Picking yourself up after a loss (especially against Aus) and going on to win the Cup is a measure of a sides mettle so ya losing a match but winning the cup still means you're the best (my opinion anyway).
 
ok...

It sounds better winning a WC and not losing a game...
Are we still ahead on the points ladder(number 1 team in the world:confused: )
 
If Aus win their next match they might jump into 1st place on the ranking. Not sure how it works exactly yet. Cutoff date is 1 April, whoever is 1st on that date will get the prizemoney etc from the ICC.
 
and if we win all our games?
Can aus overtake us?

If we win all our remaining games then we are the WC Champions and who cares if they are ranked no 1, we can always get later.:D

BTW, anyone here think that West Indies can cuase an upset against AUS?
That would make our job a lot easier. And onother thing that is cuase for concern is that there 2 spinners in the top wicket takers so far in the WC.

Aus will be on top, they have two games before 1st April... :mad:
against WI and Bang...:o
SA only have one before april, against SL...:(
 
West indies are looking good...
hopefully they can cause an upset against aus...
chanderpaul is striking form at a bad time...:(
 
i think kallis need to be replaced by the spinning peterson

i wonder if kallis is involved in this whole match fixing

needing 7.5 runs an over and batting that slow doesnt seem right to me
 
Bangladesh are the Giant killers in this world cup - we can pray for a miracle against Oz :)
We don't want anyone to beat Aus, at least not in the Super 8 round. Aus are almost guaranteed a place so rather have them beat a bunch of guys to stop them qualifying. We need NZ, Aus, WI to beat all of the other teams and then for us to beat them and the other teams. I would prefer SL not to be in the final 4, they are a strong side. Much more consistant then WI. I can see us beating NZ, WI and Aus on our day but SL have those little dibly dobler spinners and just keep in your face. WI, however, have always been out World Cup boogy side.

nah... he doesn't need match fixing.... he works hard on the field for his money...
plus he has a gazillion other endorsement...
Sanex:sick: etc etc
 
yep, he played selfish....
but he is our best batsmen...?
We actually need better bowlers, Pollock took a bit of a beating...;)
 
Exactly......
And Kallis has got the skill to lift his strike rate....:)
I'm afraid he doesn't. Kallis is made for tests - not the modern ODI game.

The introduction of the Pro20 game put an end to the old way of playing an ODI, and players like Kallis cannot come to grips with that.
