Prudence says its Super 6

It’s just a matter of six teams aint it? Or could Whatmore be right?? Are there more Indias and Paks left to be conquered?? Let’s analyse which teams are beatable by the minnows!!

The ones that carry points:

Australia – Too damn difficult…. Current form is not bad at all, the past has always been glorious, and on paper stronger than the minnows by more times that I can count with my fingers. Remember, they have 2 points. A sure shot semi birth

Sri Lanka – Quite difficult … Current form is quite good, they are a charged up lot as always, Vaas and Murali could be too difficult a proposition to handle

New Zealand – Quite difficult too…. One of the teams I think that have it in them to beat the Aussies. They have done it in the recent past and am sure they might be able to do it again… Lou not playing may not be too big an impact IMO. More or less secure semi birth since they carry 2 points!

Windies – Been a good few months leading up to the WC. They’ve won all 3 matches and they beat the Pakis without a blink… The morale must be high and playing on home turf could be an intangible advantage. But with these guys u never know what can snap

The ones that don’t carry a point:

South Africa – The only reason they don’t have points is coz they were in the same group as Australia. This is the only other team that have the potential to beat Australia… I’m tipping they’ll be one of the 4 semis team

England – They are playing cricket the way they know to, and that’s probably not good enough. A potential candidate to be knocked out of the semis.

My take on who can be the semi contenders Aussies is a given more or less, NZ have the point advantage, SA stand a good chance, and its difficult to pick between Windies and Lanka!! This is considering the teams play the same way they have been and they don’t pull their skeletons out

Now that the games start in less than 6 hours time, we will know soon as to how the Phase 2 turns out.
