the performance by Pakistan team was not very good in the beginning but they picked up against their last match with NZ (which NZ delibreately lost) and the semi-final (NZ paid a price for delibrately losing). So defintely Pakistan cannot be taken lightly
