Rachael Heyhoe Flint Trophy Standings before today:

Format/Points: All 8 teams are in one group and play the other 7 teams home and away. Teams receive 4 points for a win. A bonus point will be given where the winning team's run rate is 1.25 or greater times that of the opposition. 2 points for a Tie or No Result. Teams ranked 2 and 3 at the end of the Group Stage progress to a semi-final playoff with the winner meeting the 1st ranked team in the final.

so TIL that whether you finish 1st or 2nd in group stage it does not matter. you will be seeded in the super 8 with your pre determined seeding. so realistically ind vs pak and eng vs aus have actually no effect on your super 8 group. same for other groups you just need to finish in top 2.

Ex - even if Netherlands wins the group D they will be considered D2 not D1 in super 8 groups.

if these 8 teams comes comes top 2 in their group - IND, Pak- Eng, Aus -NZ, WI-SA,SL( regardless of they are 1st or 2nd)

super 8 groups will be

GROUP 1

IND-AUS-NZ-SL

GROUP 2

PAK-ENG-WI-SA

Same way Groups are always decided without any group draw and ind and pak are always in same group.

ICC need to stop listening to broadcasters and bcci puppet. there should be more transparency in sports

There should be group draw for tournament

We have had Fox/Kayo broadcasting ICC events over the last decade. This included everything ICC had to offer, u19 WCs, 50 overs and 20 over men's and women's WCs and the 2021 WTC (2023 one went off to 7)

Fox does have a dedicated 24/7 channel, Fox Cricket which had been phenomenal in hyping up upcoming tournaments. Even if you didn't have Foxtel, this content was also available on Kayo Sports (that more of us have).

So, what content am I talking about? Well, prior to the last men's T20WC they put on a dedicated WC channel (Fox Cricket+ 508), meaning they'd have more bandwidth for pure cricket content.

This included highlights of every T20WC games we have ever played (the highs of 2021, to the lows of Zimbabwe loss in 2007), they had WT20 official films on (2016 one was great, to recap how that tournament unfolded), they did a mini 5 game countdown on best upsets in the tournament (Netherlands beating England topped it), countdowns on closest games, Aussie wins and all finals highlights.

Every day leading up to the tournament had something good on the telly, when the tournament started - minis, highlights, full replays, behind the scenes, official ICC previews and their own Fox shows reviewing the tournament.

Now, Amazon Prime has the rights to ICC tournaments and there's zilch. Nothing, no build up, no hype with just 1 month to go. I saw the coverage of the u19 world cup and the stream was just the same. Fox already did 1080p 50fps on IQ4/5.

I've been trying to find the official WTC film for '23 having seen the '21 one on Fox/Kayo. '23 rights was with 7 and all these months and nothing. Prime has had ICC rights since January and nothing.

We've come to the era where sports rights are being bought by streaming giants and they don't put any effort whatsoever with coverage - just take ICC's feeds and provide highlights at the end of the day. The engagement with audience is missing and they have numbers in billions, so complaining online or even unsubscribing in mass won't help.

It's sad because we do have very valid concerns with Fox/Kayo but atleast they cared. Even right now, they are doing Top Plays with IPL, dedicated buildup for Aussies playing each other, they have a IPL dedicated 24/7 channel and even show highlights from earlier years.

As always, ICC media wing doesn't care. Their highlights was with Facebook last cricket world cup and was terrible. They'd sell to anyone, even, Paramount+ with no rewind option, if Paramount pays more than the others. I don't think they care.

In a nutshell, streaming giants don't understand that for a sports buff, we need more than just live streams and highlights. And while I'm all for competitors and lack of broadcasting monopoly, atleast fan engagement, build up should be prioritised when these rights are sold.

A weekly thread for posing hypothetical questions and discussion about "what if" cricket scenarios that could happen in future, or would've changed history in the past.

Some examples to help with the concept:

• What if a player hadn't been injured before a big match?
• What might happen in future if a player decides to retire early, or change formats/specialties?
• What would've happened to the course of historic match if an umpiring decision had gone the other way?
• Any cruel twists of fate or freakish occurrences that ended up changing the destiny of a player or team?
• What directions could a player's career go in (and how does that impact the team), based on how they perform in an upcoming series or match?
• What differences would it make (or did it make) by selecting one player to be the captain of a side over another?

Submit some thought-provoking what if scenarios or discuss those that others come up with here.
