This half of the draw is shaping up for an exciting climax, will come down to bmt and self belief.

I believe that the days of one team or nation dominating the sporting arena are over!!!....it is absolutely great for any mode of sport to be quite unpredictable and opens a window of opportunity for the unsung heroes to shine.

I am going for Sri Lanka to bring home the bacon though in this years challenge and it will take a good side to beat them.

SK England just beat them?:S:D

Not necessarily boet.

I gaurentee u, if Eiown Morgan hadn't made 55 and supprted hales, England wouldn't have chased the score down. Hales wouldn't have even made his 100 as toomuch pressure wouldve been on him. Take away Morgans supprt innings and England fall 20runs short. Ravi Bopara's 2 fours in a row of Malinga was also very,very important.

You need a bowler and a batsmen to excel to put ut team in a winning position,yes, but support is vital. Look at Proteas Yday, Steyn n Imran bowled Excellently, but Lonwabo almost lost the match as he got creamed. Support is extremely important

Sheza I have seen games with the minows making 170 and 1 player scoring 110 of those runs and winning the game. In this format 1 player is all you need to win the game. Yes Morgan did well yesterday BUT I wasn't talking about yesterdays game I was talking generally in this format. If one batsmen scores a hundred and one bowler takes a 5 for you can win a game with avarage performances from the rest.

i think the Eng vs SA game is the crunch game for us and will decide who goes thorugh to the semis

True. But u would also need2 hope dt hales not playing for the opposition.lol

My point was merely dt as much as u need 1star 2mk a high score or tk 5wickets, u need support as well. Tk da IPL match a few seasons back, where Mumbai made around 185+ and Rajastan royals chased wi Yusuf pathan mking 100, but no support n they fell short. I still rather have 2 batsmmen mking 50 n da rest scoring at a strike rate of 140± tk total 2 190. Than 1 guy mking 100 at 110sr and team mking 160

Looking at the demeanour and body language,it's hard to believe this is the same Chris Gayle as the other day...........very motivated today!

Should have carried on the same after the wicket fell. Went into his shell and ultimately cost him his wicket.

Well played captain Sammy. -D

Pre tournament favorites look like they could be making an early exit.

Faf is suspended for his next game, because of slow over rate.

My boys are looking good for the cup:)-D
