 Perfect Tonksy , well done matey!!Clap  We'll have to see how your semifinal predictions turn out.

  I've been through the entire thread and Tonksy wasn't the onlymember to predict the final four , but he was the only fella to get thesemifinal pairings correct.

  Others that deserve a small pat on the back are Watson ,Superbokkie , Migera , Jayasuriya , SL Lion and vipera russelli - allselected Aus , NZ , SL and SA.

   For info , I had India in for NZ - dumb huh!!

 I agree with the obvious four making the semifinals - the onlypossible partypooper being England , after the hosts third successiveloss. 
    Commonsense tells me it won't happen - England lookpretty average , but a couple of rain-affected matches or completewashouts might just upset the applecart.
   I sincerely hope it doesn't happen and the best 4 sides progress , but it is a possibility.

NZ are the outside chance, and beyond that, England are a vain outside possibility to sneak into the semis (but unlikely). West Indies look gone. SA for the cup!

The theory behind it is in super eights;
Austrailia - will win all matches
New Zealand - lose to SL and Aus
South africa - lose to NZ and Aus
Sri Lanka - lose to Aus, SAF
On NRRs NZ>SAF>SL

 I've just had a thought (it happens occasionally!).  Towardsthe end of the super 8's it's likely that one , possibly two sides willhave secured a place in the semifinals.  That allows them someleeway in how they approach those last matches and could give rise tosome "shock" results.
     My idea is simple , the teams finishing 1stand 2nd have the choice of bowling or batting in their respectivesemifinal. That would dispense with the toss and reward the sides thatperformed best in the super 8 stage.

     It strikes me as a good idea and will make the sides really push for a top two finish.

      I'll write the ICC and see if they'll implement it for 2011 !!

haha, lol. We beat Australia because they were missing players? I don't think so somehow.
 
If you look at the last two games they batted extremely well. Having ponting and Gilchrist there wouldn't have meant that they would've got 450, would it? No it wouldn't. They're batting didn't suffer without them there.
 
In effect they were missing Lee, but Tait didn't bowl that badly, he was actually one of their best.
 
I will be smarting if NZ get far in this WC, having to fend off all the criticism. Suppose that's life being a kiwi haha.

Your right to a certain extent 143, however you cannot tell me that those rankings mean nothing.
 
They are collaborated over a long period of time which clearly indicates consistency. On the other hand Pakistan had serious problems going into this world cup. The loss three of their best players, Asif, Shoaib, and Afridi. NZ had a fully fit squad.
 
This makes a huge difference in any case. With your best players you are more likely to be consistent and when we have had them (Chappell Hadlee Series), we have won.

Mojo's leaving out NZ and you guys argee?? These pitches are our own domain. Don't write us kiwis off!!! My likely semi finalists are SA, Aus, Sri Lanka and NZ.
 
India: too inconsistent, also need to beat Sri Lanka to make it through. They win some, lose some, that's they're nature.
 
West Indies: have the home ground advantage. I'm inclined to write them off because they're also an inconsistent on-day side. However I wouldn't put it past them to make the semis, though the four I have picked are all better sides.
 
England: can't seem them progessing very far in this WC. They have been marred by several events, no cohesion or structure. They're discipline is terrible.
 
Bangladesh: Have done well but will stuggle to win when the heat gets on. Let's just admire the talent they have waiting in the wings.
