*Official* Quarters/Semis/Final General Discussion

tbh WI would fancy their chances against Pakistan especially if Pakistan get up on the wrong side of the bed. WI would be hoping for that

It'll be an interesting match for sure. If Roach, Gayle and Shiv play I'll be backing the Windies for a semi-final berth

Actually our bowling is more than decent and Gayle and Shiv shouldn't cause too much problems. It is actually our batting and fielding that I worry about. These two depts are worse than bad.

I am nervous tbh we should beat them but if a nutter like Gayle or Pollard have a good day then we might be toast lol now I know how other feels when their team faces Pakistan.

Same here, I'm also nervous.

Pakistan are a little too strong for West Indies. Some commentator mentioned today that the last time West Indies beat a Test team in ODIs (Bangladesh excluded) was back in 2009. West Indies have a massive problem against spinners; expect the likes of Afridi and Ajmal to run through them.

for some reason Ajmal has fallen out of favor with Afridi. The guy is not getting any chance in this WC. abdur Rehman has been decent though and Hafeez has been very good in this world cup

I am delighted to know that we will be playing Australia in the QF. We surely surely can defeat them. On the other hand, its good that SAF is playing Kiwis in the other QF. SAF firm favorites there.

With the number of lefties in the West Indies side, it might be worth playing Saeed Ajmal.

 

[smash84]

tell that to Afridi

 

[Blaze 18]

I think Afridi lost confidence in Ajmal after that over against Michael Hussey.

haha....so true.....we must give other teams some nightmares......WI are giving us some now

I think Afridi lost confidence in Ajmal after that over against Michael Hussey.

hmmm........might be

 

[Agent Nationaux]

Is Pollard going to play after that injury?

 

[qarishahg]

Is Pollard going to play after that injury?

I hope not. he could hit shoaib for a few sixes

So India to beat Australia, Sri Lanka to beat England, Pakistan to beat West Indies and South Africa to beat New Zealand is how i see it.

That would give us semis of India v Pakistan and Sri Lanka v South Africa.

Sri Lanka to win it then.

You have missed the outcomes for the semi finals and went straight to the winner of the WC

 

[qarishahg]

Its such a shame we can't have a Pakistan vs India final, will that day ever come. maybe in 2064

Just imagine a repeat of 1992 but England taking revenge on the Paksitanis, on subcontinent soil too. Ahhh that will hurt!

 

[GIMH]

I can defo see a 92 rematch in the final

 

[Lostman]

Winner of Eng/SL have a relatively easy ride into the finals imo.
Neither SA or NZ would scare anyone in a semi-final draw.

 

[Lostman]

BTW, can we get the individual match threads for all 4 QF's now?
