Talk:2007 Cricket World Cup Super Eight stage

Previous World Cup record
It is not clear how to read this table, nor the "ODI record since the 2003 World Cup" table! It seems to be backwards to what one would normally expected (to go to a column for the team and then go down to see that teams result against other teams.155.144.251.120 01:22, 28 March 2007 (UTC)


 * Hm. Thanks. Personally I'd think the normal thing would be to go along a row, but I'll try to explain it. Sam Vimes | Address me 07:45, 28 March 2007 (UTC)

Ireland
Re the ODI record of Ireland: This includes all qualifying matches, from the 2005 ICC Trophy as well. But those matches weren't given ODI status, that was only given in January 2006. Sam Vimes | Address me 07:45, 28 March 2007 (UTC)
 * From What I know the play-offs between 1-4 were given ODI status though in the ICC trophy.--Thugchildz 23:04, 1 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Not retrospectively. Check any list of One-day Internationals, scorecards from the game, whatever. (If that was the case, for example, Scotland's 324-8 v Ireland in the final would appear on the list of highest totals). Also, the match against England in June 2006 was described as the first full One Day International.


 * The only thing that might suggest they were official ODIs is that ranking list, but it says on there that: "The only matches other than ODIs to be counted as qualifying matches and included in the Associate rankings are the 2005 ICC Trophy matches played between the five teams during the course of the tournament". My emphasis. That says pretty clearly that the 2005 ICC Trophy matches weren't ODIs. Sam Vimes | Address me 23:12, 1 April 2007 (UTC)


 * Note:Ireland does not have an official ODI ranking; they are ranked in this tournament based on their win percentage against associate members and then wins against full members.

Should this be changed to "At the start of the World Cup, Ireland did not have an official ODI ranking (to reflect the fact that they will enter them after the Cup.) This would also prevent a further need to edit from "Will have ranking" to "Now has ranking". 60.226.133.172 12:25, 17 April 2007 (UTC)

S8 Table Background Colours
I changed the eliminated background from grey to red as the article says that teams in gray are in position to qualify... I know it's obvious that teams with no points aren't going to qualify, I'm just being pedantic.

Summaries
Can we get summaries for all the games? Even if it's a little paragraph? I mean there should at the be a summaries for upsets like Bangladesh beating South Africa and Ireland then going on to defeating Bangladesh and for winning against Pakistan and that match against bangladesh, Ireland being promoted to the main ODI championship table.--THUG CHILD  z  01:37, 16 April 2007 (UTC)

I have added some details in the match summaries when the result has a definitive implication on the qualification for semi-finals of any team (whether in that match or not). This is a record of how the stage is progressing at the current point in time, which will be interesting from a historical point of view. These implications are easy for us to write now, but would be harder to work out in the future, so making a record of them as they happen I think is a good thing. Mr splosh 12:42, 16 April 2007 (UTC)
