The Seedings seem like a joke to me…SA seeded 5th!!!
BBC SPORT | Cricket | Cricket World Cup form guide
Australia: Seeded: 1 World ranking: 2
SriLanka: Seeded: 2 World ranking: 6
NewZealand: Seeded: 3 World ranking: 3
Pakistan: Seeded: 4 World Ranking: 4
South Africa: Seeded: 5 World Ranking:1
West Indies: Seeded: 6 World ranking: 8
England: Seeded: 7 World Ranking: 7
India: Seeded: 8 World Ranking: 5

***PAKISTAN :jhanda: ***
Seeded: 4 World ranking: 4
Captain: Inzamam-ul-Haq

Pakistan are suffering a slump in form having won just two of their last five one-day internationals.
Inzamam-ul-Haq’s side lost the recent series 3-1 in South Africa and will have to look back to the 3-1 home victory over West Indies at the end of 2006 for inspiration.

And the 1992 world champions could be further hampered if pace bowler Shoaib Akhtar fails to recover from a knee injury which is threatening to rule him out of the start of the World Cup.

Man England seeded above India...ths ridiculous...even if they won the series in Aus..thts just a flash in the pan coz of the brilliance of just one player--Collingwood...the kind of performances they have been giving before tht--even the minnows will believe they got some sort of a chance against England!

As for me the ranking looks a lil better like this:

Australia:
South Africa:
SriLanka:
NewZealand: / West Indies:
Pakistan: / India:
England:

A couple of the teams as per me stand pretty much the same chance of winning...

No they were n't. If you read carefully it does mention NZ's recent whitewash of Australia and SA's 3-1 win over Pakistan.
