BTW, what does 60% chance of rain mean - It will rain 60% of the day with 100% probability or it will rain 100% of the day with 60% probability. Or it may rain for X% of the day with 60% probability with X being a known unknown ;)

bottomline: ICC expects its events to be successful when it does not take efforts to study climate patterns nor is it flexible enuf to make last minute changes.

ICC has been smart here .. they have scheduled all rivalries - India-Pak, WI-SAF, Aus-Eng in the group stage itself ... did not want another shocker like the 50-50 WC.

and sl-nz ... the rivalry that no one cares abt by default .. they have a lot in common ... both teams until now used to play really boring cricket ... only now they have a couple of exciting fast bowlers (malinga and bond) ... but sl at least have a couple of attractive batsmen - like mahela and sanga, aravinda in the past, nz only had crowe as far as i can remember.

Nope. Aussies would need win by 98 runs or more. If Aus bat 2nd, #overs would depend on the target - 100 in 8 overs, 150 in 9 overs, 200 in 10 overs.

And now, the big one ... Aussies fighting to stay in the competition. The last world cup where they faced a similar situation, Steve Waugh stepped up from captain to legend.

Meanwhile, Zimbabwe wouldnt mind a bout of rain.

England win the toss and bat 1st - Zimbabwe virtually now has to pray for Eng win. Aussies are unlikely to win in 8-10 overs to eliminate Eng !!!!

How did you work that out?

From the points table:

Eng: FOR = 188/20, AGAINST = 138/20

Eng need to >= -1.196

If Eng score 100, then letz say Aussies need X overs to win in order for Eng's NRR to go below 1.196

(188+100)/40 - (138+101)/(20+X) >= -1.196

Solving for X will give 8 overs and 2 balls ;)
