Are you saying a better team can only be chosen after looking at all games they have ever played together?

No, but I am saying that you can't base it on one individual game. Especially when it was 1-1 in the last 2 weeks.

And what happens if the week after team 1 lose a to team 3 10-0 and team 2 beats team 4 10-0?

A League table doesn't decide the best team until all fixtures have been played.

I think this year's EPL is going to decide the best team well before all the fixtures have been played.

You know how WC's work, groups, then finals etc etc, don't you?

Apart from the last men's ODI world cup, when was the last time someone was "lucky" or "not the best team" to win one?

So, India topped their group, are you saying they are better.

The last women's world cup.

How many games need to be played in your opinion to determine who is better?

Well they were, D/L in a game that had it not got over the line they were out, and didn't have to play England because of the weather.

Almost the definition of luck.

If you want to use luck as any guide, look at the men's last ODI World Cup final.

Or does the "won under the rules of the comp" (ref D/L) not matter now?

It didn't seem to matter to all the aussies who are still crying about us winning.

Australia won under the competition rules, that's a fact. Them being the best team in the tournament isn't. They were lucky, all teams need some luck to win any major tournament.

No-one cried, unlike you on this thread, they just felt for the Kiwis who were unlucky. :)

It's happened before. Yugoslavia/Israel qualifying group, 1950 World cup

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1950_FIFA ... on#Group_3

Quite a few of the qualifying groups had similar fixture lists.

Exactly right - just like how England won the last men's ODI World Cup even though they weren't the best team in the tournament.
They got lucky and rode their luck to win the tournament

They finished 3rd after the group stage.
They were 1-1 v Australia in the tournament.
Lost to Sri Lanka and Pakistan who were both poor in the tournament.
Tied NZ in the final and only won on an obscure countback rule.
India were probably the best team in the tournament until the semi final when they choked.

You said yourself teams have to ride their luck and England certainly did - the extra runs they got in the final when the ball veered off Stokes’ bat and into the boundary (plus the extra run they got on that play when it should have only been 5 runs) is testament to that luck.

I’m not denying they’re the current world champions but your logic that Australia weren’t the best team at the women’s t20 World Cup can be applied to England as well.

Lapped you a second time, so no need. Lucky means lucky 100% - some luck implies you had a bit of luck but not necessarily lucky overall.

Example for those who can only think black or white - Team A beats team B 5-0 but one of the goals was a wicked deflection so may have "had a bit of luck" - doesn't necessarily mean they were lucky to win. Kapish?
