Aus, NZ, Saf - pretty sure
and probably India.
and probably India.
South Africa doesn't wait till final to choke historically.Australia, South Africa, Pakistan and India. South Africa and Australia to meet in the final. South Africa choke again and Australia win again in a thriller. Mitchell Johnson to hit the winning runs.
The only world cup to feature a super 8 was 2007. The two WCs prior had super 6 rounds. The only teams to feature in all three of those super stages were Australia and New Zealand. Zimbabwe made the super stage more often than England. So no, it's not traditional for those teams to feature.Its been a tradition now that England, West Indies, Pakistan, India, Sri Lanka, Australia and South Africa are always in the super 8. The real fun begins in super 8.
New Zealand has a better reputation for making the semis, and this time they have a better team and home advantage.Sri Lanka always make the semis.
Whilst true the main reason Zimbabwe progressed in 2003 was because England forfeited their game in Zimbabwe on political grounds.The only world cup to feature a super 8 was 2007.

Not sure we can use the words 'dark-horse' for NZ anymore tbh since just about everyone is rating them in the top 4, including betting agenciesNew Zealand has a better reputation for making the semis, and this time they have a better team and home advantage.
NZ are the dark horses really.
No Dwayne Bravo, Kieron Pollard for World Cup: Ramnarine | Cricket News | ICC Cricket World Cup 2015 | ESPN CricinfoI've gone for the Windies, so long as they've got their strongest team on the park I still think they're a world class ODI team.
NZ and Australia, home conditions, strong squads, should do well.
South Africa, self explanatory.
real shame for the fans who may miss out onthe success of their team due to in fighting and politics..No Dwayne Bravo, Kieron Pollard for World Cup: Ramnarine | Cricket News | ICC Cricket World Cup 2015 | ESPN Cricinfo
So, no, they won't have their strongest team. Which is a real shame.
If Narine plays it is.Is the Windies bowling good enough anyway?
