South africa is known for this--loosing in big occasions specially in world cup matches.

And I HATE them for that. They did so well on the bowling and fielding side of the game, curbing England into a low score. Then Graham Smith (I hate his guts) had to park down in his batting session as if we were playing a 5 day game. All of a sudden all our batsmen went down the drain, costing us the game!

I agree with you you Das, they seem to go into this "easy-rider" style of "Hey, we won our previous game easily, lets lay back on this one as well", costing us points. I wish they can grow up and become a real international team!

We'll have to see what's going to happen with the rest of the cup.

Well done to all the other teams that pulled of a win, India had a nice and easy one, poor Sri Lanka...

Prediction:

Pakistan is going to lose to NZ this evening.

and the Prediction is bang on target.

Which helps a few other teams to still get a chance.:)

I don't see any of the lesser known teams qualifying for the knock out stage.

Nah, doubt it as well. England was almost on their way home, but thanks to S.A.'s "wonderfull" playing skills, they have a good chance to get there.

I think its going to get interesting from here on. India is obviously doing very well, but they also had a tie against England, so who knows.

Today it is the clash of top and bottom of group B.

All my prayers are with Brazil and I am sure they will win. :D

I think Sri Lanka can be won......

Top remains at the top and bottom still at the bottom.

Today Sri Lanka is going to ensure a Quarter Final berth.

Pakistan Should win. It have just lost one match so far and i hope that it wins all the matches ahead !! Pak Rocks !!

That remains to be seen, although I also think that the Paks have a better chance.;)

I'm a South African, and although we are not the suggested favorites (as was the case in 2003 and 2007), I am sure that we will be able to pull it off. We are playing a first ever three spin bowlers which paid of recently against India.:)

My predictions -

1.South Africa
2.Sri Lanka
3.Australia
4.India
5.Pakistan
6.England
7.West Indies (We are playing them on Thursday!)
8.Bangladesh
9.New Zealand
10.Zimbabwe
11.Ireland
12. Netherlands
13.Canada
14.Kenya

So long List,

but it's very simple...

Sri lanka/S.A/Australia(My first prediction)/England/India(hopefully)
alas, i am indian :D

That remains to be seen, although I also think that the Paks have a better chance.;)

I also think that the Paks have a better chance.<<Bleah!!

Pakistan Should win. It have just lost one match so far and i hope that it wins all the matches ahead !! Pak Rocks !!

Pakistan Should win.

We thinking same way, since from 1985 (i mean my birth), but pak never won right, thank god, india won for atleast once :P

Your predictions is not bad, although I think you messed up with Sri Lanka in first place. I doubt it... ;)

Only England could have lost from here.

I HAVE to brag. I thought S.A. is loosing against India, especially with Graham Smith and Jaques Kallis on a 5 day series batting streak again. Then our bottom batsmen came through and won the game with 1 ball to spare, 3 wickets in hand. WELL DON SOUTH AFRICA!!!:):):)

India played a very good game as well, so well done.

Most of the knock out berths are booked now.

Bangladesh wins yet another match.

Hold on your predictions at least for next couple of days.

I agree. I think we might just see some fireworks in the mix....

My wish Sri Lanka will be won..
Bcz there are good team with good confident....

By the way i don't like to heard Australia will won this again.....

My wish Sri Lanka will be won.:icon_lol:.
Bcz there are good team with good confident....

By the way i don't like to heard Australia will won this again.....:ooh:

@Kenpark1, you have made the best bet so far, South Africa stands a good chance, IF they start playing properly from the Top batsmen down.;)

this time it is sub-continental wicket.

be prepared to see some big heads rolling.

I bet on England too

England ?

Thea are not assured of a QF berth as of yet.

Nope, as far as I know they must still play 2 games, same as S.A. to get through to the QF's.
