    I made a 'crazy' prediction that PAK 'might' win this world cup a while ago, it doesn't look THAT bad now.. let's see how far they can get. As I said, plain crazy. :)
    By the looks of it so far, doesn't look like we will stand a chance unless we play on spin wickets, and also score a 350 min target.

    babai... SA vs Eng semis that you've predicted.. it would be very wild to say that Eng would win it.. See the attack of SA and then predict.. no chance for the English to defeat SA..

    @Mani: Let's then wait for Ind vs SA.

    @vishnu::D....One more thin I just didn't wanna jinx by predicting the outcome of Ind matches. And if my stats are correct, Ind has never lost to Pak in WC

    @Ajay: that's the point where i guessed the 'chokers' would choke.These are not the winners am predicting based on which team is strong on 'paper'.Just the gut feeling and the teams strengths,i went on.

    @Vem: Even on paper also England is weakest team among top eight teams on Indian Subcontinent(Spin Factor). Don't consider the result of India vs England Bangalore match. On that day pitch was behaved differently.

    My PREDICTION:
    QF's
    Ind vs NZ Ind
    SA vs Aus SA
    Eng vs SL SL
    WI vs Pak Pak

    Semis
    Ind vs SL N/A
    SA vs Pak Pak

    Finals
    Pak vs x x
