WC2007: Super 8

[icyman]

Well,the semi-finalists, are fixed I hope.
Aus v Saf
Nz v Srl
Or do the equations change if Nz beat Australia ?
That is unless the Kiwis rattle out Australia for 150 odd,and chase it down quickly.

The only thing confirmed is that South Africa will finish fourth and play in the second semi-final. If New Zealand beat Australia comprehensively enough, they will climb to first place and play South Africa.

 

[icyman]

Yeah,i hope that happens,not cause I want the Aussies to lose,but I really wanna see them wreck the Lankans again.
Btw, of these four mentioned who do you think will win ?

Australia are far by easily playing the best cricket at the moment.
NZ tend to lift when they play us though.

They have to overturn a 2.028 (Aus) to New Zealands 1.068. Won't they have to win by about 100 runs?

Still looks like an Aus v NZ final at this stage for me, Sri Lanka and South Africa I feel will not get to that level, SA will get some confidence from beating lowly England in a pressure game but still, England are poor most of the time. I feel that SL have a good side and consistently post good totals but NZ seem to match up so well to all the teams, their bowling attack is excellent and their batting lineup is not bad at all either, Aus v NZ for me at this stage, but then again who knows the South Africans might just come out of their shells at the right time and shock everyone!! :o

Doubt if there will be a wrecking again though. If they play SL again def be a better game

Aus v Sri Lanka final for me Aus5892. It owuld make a great final for Sri Lanka away from their home.

 

[aussie1st]

The final could go either way really. SL have the players to beat NZ as they showed in the Super 8, SA pushed us and can probably chase a big total if needed. For SA all depends on which lineup turns up, they have the batters and bowlers to cause real problems.

 

[Sagacious]

I really want to see SAF winning this time, 1999 WC was painful

 

[angryangy]

I'm not sure what's more miserable about this game, the West Indies' pathetic score or that their pathetic score might actually be enough to win.

 

[Recluse]

Does anyone else feel Lara has devolved into an almost Afridi like player? In the worst sense that is... He tries to smack every ball for six, even the good ones and invariably fails. You can't help but feel he's playing to the crowd rather than the team's situation every time he comes out and bats which results in some ridiculous shots. It's sad to watch him now really, I'm just glad he's finishing with ODI cricket soon. He was one of the greatest batsmen of all time at his peak - now he is anything but.

 

[angryangy]

You can't use today's performance as an example, he came in at a time when smacking around was the right thing to do.
