you are right... there is the mistake in the table Group E: A1 - India, B2 - England, C1 - West Indies, D2 - South Africa (should be D1) Group F: B1 - Pakistan (should be B2), A2 - Ireland, C2 - Sri Lanka, D1 - New Zealand

Placement for the Super Eight stage is determined as follows: The first two teams in each group are placed 1 or 2. They will retain this position for the Super Eight stage, irrespective of whether they finish first or second in their group, unless they are knocked out by the team 3 in their group. In this instance, team 3 replaces the position of the team they knock out.

I don't understand why Dhoni is coming at 3rd position. He doen't have good batting form and on the other hand we have Suresh Raina who is in blistering form. Dhoni should come at no. 6. We should give enough overs to Raina, Yuvi & Yusuf. Dhoni should not take everything for granted as this is not a other tournament. This is world cup. India have to play better cricket against best T20 nations like S.A. and NZ to win the title. Dhoni should give up his personal obligations and think about winning the title. He should not think he is the one who won the WC 2007. He should give enough chance to other players who are currently in good touch.

Because of his current lack of form, I second your statement. No. 5 or 6 for MSD sounds right.

I am not a complete cricket lover. However, I see the game sometimes and most often through the news. I won't be able to understand what the author mean by 'true cricket'? It seems the author is quite frustrated with the game rather the issue.
I am also equally concern with the issue of hockey? But for this you don't blame the cricket, rather blame the sponsorers who don't want to invest on hockey. Thirdly, it is not the game, rather people like us have put the game in the top that pulls the sponsorers to make it more popular.
4th, the policy, there is BCCI for Cricket the autonomous body. I don't know what is the agency for hockey and how vibrant it is like BCCI.
5th, raising the status of hockey by popularising at the grassroot level and not at the higher level only. Sashikant

Pak lost against england by 48 runs England lost against Netherlands by 2 wickets Pak won against Netherlands by 83 runs. How come England is in first position in Group B, instead of Pakistan? Anyway, ICC must be happy to see Pak in the next round hoping Pak to face India in semis...

Positions are based on the Net run rate if the points are equal

Ali is correct. NRR comes into picture when teams are tied on points. Same as goal difference in soccer.
