Group Discrepency!!! on 20/20

tigerpain · #1 September 1, 2007, 01:45 PM

Fallows, if you had chance to look the group positioning on 20/20 world cup,,,it's seems like Bangladesh, Kenya, Scottland,zimbabew has not given group position value such as A1,A2,B1 and so on.... if you look at super eight line is like A1vs B2 ...it seems to me cricinfo or ICC has already decided WHO they want to be on super eight... I HAVE FOUND THIS VERY DISTERBING AND DISGUSTING...please correct me if i get this wrong... Please visit cricinfo ICC 20/20 group site ,,, you will find what the heck is going on... I am pretty freaking MAD with this BS either by ICC or Cricinfo...

i know even i dont get that! it's not just cricinfo annd icc but all the fixtures you look at it's the same. what do they think that we aint got a chance. if they have based it on predictions as to who will go through then it's bullshit after bangladesh's performance at the worldcup.

Is not it done by some kind of lottery?

I thought we discussed this already? Jesus people! ok here is how it works, A1, A2 will move forward. Assuming bangladesh does well and beats both teams, they will become A1 automatically and if they lose one , then they will be A2. I know it looks as though they have counted out BD, but it isnt how it looks. The worldcup 50/50 also worked the same way. we were b3, but we beat India and became b2 automatically.

yes ... i understand that ... but my concern is that why you give numbering value only two teams where there is still one team is still in the group...it is a pure discrimenation agaisnt small team ...yes we are small but we get biggest cricket fan with our team. Here what i suggest cricinfo and ICC get your **** straight up...after all we ain''t taking any crap from you guys...

tigerpain · #6 September 1, 2007, 03:09 PM

yes it dose ....its understandable that top two teams will be A1 and A2 but concern is not that ..main issue is that they ALREADY have selected who are A1 and A2 and this is where my objection is .

they still think that we are minnows,we are still criticised by some people and we are still unpredictable but i still find it extremly stupid of them to do that i mean come on icc dudes dont you have any thing better to do than replace the original rules of the game into with stupid ones.

tigerpain · #8 September 1, 2007, 03:15 PM

Can we ask ICC or Cricinfo to take the damn valuing off from the group.... hell we are minnows , who wasn't ...????

i thought we were done with this topic during the ODI WC.
i mean, who takes what are ranking is...

we were rank outsiders in that WC and still managed to go to round 2.
May be thats our lucky charm.

we dont want to be tied down by some seeding ranks.
we will go there and take it from them.

Its not discrimination....

those teams just happen to be the top 8 seeded teams, if Bangladesh was ranked 8th they would be there two but since they are 9th they arnt, it doesnt mean those teams will automatically qualify...

Mate do you seriously think that ICC and cricinfo have decided who's already qualified or not? That IS common sense.

Definition for common sense:
The term common sense (or as an adjective, commonsense) describes beliefs or propositions that seem, to most people, to be prudent and of sound judgment, without dependence upon esoteric knowledge. These beliefs and propositions are sometimes developed after having studied, or conducted, empirical research.

Hope that helped your understanding of what common sense is
