Remember in '92 World Cup when Marsh nicked Donald only for the umpire to give not out,so with the Aussies nothings changed.
These reviews will bring the Aussies down no doubt.
 
So the side batting 1st predominantly wins here in Colombo. Must remember that for if we play here in the quarters. The toughest play of the match could be the toss...

1st ball of the game too wasn't it???
 
About SA, The Lopsy/Morkel decision is a tough one, but with our next game being played at this stadium I'd give it to Lopsy. He's shown he knows how to bowl here.
Our bowling depth really is fantastic, bowled out every team we've faced so far. :cool:
 
This is the SA team I would like to see in the Quaterfinal.

Graeme Smith
Hashim Amla
Jacques Kallis
AB de Villiers (WK)
JP Duminy
Faf Du Plessis
Johan Botha
Robin Pieterson
Dale Steyn
Lonwabo Tsotsobe
Imran Tahir

Your team is spin heavy and lacking some batting depth,and with DeV recovering from injury it might not be a good idea to restart him as a wk-so for me Van wyk comes in for Botha.

Van Wyk in for Botha for me. That's not balanced enough imo and lacks batting depth. 7's Too high for Botha. Kallis and JP can do a good enough job as the 5th bowler, even Faf can chip in with some overs if we need.

Its not a tough one, definatey Lopsy because Morkel relies on pace and bounce so that track wont suit Morkel
at all while Lopsy has more variations and has shown it today so definately Lopsy.

You are wrong because the new rule came out for the Quaterfinals and Semi Finals that the Host nations will play
in there homeground so meaning Sri Lanka will play at colombo and SA will play at the Bangladesh Stadium.

How do they know who would get through so how can they plan for it? Surely it is not an easy thing to change stadiums at the drop of a hat.

They are co hosting the event so i wonder how you plan ahead during the comp.
