Yeh it’s absolutely bullshitjaybro wrote: ↑Mon Mar 12, 2018 9:25 pmSee this is what I was talking about it being unfair with the ‘Carry over points’ from the Group stage to the super sixes. Afghanistan have not been ‘disadvantaged’ at all from losing to Hong Kong, we won 3 and tied 1 but are only 3 points ahead of Afghanistan who have only beaten Nepal.
I said this was an issue and now it’s happened and of course Afghanistan have been the benefactors, if we lose our first game to the Windies and they win their first they’re just 1 point behind us!!!!
That is true, but there's still the backup of NRR in case you're tied on points. In such tournaments its unlikely AFG would lose to HK or Nepal and still somehow equal ZIM on points unless ZIM also lost a bunch of games. As it is, AFG are a whopping 3 points behind.jaybro wrote: ↑Mon Mar 12, 2018 9:25 pmSee this is what I was talking about it being unfair with the ‘Carry over points’ from the Group stage to the super sixes.

Maybe, but I'm not so sure. The most important thing is that the ICC has always been doing this. Are you suggesting that previous World Cups or Champions Trophies are invalid in terms of determining the champion due to this design flaw in the tournament? It might not be a perfect design, but I can understand the logic in it.
True, but the group stage has shown that there is literally essentially nothing seperating ZIM, SCO, and AFG. The games have all been fairly close. Scotland and ZIM tied, ZIM and AFG was only a 2 run margin, and SCO and AFG got down to the last 20 balls. If anyone of them qualifies without washouts, then whichever team qualifies fully deserves it.
