Yeah, although after SA's recent loss, India would have to lose to both Ireland AND Zim, after which it would come down to NRR to even come second in the group, so its extremely unlikely we don't finish top.
Highly unlikely, unless you're talking finals. QF is a definite no. Semis as well because if we win our QF game, then we play the winner of A3 v B2, and it'll take a few miracles for them to catch up with that South African net run rate assuming they do beat Ireland.
Nah. Pakistan are mentally shot against India in the WC. Just win the toss, bat first, and the game is in the bag for you folks.
Aus haven't won an ICC event since 2007 ftr.
True but I was taking their overall ODI history (not counting T20 here. They just suck at T20).
2009 Champions trophy actually, but yeah they've been pretty ordinary for a team that use to pride themselves on dominating tournaments.
Wasn't the Martyn-Pawar CT the 2006 one?
That's right but they also won in 2009, remember the lame white doctor jackets? lol.
Nah, I mean the players should be thinking about beating the best, but in reality, any one of four or five teams can easily string together a three team winning streak, and all of those teams can have a bad day and lose. Having an easier path definitely matters. It's much easier to pull out a victory when not at your best against a Bangladesh compared to an Australia. And then you only have to worry about putting together a two game winning streak.
How did I blank that out??
god, I remember being up until like 5 watching that only to have Jeets put into the stands by twatto like three times in a row to end it
