Who will be the WC finalists and semifinalists?

[maniac]

3-2 is easy now??? You beat a 2nd string Pakistan side 3-2 in home conditions If Amir+Butt+Asif+YK was playing then i can tell you it would be 5-0 to Pak Edit: Umpires You paid the umpires yet you still only won 3-2

What was Butt's average in the test series against Eng??? Asif is useless in ODI's.So technically missing one player chal in your case 2 players makes you a 2nd string side???? You have some high opinions on your team buddy.

Final India vs SL semi : india SL , SA , Eng auusie gonna gets eliminated in Quater final , their team is quite over -rated : you can't remplace Warne , Gilchrist , Hayden , Mcgrat , Symonds

[vvvslaxman]

So many people under-estimating Pakistan When you have players like Afridi,Razzaq,Umar Akmal,Kamran Akmal and match winners like Shoaib Akhtar and Umar Gul in your side They can lose to any side in the world on their day

correction

I dont c england even making it to quarterfinals, on these sub continental conditions. Their pacers wont be of much use here, and they dont have any big hitter or match winning batsmen.......even Zimb has batsmen that can really take games away....I dont c the kiewsetters, cooks, collingwoods and trotts being able to do that

Butt is a ODI player and he is 1st choice and he performed amazing vs Aus in tests and without captaincy he would of done better with the bat. Asif in English conditions is lethal so he would of been picked/Akhtar rested Amir is sensational and Strauss would of been ripped to shreds by him ala Test series

[Bradman99]

Without knowing the draw or whatever.. The 4 teams I would expect in the semis are SA,Ind,Aus and Eng/Sri

[ringo16]

There is all some dramatic losses, and NZ usually make the semis! Aus-NZ-India-Sri Lanka.

[Sachin=GOD]

India, South Africa, England, Sri Lanka for the semi finals. India and Sri Lanka for the final.

[gult]

India, SA, Pak and Aus

this is the exact reason why noone rates pakistan my 4 SF - India , ENg, Aus , SL with Eng vs SL/Ind final

[jibranpatel15]

WC 2011 is more dependent on luck of a team rather than better team. What i mean is only 1 player can take a team to semi on his day and likewise some other player from that team into Final and some other can win for a team as after group stages its quarter final time like: Ranks after group stages Group A: 1. Sri Lanka 2. Australia 3. Pakistan 4. NZ Group B: 1.India 2.SA 3.England 4.WI/Ban So quarter finals will be (from above positions) like this: QF-1 SRI VS WI/BAN QF-2 AUS VS ENG QF-3 PAK VS SA QF-4 NZ VS IND IF what i think that team wins the semis will be as: SF-1 SRI VS IND SF-2 ENG VS SA And Final will be I think: SA VS SL HOPEFULLY SOUTH AFRICA WILL BE WORLD CHAMPIONS GO WIN IT SOUTH AFRICA GO

you will love my thread on worldcup format

[Sachinism]

Semi: Ind, SA, SL, Eng Final: SL vs Eng

[Cricket lover]

Good poll. My opinion Semi Finalists: Ind, Eng, S.L, Pak Finalists: S.L, Ind

[philcric]

*** Bold prediction alert *** Ind, Pak, SL & Ban in Semis. I really think its possible for all 4 asian teams to reach semis ('coz of the conditions and also the form of the teams). I'm pretty sure WI,NZ,Eng don't have a decent chance. SA, Aus have good teams but not ideal for sub-con,, i feel they'll be knocked out in the quarters.

[thongale]

Semis: ENG, SAF, SL, IND Finals: ENG vs SL

[spectre]

SL is a very strong contender. But this WC is more of a lottery, whichever team plays best in 3 consecutive knockout matches will lift the cup. In the present moment, no team is so consistent, I want the curators to make spinning tracks so that we have an advantage as our batsman should handle it well

[girishk14]

IMO, regardless of other teams, SL and IND are confirmed semi finalists. Both plays most of their matches at home, and are ususally unbeaten at home.
