Agree with this - SA's batting has been underwhelming for quite some time now.
I only watched the highlights from yesterday so probably only saw a small sample size. But other than Russell did they actually bowl that well. A lot of the wickets seemed to be caught down the leg side and Cottrells was a wide half volley? The boundaries Pakistan hit there was a lot of filth bowled. I might be being harsh here but other than the last few wickets to the tail enders from Thomas they didn't look well directed deliveries and was more Pakistan throwing them away. I hope I'm wrong as I want wi to win this tournament

Yea I messed up statsguru somehow. Completely slipped my mind he did that.
Have checked Chahal's numbers again and those are the same - 2 wickets @ 67 but decent economy. Kinda underwhelming.

Kuldeep's actually been great in England, but is coming off a poor IPL. It will be interesting to see how that effects him.
Think this would also be mine. I think Eng, Aus, NZ and Ind are most likely and probably rightfully favourites to qualify atm while Pak, WI and Ban will fall close behind and one or two might very well break into the top 4. Think Pakistan will finish above Bangladesh though tbh

England gonna crumble like a Sao in a blender. Don't like it up 'em and can't cop pressure. Never have. They were the most consistent side of the earliest WCs without winning one (because pressure) but haven't made so much as a semi final since 1992. Gone.
England gone.
Gone. Gone. Gone.

Good to see Burgey buying hard into the #Pressure meme here. Not long till he acknowledges how incredible the feats of Indian cricketers are when you take that into context.
This does seem to be shaping up to be a tournament where several teams end up at around the same amount of points, which means NRR will decide who makes it through. Reckon England still win enough games in this round-robin to make the final 4, but even if they don't, they should come out of it with a healthy NRR.

first thing that came to my mind as well.

Yeah, my feeling as well is that the semifinalists will be decided by NRR. It is going to be a very close WC with only SL and Afghans presumably not in the race right now.

Now that you all agree with me that England is gone, it seems appropriate to deal with the likely outcome of the semi finals.
WI will play India and destroy them, largely because they'll bowl above waist height and in true SC style, India will throw up all over themselves trying to play it and be all out for 140. WI will pass them in the 14th over, Gayle 138*
Australia will play NZ and it will be a closely fought encounter compared with other matches between these two countries, whcih Australia generally wins easily. In this game, NZ will bat first and post 278 - a competitive total on a sporting pitch in overcast condition. Australia will struggle early in the chase and look shaky at 2/15, but they will eventually get on top despite NZ performing above all expectations and pass the total in a comparatively nail biting 22nd over, winning by eight wickets. Warner 122*, TPC 118*.
I will keep my public waiting for the exclusive final prediction.
