What the heck was all that about?

Bowl-out? What? India and Pakistan tied and they both moved to the second level. Why have a stupid "bowl-out"? It doesn't mean a thing. Not even bragging rights. I can understand if they were fighting for a place in the next level. The points are not being carried over. So why? Oh!!! this silliness should stop. ICC and their rules.

    First of all...Points are not carried over to the Super 8!

    Secondly...The ICC 20/20 rules are quite silly, I agree. But they only sate three conditions: Win, Loss, or No result due to bad weather... Hence A bowl out was done to declare a victor. In my eyes, both teams payed fairly well and earned their tie. Bowl-out does not show any skill at all. Maybe just show the player's temperament. Oh well, atleast they are both across to the next round. Finally! Lets hope they play better against other teams. Ultimately The Pakistani top order played bad shots (eg Imran nazir). Someone should remind them this is not baseball. This is Cricket! You should play your shots on target and have a strategy. Not just go willy nilly swinging the bat around to wear yourself out...

    Source(s): Just my thoughts and opinions. Although, I read a bit about the points not being carried over to the next round on icc website and some other forums...

    I used to have a TC badge a month in the past, however then it disappeared. Probably has anything to do with the truth that I were long past for approximately a month and no longer answering any questions. Haven't gotten an additional one due to the fact that. Oh good, no lawsuits right here. :) MQ: I revel in Classical, Folk, Jazz, Rock (frequently traditional rock regardless that), and a bit of little bit of Ska. So, I bet five? Keep in brain while I point out the ones genres, I additionally imply the subgenres that fall below it as good. Peace!

    points from the first round carry over

    by India winning now India has 3 while Pakistan has 2

    It will be crucial when teams are tied with wins or if there are rain outs in the super 8s
