    Phew, form book ftw !!!

    Windies been horrific.

    I understand your concerns about the Indian bowling, but I raise you a poor, un-inspired 1 dimensional Austalian batting line up. 

    Ponting may well get 100 off 110 balls, Clarke 65 off 80, Watson 40 off 40, Haddin 20 off 30, whatever, but I think that's the best they can possibly do, there's just no fire power, other than Watson, who struggles alot of the time to go past 50.

    I think you could give Australia 300 (the best I feel they could possibly hope for) and India will still be odds on to chase it down.

    Harbajan/Youvraj in the middle and Zaheer at the death will be enough to strangle/squeeze the Aussie middle order - my money is safe with the Indians. 

    SA shud have too much for NZ.

    Pakistan shud knock these off no problem

    So it's already all on england to let me down!!!!!   ;)

    Ok il flat your raise in position, with the fact in a couple of a games the Indians batting has collapsed at the end of the inings when batting first:

    267-1 to 296 all out v S.Africa.
    218-3 to 268 all out v W.Indies.

    The way I see it, is if India bat first then Australia have a great chance of winning, especially if Lee and co can nick out Sehwag and Tendulkar early.

    Lets see what the flop brings!

    Few twists and turns to come, but think I'm looking good for 2/2

    It would have been interesting to see India bat first though.

    Wow!!!

    South Africa are cholking again!!!

    No good for my bet, but if England manage a miracle tomorrow, we play New Zealand for a place in the final, which is v v v v winnable !!!!!

    Still, hope SA can dig in here....   :(

    Well I don't Adam n Eve it.

    SA done it again. 

    I know alot of people backed them, sooooooooooo disappointing. 

    England at 8/1 my last bet remaining to save my world cup!!!! Be ironic if my only winning bet is the one I placed with my heart rather than my head. 

    Tahir 4th top wicket taker, having missed 2 games is abit of consolation mind, just abit unlucky in running with the injuries :(

    Tomorrow cud be v  miserable if England under-perform on top of my hangover. Need to win some money tonight to make sure it's not a hat-trick of feeling cr appy !!!!!

    wtf is that guy doing batting at 3 for England. Seriously.

    I've never seen a batsman so in-capable of hitting the ball to the boundary.

    He just can't get it off the square.

    If he's gonna play to hold the innings together, fine, bt when we're 160-3 off 40 overs he shud retire hurt, and let somebody else come in and actually try to hit the ball.

    Whatever happened to accellerating through an innings? If anything he slows down towards the end.

    Lets hope we can sqeeze, Dilshan out early please  :)

    That 9/2 for Sri Lanka at the start of the tournament looks a huge price now. They never really looked in trouble against New Zealand.

    What a brilliant innings this has been from Mahela. Full of class.

    Trott could learn alot, came in with his side in abit of trouble, knocked it around at a run a ball for 10 overs, then accellerated through the innings to reach 100 off 80 balls.

    This has been quality. On the big stage too.

    Awareness of the situation, and ability to adapt to it. 

    I don't think it will be enough though, due to the power of the Indian batting line up, but it's definitely game on!!!!!!!!

    Watch out for Malinga the Slinga! Key man.

    Dude, you've really got to get over Trott, he's the best we've got! We've been crying out for decades for a consistent no.3 who can provide stability to the team, but he's never gonna play like a Jayawardene.

    He's our Kallis/Dravid and long may he continue like them. It's up2the rest to up their game and make us a more formidable/complete batting line-up.

    Great world cup, congrats to India on becoming the 1st hosts to win it. Think the organisers got a bit lucky though that Eng managed to make the 1st round so interesting - format def needs improving.
