I think it's for all intents and purposes impossible. It's just too much of a difference. India would need to score like 400 and WI 0.

Yeah, sorry, thought OZ had a superior net run rate...Uh no. Sri Lanka are facing England if India wins. India will be playing against Australia.

My predictions:
Quarters
PAK beats Windies
S/L beats ENG
IND beats AUS
SA beats NZ
Semis
S/L beats PAK
SA beats IND
Final
SA beats S/L ... obviously

I am under correction here but I think you have it wrong. From the quarter final winners it is not winner 1 v winner 2 but rather winner 1 v winner 3 and winner 2 v winner 4.
And therefor it should look like this:
Semis:
Ind v Pak
SL v SA
I recon that means India will be in the final. And I am sorry to say guys but I can't see us winning against SL in SL not with Mendis, Murali, Malinga, Sangakara and Dilshan. This is of course all assuming Ind beats WI. Should Gayle be on form and WI wins then it is a completely different look. That means Aus v WI in the one quarter and SL v Ind in the other. That would be the best possible result for us actually. That would mean Aus will beat WI and I feel Ind can beat SL which will make it Ind v SA and Aus v Pak in the semis. Then it is a toss up I feel SA V Aus/Pak for the final.
But what ever happens people just shouldn't call them chokers should we again fall out in the semis. They have played excellent cricket this time round. Even NZ is not going to be a walk over.

I also understand it as such.
If India beat West Indies then:
Q1 = A1 (Pakistan) v B4 (West Indies)
Q2 = A2 (Sri Lanka) v B3 (England)
Q3 = A3 (Australia) v B2 (India)
Q4 = A4 (New Zealand) v B1 (South Africa)
If West Indies beat India then:
Q1 = A1 (Pakistan) v B4 (England)
Q2 = A2 (Sri Lanka) v B3 (India)
Q3 = A3 (Australia) v B2 (West Indies)
Q4 = A4 (New Zealand) v B1 (South Africa)
SF1 = Q1 (Pakistan/West Indies/England)) v Q3 (Australia/India/West Indies)
SF2 = Q2 (Sri Lanka/England/India) v Q4 (New Zealand/South Africa)

Thanks for the clarification guys.
If we do play S/L in Sri Lanka, It is gonna be tough, but I think we will do it.
That mean we would play AUS in the final. It is gonna be EPIC!

De Silva and Harper are the worst umpires at the W.C.
Some horrible decision making been made. Dharmasena is having a much better WC

From now on it's going to be the team that strings together 3 good games that takes the cup.

I don't consider oz one of the top teams. Quite the contrary their current form has been nothing short of horrendous.
Pakis did however smack Sri Lanka and that is very impressive. They are definitely contenders seeing as they have avoided sa in the quarters. They should have way to much for the west indies.
Pakistan more than likely will meet india in the semis. Interesting game that will be. India always bring out the best in Pakistan and the pressure to perform on india at home is just immense. I see them choking at this hurdle so yeah SA vs Pakistan final is not impossible.

... Or not.
Paki's blow hot and cold. Everybody seems to forget the thrashing they got against NZ.
SA and SL seem to have been the most impressive.

Eish i had a nightmare that kallis and duminy were plodding singles when the run rate was 12.
