when there's only 12 teams, it's pointless.

englands run rate is better than the netherlands.

I agree these stages are ******, their needs to be another four small nation teams taking part to make it 16 teams over all, then the best 8 into the Super 8's.

But yeah, Soil won't be happy eh? England battered Pakistan, great response to what was a pathetic display vs Holland.

if netherlands win, pakistan are out. if pakistan win, netherlands can't take over england. pakistan can still go out if they win however.

[Wolverhampton]

So in other words, if Netherlands loose by more than 45 runs then they are out and Pakistan are through.

So to sum it up Pakistan need a big win.

which shouldn't be too hard for them against the netherlands. although, they beat england so we'll have to wait and see.

[Geraint]

run rate isn't work out like that. england's was -0.05 when they lost to the netherlands and netherlands was +0.05. not sure how it's worked out.

[Skajo]

It's net run rate if that helps. I'm not sure how it works either tbh.
