Australia is fit and in full flow. How can they be beaten? Perhaps, a miracle.

'Almost' is right. Although we almost could have lived without it. :p

Re: 25 April - 2nd semi-final: Australia v South Africa

Australia will win this...

Against Sri Lanka in the finals, Sri Lankan bowling can claim a few wickets here and there but Australia wont collapse like New Zealand

I predict:

Sri Lanka will chose to bat first and score 220-260 runs...

Australia will bat next, and will make that score in about 40 overs after losing 5 wickets

Should I close the thread?

Re: 25 April - 2nd semi-final: Australia v South Africa

In all seriousness. If Pollack can find his form, game WILL go in favor of South Africa and knowing Shaun's past performancess, he always steps up when needed.

*Need I say more about the chokers than the media and the press has already stated :o ? *

Re: 25 April - 2nd semi-final: Australia v South Africa

I have a feeling this one won't be. The Aussies will thrash the chokers (with the worst bowling attack in the tournament) out of the World Cup comprehensively this time around.
