So it looks like:
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)
SF1 = Q1 (Pakistan/West Indies) v Q3 (Australia/India)
SF2 = Q2 (Sri Lanka/England) v Q4 (New Zealand/South Africa)
Final: Australia v South Africa
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)
SF1 = Q1 (Pakistan/West Indies) v Q3 (Australia/India)
SF2 = Q2 (Sri Lanka/England) v Q4 (New Zealand/South Africa)
Final: Australia v South Africa
Thanks, McD. Some epic clashes coming up. Aussies up against the Indians doesn't get much bigger. And don't be surprised to see Windies pull out their A-game against the Pakis ... besides it would be the perfect platform for the Pakis to throw the game

My wish winners of QF's= West Indies, India, SA (of course), England. And then SA wallop England in SF2 and India do the same to WI. Then SA take the cup. Probably wont be like that though. Just hoping for a little more variety instead of always Australia, Pakistan, Sri Lanka. But probably the bigger sides will win through as usual.
The money is on the Pakis to win, yes? So then it's the perfect time to make oodles of cash, yes? Follow the money. It's the perfect time to throw the game... mark my words

Schedule was changed so that host nations get to play in home countries.
The schedules for the stadiums are obviously fixed, so they juggled the teams around to suit.
India will play their remaining knock-out games in India, and SL will play in Sri Lanka.

That is what happened I think, except that now they also screwed that up as well. Because should we beat NZ instead of facing SL we will probably face Pakistan. With India playing against SL and that match will have to be in India.
I would however love it if all the sub-continent teams gets knocked out in the Quarters. There is a real chance of at least one of them going home. Australia although not the team the were can still put in a performance every now and then, and it only takes one to knock India out. And somehow England seem to scrape through every time they are about to go home, will this be the same or will SL finally hammer in that final nail. Then we just need an inspired performance by WI and Pakistan is out as well. A man can only dream hey

I hope India beat the Aussies. India we can take in a final - Australia are just too good when it counts.

Nope, the layout of who plays who wont change, only venues. So we will play the winner of SL & Eng in the semi. We would now be in the first semi final because that one is scheduled for Colombo (should either India or SL win a quarter, they might change the matches around if they both lose), so the 2nd semi finalists get a longer break

India vs Pakistan SF Possability that will be awesome great rivalaries , the same with SA vs England SF Possability. Dream Final SA vs Ind both teams deserve it. I will pray for rain and they can share the worldcup.

In these conditions I rather play aus then india again. We can beat india but will be much harder then aus. These condition suit spin and aus are really lacking there and their batsmen struggle against spin as we showed the last 2 odi series we beat them in and the warmup game.
