ICC Twenty20 2014

[CAPS LOCK]

Actually works out better for us if the poms win this. If SL wins, and we beat the poms, and NZ beats SL, then all 3 would have 3 wins and it comes down to NRR. This way we only have to beat England to qualify...

England have an extra game on the rest, they have only played one, this their second game.

Thanks Mike. I'll start rooting for the Poms

 

[Creag]

Still not sure if I should be happy for Hale.

 

[Unhappy1]

England have this now.

How many teams from each group go through to the next round?

2

2

So we're probably ****ed.

 

[Creag]

Sri Lanka bowling as terrible as our effort?

 

[Creag]

The music is terrible too.

 

[Creag]

England win. Yay.

Doesn't matter, if we beat them then they would only have 2 wins and we would have 3. We need to beat them to guarantee a spot.

 

[Creag]

The Sri Lankan deities could bale then out in this game. With all those prayers being offered up, you'd think one of them would have listened in.

 

[NeonNinja]

They do... Hale Hales.

 

[Falco]

Now who saw that coming?

 

[Creag]

Doesn't matter, if we beat them then they would only have 2 wins and we would have 3. We need to beat them to guarantee a spot.

My nerves will be completely and utterly shredded in that game.

 

[Lawnchairman]

We have a chance to get rid of the choker tag if we win the tournament.

That's right....only England can prevent us from having a semi

Sri Lanka 3-2-1-4 (+2.199)

New Zealand 2-1-1-2 (+0.276)
England 2-1-1-2 (-0.067)

So NNR would not play a role if we beat Eng. The other side of the coin is if NZ by chance beat SL...then bye bye SL
