Crunched some quick numbers earlier.
And at worst, with the exception of Ireland and Afganistan both winning both their matches (and we lose to England), NZ will be 2nd equal in the pool and it will come down to NRR to determine if NZ advance.
BTW if AFG and IRE do win both they go to 6 and 7 points (or maybe 7 and 6 can't remeber). We stay on 5 (if we lose to ENG). Probably reasonable odds available on that.
So Ireland ... hmmm ...
Just not up to this level. 25/5.
NRR worst case for us then.
Just make it close you Paddies.

Gilly looking at ground staff at the ready ...
Not too much on the radar.
Light misty stuff a fair way out West. Shouldn't be an issue.

This is the dumbest finish I've seen in a long while. 4 dots and a wicket then they take a single off the last ball to keep the #11 on strike and leave the bloke who's scored > 50% of the teams runs stranded at the other end.
Then you run yourself out to end the game

Yep. Dumb single at the end of the 17th.
Happy that they clawed back the RR

A World Cup where the finalists will likely be decided by weather.

It is cricket. Has always been so.

Yeah. So I was completely wrong about that.
Entirely possible both Aus win v Afg and Eng win their last two (us & SL ) and end up on 7pts.
Then anything other than a win v IRE leaves us short of 7.
Afg can get to 6 as well.
Way too many ways to miss the cut.

My thoughts exactly. Bizarre.
It wasn't likely that they could chase down 40 odd off the last 3, but if ever there was a time to turn down a single it was on the last ball of the 16th over. It's not impossible for a player on 70 to have three good overs of hitting.
