True, but IF SA loses to NZ and then again to ENG, Eng will/might go through.

Yesterday? I would have said the same.

We need to bowl teams out though.

Even if SA beats NZ and then loses to ENG we will be out. If ENG beat IRE and BANG then regardless of what happens in the SA-NZ game, the winner of ENG-SA goes into the semis. If ENG beat us and we beat NZ, then we will both have 8 points and ENG will go through on RR. If ENG beat us and we lose to NZ, then ENG will go through because they have 8 points and we have 6. If we beat ENG, we will either have 8 or 10 points (NZ loss/win) and ENG will only have 6 points so RR is not part of the equation. Then only way RR might be involved is if SL lose the rest of their games badly or at least the ones to NZ and AUS. Then they will have 6/8 points and can be overhauled on RR. But they would need to lose really badly.

SA needs a fast bowler, 150km+ type of bowler to finish of the tail.

Thats where OZ would of been looking fantastic for this WC, except Lee got injured. But instead we have Tait who does 150km - pity lee wasnt there as well.

I love all these permeatations you guys are doing... its quite funny.

It just shows you lots can still happen.

Anyways, I'm hoping for a final that consists of OZ, and either NZ, or SA. Not to concerned with SL.... perhaps i shouldnt of said that - might come back to haunt me.
 
England made a bit of a balls up in this match.

So much for bettering their NRR.

Yip, took a 26 run partnership for the 7th wicket to start to get them right. It's better for SA as it puts the SA result solely on the ENG game instead of needing 2 out of 2 wins on the off chance that Bang win the rest of their games. What would be really nice for SA is a draw :)
