India's likely Super8 fixtures:This is incorrect, the seeding is already decided. If we go through we get England, Windies and SA ( or replace with team that takes their place)
Nothing to do with where people finish
This is a tournament of chaos!!India's likely Super8 fixtures:
Vs Afghanistan - 20th June (Barbados).
Vs Ban/Ned - 22nd June (Antigua).
Vs Australia - 24th June (St Lucia).
US beat Canada and Pakistan and gave India a run for their money while Ireland was nowhere against India and lost comfortably to Canada. Why will USA suddenly lose to a poor performing in their home.Pakistan will be unfortunate to go out with rain
If all matches are completed I would expect Ireland to beat USA and for us to beat Ireland.
It's only carelessness that has stopped us topping this group
Yeah I think with the weather forecast this far out, maybe something could have been done?Why arent the matches bring shifted out of Florida??
Yes, although I’m not sure about the drainage facilities at the ground.On Friday its showing very minimal rain and 0% chances of rain after 12 in afternoon. Does water logging is an issue or what?
The rain is so bad in South Florida that a flood warning has made it onto the CNN headlines.
Players will have to swim to get to the ground.
Where is this?
Stop blaming rain if Pakistan out of the tournament .They bottled the job against USA and India.
Well Ireland can technically qualify as can other teams in other groups who may be hampered by rain.Stop blaming rain if Pakistan out of the tournament .They bottled the job against USA and India.
Rain will only help USA qualify and no one else?Well Ireland can technically qualify as can other teams in other groups who may be hampered by rain.
Rained off games in tournaments make it unbalanced. Obviously the weather cannot be controlled but there needs to be some measures in place to maintain some fairness at a world event.
It may hamper Ireland, Pakistan and has hampered England in another group.Rain will only help USA qualify and no one else?
Nothing as unbalanced ,its part of game. Sometimes its favour you or sometimes apposition .Well Ireland can technically qualify as can other teams in other groups who may be hampered by rain.

It just seems to be casually accepted as the way things go in cricket but really you can't have the weather dictating a world event like this.
And yes I understand if Pakistan did XYZ then they wouldn't have to worry about rain arguments...but putting that to one side it's unfair that some teams always get a reduced number of matches in ICC tournaments.
If matches can't be moved then in future world cups they should decided by pre tournament seedings/rankings or a bowl out or something. Just saying Oops it's raining here is a point each isn't the way to do things.
Why would they deserve it more than Ireland, who may not get a chance to play the USA or Pakistan?Nothing as unbalanced ,its part of game. Sometimes its favour you or sometimes apposition .
If USA reach in Super 8 then they deserved becouse they beat Pakistan twice in a game. It was not a fluke
Jeopardy should be achieved through actual cricket, not artificially introduced by the weather.I agree completely with that but the whole point of tournament cricket is that it is not based on rankings once you do qualify for the tournament.
Unless cricket as a whole finds a way to mitigate the impact of rain, there is nothing that can be done for ICC tournaments in particular.
A lot of fans, especially English fans, were complaining about the lack of jeopardy in past ICC events and how the group stages were too long and favoured the traditional Test nations.
Well it's shorter this time and you have to win every match to be sure of a chance at qualification- plenty of jeopardy.
Rain was a huge issue in Australia last time too and the rained out SA-ZIM game allowed PAK to qualify for the semis.
Ireland were played against india and lost the match badly While USA match against india was Very close ,even at one point they were in winning postionWhy would they deserve it more than Ireland, who may not get a chance to play the USA or Pakistan?
Jeopardy should be achieved through actual cricket, not artificially introduced by the weather.
At the very least they should have a bowl out - still a lot of luck involved but the players need to step up and perform under pressure. It's something that can be practiced for, keeps viewers engaged and still has some elements of the game involved.
Yeah I think with the weather forecast this far out, maybe something could have been done?
You can’t just sit there twiddling thumbs like the ICC have, and have a bunch of matches rained out like this.
Cricket might be the only sport that can never adjust.

This is the reason why Naqvi just stormed off back home without wanting to speak to anyone from the team straight after the India game. He knew Pakistan were outBy the way, for those funny Pakistani fans crying foul, by the time Pakistan took the field against the US, it was already known that a major weather storm was about to hit Florida making continued games there untenable this week. A quick perusal on any weather app could have told anyone this much.
Pakistan has itself to blame for inadequate preparations and taking proper precautions. They approached this World Cup, like they have approached all other World Cups: unprepared, confused and with victim mentality. The result was being horribly beaten by a minnow US team made up of part-timers and are now at cusp of elimination.

Well, tbh you could be right. Even I didn’t bother checking the weather forecast until a day after Pakistan lost to India. My attention wasn’t diverted this way.I doubt somehow a PCB official has that much foresight bro.
The thing is the weather reports for florida were clear so I'd be suprised if a team and management wouldn't take that into account.I doubt somehow a PCB official has that much foresight bro.
Pak team & management don’t look that far ahead never have.dont pay attentions to nrr etc.. the only thing they look at is where the next free meal is coming from.By the way, for those funny Pakistani fans crying foul, by the time Pakistan took the field against the US, it was already known that a major weather storm was about to hit Florida making continued games there untenable this week.

Move the venue to nearest one where there is no rain. Since there is adequate time, conducting and managing every thing related to game is not that difficult. Tell people who already brought the tickets regarding the change in venue, give refund to the one's not willing to come before one day and sell those tickets. It's not that difficult to do.Although I don't want Pakistan to reach the Super 8s as they don't deserve to, I do agree with the point Mening made very early in the thread. It is one thing for it to rain on that day, you can't help it, but when the forecast is so obvious for the entire week and this has been known since at least 5+ days in advance, ICC should have done better to move the venue. I understand the logistics part but what's the point of not disturbing the logistics when you know the games ain't happening anyways!?
These things are only sensible if NO GAMES had been played in the group. It makes no sense now to take away the natural element of weather which has historically played a part in next stage qualifications now that 70% of the group fixtures have been played.Move the venue to nearest one where there is no rain.

Bro, it won't come down to NRR, it'll be rain, which gonna spoil the qualification spot for Pakistan.seems like India is deliberately slowing down the chase so that USA NRR wont be hurt much even after the defeat.
I agree if only one game is getting effected but there are 3 games to be played in same venue where potentially all will be washed out. Moving the venue in this situation make sense.These things are only sensible if NO GAMES had been played in the group.

Fair is fair, if your game is getting washed out…tough. Deal with it.
If there is a complete washout predicted un Super 8s…that’s where the ICC has to probably act and be more flexible. Not in these group stages now
You open this door now and will not be able to close it ever again in the future.I agree if only one game is getting effected but there are 3 games to be played in same venue where potentially all will be washed out. Moving the venue in this situation make sense.
There should be 4 reserve days held between the group stage and the super eights. These days should be earmarked to complete/replay any washed out games. And all locations should be on stand by for hosting, and the location with the best weather forecast should be picked to play these matches. 3 T20 matches can be played on one venue in a single day. So hopefully all “washed out matches can get a result”.You open this door now and will not be able to close it ever again in the future.
Every team will demand a shift in venue or rematch for rained off games in future ICC tournaments if you open this door now. It’s an international event with a lot of factors such as broadcasting, logistics as many have pointed out. This isn’t a local community tournament where you can adjust accordingly.
What about the England v Scotland match? Should that be replayed if the ICC moves the venue now?
This is cricket. This is the purity of the gameSerious effort needs to be made to remove the ridiculousness of weather influencing tournament outcomes. Stop treating this with a “oh well s*** happens” attitude.

“Oh well s happens” is part of the beautiful game.
Deal with it!
This is ridiculous. Is there any other major sport that is influenced so heavily by the weather like this?
Thank you Amir for bowling the worst Super Over in history. The single biggest reason for Pakistan’s elimination.
You can’t concede 19 runs vs USA. This is what he came back for.
Happy retirement and don’t let the door hit you on the way out. You have let Pakistan cricket down once more.
The door shouldn't be opened in this tournament, but the ICC should add a clause for future tournaments stating that games may be moved due to extreme weather conditions.You open this door now and will not be able to close it ever again in the future.

Agreed on the fact that Pakistan don't deserve to go through at all. Losing to USA is still shocking, no matter how much spirit they have had. The skill gap is just too big.Why should anything be done? Rains and adverse weather are part and parcel of the game and Pakistan has no one except itself to blame for another 1st round exit.
Had some short term gain by bringing him back. But he will constantly be used as an example to persuade people that they can fix and come back. Every fixer has hope that they can do an Amir and get a call back. Even non Pakistani teams.Tbh Pakistan sold it's soul bringing him back in 2016.

So many matches in the history of cricket world tournaments got affected due to rain yet ICC didn't take single measure. At least having a reserve day helps alot.The door shouldn't be opened in this tournament, but the ICC should add a clause for future tournaments stating that games may be moved due to extreme weather conditions.
Dude, reserve day for every game requires double the amount of wages you pay to the broadcasters, officials and ground staff.So many matches in the history of cricket world tournaments got affected due to rain yet ICC didn't take single measure. At least having a reserve day helps alot.
Even if it stops raining, do you think that they will be able to play on a ground which has been deluged by 4 days of rain?BBC seem optimistic about the weather improving?
Didn't they generate revenue if they play the game. Anyway there have to incur sunk cost on rain effected day, conducting match on reserve day generates revenue. May be they will not get much profit out of it but no losses either. May be they consider reserve day after first round of world events.Dude, reserve day for every game requires double the amount of wages you pay to the broadcasters, officials and ground staff.
It’s not financially feasible
Because he is a selfish coward.Report - fast bowler Mohammad Amir will permanently retire from international cricket after the T20 World Cup and will focus on T20 leagues
Why now he retired? If so he should have not came back for just T20 world cup .
You are making it seem like Pakistan would have made it to the Super 8 if Amir didn't concede 19 in the super over.Amir came back because there were no leagues going around and the chance of a paid trip to the US + World Cup was too tempting to resist.
And he ended up bowling the worst Super Over in history to cost Pakistan a place in the Super 8. What a disgrace.

That is all just hypotheticals. Who knows what could/should/would have happened.You are making it seem like Pakistan would have made it to the Super 8 if Amir didn't concede 19 in the super over.
I'm sure the Pak batsmen would have messed the chase up even if Amir gave away 9 runs. If not, they'd have taken it easy vs Canada and Ireland and lost those matches.
Very much unfortunate. What is the weather forecast for tomorrow. Match is tomorrowNot looking good for Pakistan. View attachment 144459
Amir has been Pakistan's best bowler in this tournament. Pakistani batsmen has been so poor in this tournament!That is all just hypotheticals. Who knows what could/should/would have happened.
However what is a fact is that he choked and bowled the worst superovers in history.
I hope he takes the opportunity to redeem himself if we qualify.
I think Naseem Shah has been our best.Amir has been Pakistan's best bowler in this tournament. Pakistani batsmen has been so poor in this tournament!
Take Rauf, Rizwan,Shahdab and Imad with you as well.Thank you Amir for bowling the worst Super Over in history. The single biggest reason for Pakistan’s elimination.

Haris over Amir, if it wasn't for Haris there was no super over.I think Naseem Shah has been our best.
So far I'd put it as
Naseem
Haris
Amir
Shaheen
though logistically, i don't think its practical to adjust for a major global tournament like this. its not like you just need to move 30 players and play the game. there is probably 150+ folks involved between the staff, media, facilities folks, etc that have to be there in advance of game to setup everything, also hotel /transport, maybe even notifications/arrangement with local city/police, security, etc.The door shouldn't be opened in this tournament, but the ICC should add a clause for future tournaments stating that games may be moved due to extreme weather conditions.
i see zero chance of any game, with the kind of rain already happening and what is in forecast, there is no way ground will be in condition for play even if rain has break during entire game period. they don't declare emergency for the county just like that.According to current forecast, there is heavy rain from 3 am to 8 am but no rain during game time tomorrow. All depends on how quickly they can dry the ground. I think we might yet see a 5 over game between USA and Ireland because with 90 minutes additional time and only about 50 minutes needed for a 5 over game, the cutoff time would be around 2 pm local time. If the forecast holds up, that would give the ground staff about 5-6 hrs to get the ground ready for a 5 over game.

tickets for fans is another item, though not as major impact.
most people in US don't know about it, but in terms of the organization needed to set up an event like this on the day of event it takes weeks/months to prepare for it and engagement of 150+ people to make it happen. my point is you can't just move 30 players and say start playing. and it is a global tournament 20 counties represented, and 100s of millions of people following across the globe. doesn't matter that format is t20.Major global tournament? This is a mickey mouse tournament and most people don't even know it's going on.

I'll bet my house on not a single ball being bowled tomorrow. It's that obvious.
