Does that mean we’re getting South Africa wherever we finish in the group?

Okay, you Paddies; you know what's required. Don't go getting ideas above your station. As the cockneys would say; you get my drift?

In the Super 8?
We play Sri Lanka for definite. NZ and Pakistan or whatever sides qualify at their expense.
Win the group we play 2nd from the India group (X teams).
It was seeded based on world rankings when the initial draw was done.

Yes, if Zimbabwe get the job done.
We are on the easier side of the draw in my opinion, even if NZ and Pakistan qualify.
South Africa and India are best two sides, with Windies capable of beating anyone on their day.

Kind of means the WI win was a bit moot. Hopefully football doesn’t use that method any time soon.

Oh dear, poor Aussies (assuming they don’t start soon).
But seriously, there really should be reserve days for washouts, it’s a farce.

So does this mean that had those 8 teams qualified (which I think they have other than Zimbabwe over Australia) the super 8 groups are already decided, irrespective of finishing first or second in the group? If so do you know if this was done to ensure Pakistan ended up with SL rather than India?

Yes, place in the group didn't matter you go in the pre-assigned slot.
The Super 8 groups were done on pre-tournament world rankings which were:
1. India (X1)
2. England (Y1)
3. Australia (X2)
4. NZ (Y2)
5. South Africa (X3)
6. Pakistan (Y3)
7. West Indies (X4)
8. Sri Lanka (Y4)
So in theory you get two evenly split Super 8 groups.
Our fixtures are:
Sri Lanka (Sunday 9.30am)
Pakistan (Tuesday 1.30pm)
NZ (Friday 1.30pm)
Based on World Rankings we should progress comfortably. Based on how we're playing, we won't. But things can change very quickly. Winning the first game puts us in a great position, but it would be typical England to beat them 3-0 in the warm up then lose the critical game!

Taliban going well.
Subcontinental political bullshit comes to UK Cricket.
The league that brands itself on inclusivity now excluding people based on their nationality.

This should be a massive scandal. It's completely illegal and demands serious answers from the ECB about letting international ownership into cricket, particularly when it's going to be used as a political weapon by India.

The Hundred: IPL-linked teams 'not considering Pakistan players'
Four sides in The Hundred with links to the IPL are not expected to sign players from Pakistan in next month's auction.

Also, when did we become the “super giants” other than the originals? Seems a bit naff

I haven't studied the Pakistan fixtures this year but there could well be a clash like there was last year when also zero Pakistani players were picked. And also there generally being a lack of Pakistani players of quality worth signing.
This was the article about it last year -
But despite all that the gut tells me something stinks about the whole situation and we won't see any Pakistani players for a long time...

Well I think we need to be letting Lancs know that it is unacceptable to be banning players from Pakista. I know the Originals are a different entity but they should nit be allowed to play at OT
