England don't have enough batsmen who can accelerate.Only Morgan and Buttler can do it so lot will depend on them Aus conditions don't really favour swing but still Broad and Finn should like the bounce It all depends on their team composition
Anderson might do a Bhuvi,because the ball does swing initially in Aus...traditionally likes of Mcdermott,Hilfenhaus,Paul Reiffel were all Anderson type bowlers who had some amount of success...I think in Broad,Anderson,Finn,Jordan and that other allrounder who played against us-they have a decent bowling....Moeen Ali I don't know what he has but is doing well and is a decent A/R. Cook might be useful batsman in those conditions,Morgan,Hales,Butler-3 good hitters. I am not saying they are favs but they will do well especially in Aus conditions

U are over thinking too much SA choke at the first KO they play .Its just that world cups had different formats As for 2003 it was at home so they choked too much and dumped themselves out in group stages itself.Same happened in 2007 T20 world cup as well
both these games had become knockouts effectively IIRC

Going by how pathetic England were at home vs India' date=' I wouldn't put my money on them[/quote'] As I said they might be a surprise package in Aus condition....they were pretty dominant at home in ODI's the previous couple of years...they will definetely not be as clueless as they usually are in the S.C

Yes I very much doubt Amla and ABD as good as a players they are,their mental toughness. Faf is the only clutch player they have and might spring a surprise

Miller is another IPL bully :giggle: just like Gayle' date='Maxwell,Yusuf etc[/quote'] did well in CT semi when everyone including Faf flopped,scored 23 off 12 not out in T20 WC semi big match playa :agree:

Rayudu is like Siddhu...you admire his grit and determination against fast bowlers and is destructive against spinners no matter what their reputation is.....most exciting player to watch against spin :agree:

They alternate between choking in the QF (or Super Six) and SF... Going by the trend, this year they will choke in the Semis :giggle: S.A. Choking history in WC 1996 - QF (against WI) 1999 - SF (against Aus) 2003 - Super Six (against SL) 2007 - SF (against Aus) 2011 - QF (against NZ) 2015 - SF (against ??) :hysterical:
RSA are the run-away winners this time. Please take it to the bank. India and Aus are next in line. NZ and SL the dark horses !
