    I was under the impression that the Super 8s are determined by finishing position in the first group stage. But that would make too much sense.

    Instead the top 8 teams were pre-allocated into Super 8 groups:

    A: India, Australia, New Zealand, Sri Lanka
    B: Pakistan, England, West Indies, South Africa

    Given the teams that have/haven’t yet qualified, the current group make-ups are:

    A: India, Australia, Afghanistan, TBD1
    B: TBD2, TBD3, West Indies, South Africa

    TBD1: Bangladesh or Netherlands or Nepal
    TBD2: USA or Pakistan or Canada or Ireland
    TBD3: England or Scotland
    Update after the rained off USA v Ireland.

    A: India, Australia, Afghanistan, TBD1
    B: USA, TBD3, West Indies, South Africa

    TBD1: Bangladesh or Netherlands or Nepal
    TBD3: England or Scotland

    SA beat Nepal by 1 run
    Mad finish think Nepal needed 17 off 16 balls and got 1 run and lost 3 wickets in  8 deliveries  to go 6 down 
    so 16 off 8 needed, six and 2 , so 8 off 6 needed
    dot dot 4 , so 4 off 3 needed
    2 , so 2 off 2 needed 
    goes through to keeper standing back and they don’t run 
    2 off 1 needed
    goes through to keeper on the last ball De Kock throws it to bowlers end batsmen runs down the middle hits his back and drops to Klaasen and the batter hesitates for a brief moment and is just run out , carnage

    Looks like a 20-30% chance of rain in Antigua tomorrow, and less than 5% chance in St Lucia.

    been discussion about Dylan's 'Times They are a Changin' recently, very true in cricket, at least 20/20 .. Afghanistan and USA through to the 'super 8s', NZ and Sri Lanka out, though some freak outcomes owing to terrible weather

    It'll be a joke if we were to go out because of 2 wash outs.

    I thought I saw a great puddle just beyond the covers. Looked like water had just ran off them onto the outfield.

    Same here, might as well have played it in Manchester.

    The puddles are on some ICC advertising which gets removed before match starts. Just waiting for one black cloud to pass over before the covers come off

    What kind of nutter organises a cricket tournament somewhere during the rainy season?  There's a 60% chance of rain each day (normally in the afternoon) in Lauderhill, Florida and around 50% chance in Antigua - which is about the driest of the Caribbean Islands. Bonkers.

    The nutter who sells out to the highest bidder.

    There are so many franchise T20 tournaments around the world, that scheduling a world cup isn't easy.

    As it is, it clashes with OUR T20 Blast. I'm sure the ECB wouldn't have let it be played at the same time as the 100...
  • Golfie just had a cloud burst and there are puddles on the outfield now

    Could be karma for Scotland in a different sport here…Tartan Army went to the wrong tournament.

    So we could end up going out of a tournament at the group stage with a nrr of over 3?  Does seem a little unfair.  Thing is, if we had played better against the Aussies but lost narrowly,  we could have been eliminated with an even higher nrr…

    There is a puddle on the cover, rest of it's wet too. So, not great signs. The skies have gotten darker and there's no one on the ground half an hour ahead of the next update.

    Could be that the Scottish cricket team will still be competing after their football team has gone home

    Never known a cricket WC have so many games affected by the weather. 
    Even the corrupt cash obsessed ICC hadn't (yet) scheduled a major tournament at the start of a region's rainy season and doubled down on the chances of washed out games by timing some matches for early-mid afternoon when thunderstorms are most common.
    Much lower chance of rain after 7pm in the Caribbean at this time if year
    All grounds have floodlights so daylight not an issue.
    Could it be Indian subcontinent tv coverage timing plays a part?
    Even the group structure - odd numbers - speaks to ICC's disregard for tournament integrity - teams playing the last game in each group have the massive advantage of knowing what they need to progress, points NRR, etc.
    Group outcomes more influenced by the relative strength of the opposition in washed out games v the games teams get to play

    The weather is deciding who qualifies in this competition. 
    It's an absolute joke. 
    Hopefully August will be nice and sunny back in England so we can watch some good quality county cricket. 

    Oh hang on.

    3pm: Update is in, and it's predictably grim. Ian Ward says we are losing overs already. 4:46pm local is the latest point at which a five-over game can begin. But it's still raining, and every time it has stopped and the staff come on to clear things up, it restarts. At least it's not stopping the cricket fans are playing in the concourse.
