The Knockout stage table is wrong.The correct one is

SEMI-FINAL PERMUTATIONS

The semi-final match-ups will be determined by the finishing positions from the pool stage.

Semi-final 1 Winner QF1 (A1 v B4) v Winner QF3 (A3 v B2) Semi-final 2 Winner QF2 (A2 v B3) v Winner QF4 (A4 v B1)

Proofs 1) http://www.icc-cricket.com/cricket-world-cup/fixtures/finals 2) http://www.espncricinfo.com/ci/content/page/817521.html

kindly change asap Srsembiyan (talk) 16:14, 11 March 2015 (UTC)

 Not done Winner QF1 (A1 v B4) v Winner QF3 (A3 v B2) and Winner QF2 (A2 v B3) v Winner QF4 (A4 v B1) are the two semi-finals, however the dates have not yet been decided. If New Zealand get to the semi-final, then they will play in Semi-Final 1, and if Australia get to the semi-final and are not playing New Zealand, they will play in semi-final 2. Both the sources that you listed agree with what I've said. Joseph2302 (talk) 16:25, 11 March 2015 (UTC)

In "Tournament bracket" you can see, what QF-winners play against each other in the SFs and it is exact the structure you listed. BUT in "Matches" the QFs are ordered by date, NOT by QF-Number, QF1 is played as the last one on March 21, when QF2-4 are played is not known yet. That is, what confused you.--Anaxagoras13 (talk) 17:50, 11 March 2015 (UTC)

Crystal ball edits to Knockout stage section

As a general comment, it's appropriate to remind editors that Wikipedia is not a news service. The points tables, the knockout stage diagram and the quarter-final scheduling don't need to be updated two seconds after a team has won/lost a game. The most recent example of this relates to Australia, Bangladesh and India. If Australia loses to Scotland, it can still finish 4th in Pool A, which would mean that Bangladesh would finish 3rd in Pool A. Gfcvoice (talk) 09:46, 13 March 2015 (UTC)

Well said. And on that note, why is Pakistan listed in the knockout stage as B3. As far as I know both WI and Ireland can still qualify and Pakistan could be eliminated. Mr splosh (talk) 10:14, 14 March 2015 (UTC)

The West Indies can still miss out on finals if Pakistan and Ireland have a tie or no result

After the West Indies win against the UAE, they have 6 points and a NRR higher than both Pakistan and Ireland. However they are still not be guaranteed a quarter-final yet, because if Pakistan and Ireland tie (or no-result), then those two teams will both finish above West Indies with 7 points each.

Final

As per Scorecard it shows AUS V NZ. Because Australia is Home team. so we can change as per Scorecard. - SRiNu (talk) 28 March 2015, 06:05 (UTC)

Australia is home team? All games in a World Cup are considered to be on neutral ground!--Anaxagoras13 (talk) 10:56, 28 March 2015 (UTC)

Proposal to put youtube highlight videos in external links

I propose putting the youtube highlight videos in external links for at least the semi-finals & finals eg New Zealand vs South Africa Cricket World Cup Semi Final 2015 Full Highlights (HD 720p) but in a more compact form. Is there any problem to do this? DadaNeem (talk) 12:44, 17 September 2015 (UTC)

First of all, it's a copyright violation. I don't know who "HD Cricket World" are, but they definitely don't have the rights to put highlights from the Cricket World Cup on Youtube, and therefore we shouldn't be linking to it from here. Second of all, it's not a valid source: a Youtube video of the game itself is a primary source. If we use a video of the game as a source for anything in the article, that's effectively original research as we would be applying our own opinions to the game. – PeeJay 12:49, 17 September 2015 (UTC)
