    Well South Africa lost yesterday so if England can beat them on Tuesday they will be able to qualify without relying on other results and net run rate. Though even if we did manage to qualify chances are we'd get Australia in the semi's. :rolleyes:

    I love it when NZ beats South Africa. I see Kallis is blaming the pitch. What a weaner. I wonder why there aren't very many South Africans on SP.

    Styris is in imperious form and the resurgence of Craig McMillan continues.

    Except for Sri Lanka's 3 main bowlers aren't playing ;) . Their main strike bowler, main stock bowler and main wicket taker are all rested.

    The England game tomorrow against South Africa should be a scorcher. Always fiery with Pietersen and South Africa.

    England have been pathetic this year, except for a bizarre two weeks where they beat Australia and won the VB series.

    Go the Black Caps! Actually, Sri Lanka will probably take us apart.

    Nah I reckon we'll crush Sri Lanka. As long as we're chasing.

    I agree - so long as we score more runs than they do.

    Yeah we all know our bowling attack is somewhat useless if Bond and Vettori don't fire, Bond in particular. Everyone seems to lift if Bond has a good day. Also wish they'd play Jeetan Patel more, he was the best bowler against Aussie the other day by a mile on a flat track.

    West Indies v England - best game of this WC by a country mile. Now we play one day cricket, when we're fighting for 5th place...

    Huge game on now. Jayasuriya gone early, but Bond bowling rubbish. Nervous times.

    South Africa v Australia tonight- and its televised! If it were yesterday (the day before ANZAC Day) I'd definitely watch it, but with uni tomorrow all I'll probably end up seeing is the 1'st hour or so before hitting the sack.

    Excuse me while I go into the corner and sulk.

    :wail: :cry:

    It's so disappointing that we caved in so badly in that semifinal, after four years of build up.

    Although South Africa look to be playing even worse than we did at the moment.

    New Zealand were shocking, Bond and Vettori didnt bowl well at all. Malinga ripped through the top order, Flemming and Oram did'nt look comfortable at all.

    South Africa are even worse semi-final chokers than NZ!

    I think we got the makings of a very good side, just need some more experience in key areas - Vincent, Taylor, Fulton, Oram, McCullum, Patel are going to be very good players in the future. Styris is gun at #4. Bond, McMillan and Fleming won't be around forever so we need capable replacements. Otherwise, it's not all doom and gloom, I think the 2 best sides in the world are in the final and it should be that way. NZ are a bit short of the mark right now.

    Wow - South Africa are even bigger chokers than I gave them credit for. Just imagine if they say England's tail - I mean after 5-27 they were quite lucky to put another 122 runs.
    Here's hoping for a ripper final in which McGrath goes out in a gripping world cup win.

    Here's hoping that Malinga rips through Australia and they get thrashed with Jayawardene smashing McGrath for a massive six to win the game. Go Sri Lanka!
