The way theyve been playing in the earlier stages you'd expect it would be Pakistan that would have to beat aus. And while SL are very, very good, must wins against Australia isn't exactly what SL would have been hoping for.

Murali a factor in this, imagine where SL would be sitting if he was playing.

Quite a comfortable seat I would imagine.

I am sure he has a very comfortable seat in his house watching all this in SL.

Pakistan look like they will top Group F (as I cannot see them losing to Bangladesh) and NZ look set to Top Group E.

So it would seem Semifinal 1 - South Africa (E2) v Pakistan (F1) and Semifinal 2 - NZ (E1) v Australia (F2) .

If NZ go down to SA today most probabaly SA will top the group

Australia could still lose to Sri Lanka. Its not impossible.

I'm not too sure, but yeah definitely not if they end up having to play Pakistan in the semi-final.

We should stop talking so much of it because it may lead to "apshagun" (bad omen)

BTW, Sachin has played against Pakistan in each of his first four world cups (both Pakistan and India conspired to deny him a fifth clash) in four different continents, with three differnt opening partners on the three times that he opened, at an average of 76.00 !!

But this is a 20 WC and not the 50 over format !! As such history is limited to days and not years.

India took more than 50 years to win a test series in Pak (don't even know if they won a single test in Pak before) yet one day things changed.

Thats absolutely true my dear. (Its actually 49 years but thats not relevant).

And yes we hadn't even won a test match in Pakistan in all these years.

Good rejoinder

hope fully it will take PAK 50 years to beat us in any format of WORLD CUP


but one thing i have to say, for the first time since i have started watching cricket i would like pak to win a tournament if india cannot.

I am soooooooooo rooting for India to make it to the Semis so they can face Pakistan again. We need to avenge that loss through that dire bowl-out!
