Ruls is ruls

Rog found an interesting bit of information today relating to schedule of games in the Super 8's. Some of you may have known this, but I certainly didn't (courtesy of Cricinfo):

Please Note: The fixtures for the Super 8 league relate to A1 being the first seed in group A, A2 the second, B1 the first in group B etc, as the expected qualifiers from each group. It does not refer to the actual league placings from round one.If these two teams do qualify they will be seeded in position 1 or 2 as specified regardless of whether they finish first or second in their group. For example, if West Indies win Group D and Pakistan come second, for the purposes of the Super Eights, West Indies will still be D2 and Pakistan will still be D1.If these two teams do not qualify from their group they will be replaced in their indicative position by the team that qualifies instead of them. For example, if Ireland qualify instead of Pakistan, Ireland will become D1

Bizarre, and hence why the spreadsheet wouldn't change the venues of certain fixtures in teh Super 8's round, regardless of whether SA beat Aus or not!
