    that really would be the final nail for this tournament.
    GASH?! So we lose one game badly to Oz and we're gash (er, whatever that means)?! SA would probably struggle to beat England the way they've played this whole tournament. They'll be trounced in the semi. SL vs NZ II should be a good match though - provided at least some of Bond and Oram and Styris are playing for NZ.

    I should remind all that immediately prior to the WC NZ beat Aus 3 times in a row to whitewash an annual NZ-Oz tournament (the Hadlee-Chappell trophy). Three games of cricket in a row is not a fluke. And what's more, NZ has not slumped since then - the team has beaten all in this tournament bar Sri Lanka and Australia, and that's better than any other team except Sri Lanka. The punishing loss to Oz recently looks like a hiccup, not the result of a consistent drop in performance.

    This tournament isn't over yet. Regardless of whether NZ make it or not, the worst thing for cricket would be Oz taking it out for a third straight time.

        No-one could seriously say that NZ are crap at the moment.

            Edging a couple of high run chases against half an Aussie team has got to the kiwis' heads...

              Gotta disagree with your positioning. Oz may well be that far above everyone else, but SA right up there? It was only at their win against England did they manage the top 4. When did they last trounce top teams anywhere near as much or as often as Oz has?

                I beg to differ..............

                I don't know why he saved my life. Maybe in those last moments he loved life more than he ever had before. Not just his life - anybody's life, my life. All he'd wanted were the same answers the rest of us want. Where did I come from? Where am I going? How long have I got? All I could do was sit there and watch him die.

                  They're ranked number 1 in the world ffs.

                    The ranking systems is flawed IMO - Australia (as much as it hurts to say this) is the best team in the world at the moment - not SA (again IMO)

                      I wouldn't necessarily disagree with that, but I don't think any other team would be challenging to break into the top 2. SA's performances over the past couple of years put them up there with Aus, IMO.

                      I don't think the system is necessarily flawed either. Aus lost top spot by losing two consecutive one day series, plus the last they played against SA...it's not voodoo or anything...

                        Sri Lanka perhaps?

                            Where as NZ can be the worlds best at inconsistancy!
