It’s not but should be. It’s just not cricket

India vs South Africa at the Toilet Bowl:
South Africa win the toss and will bat first:
Ind: Rohit, Dhawan, Kohli, Rahul, Dhoni, Jadhav, Hardik, Bhuvneshwar, Kuldeep, Chahal, Bumrah
SA: De Kock, Amla, Du Plessis, Van der Dussen, Miller, Duminy, Phehlukwayo, Morris, Rabada, Tahir, Shamsi
India's first game of tournament; SA have lost first two matches, surely a must win?

Phew! New Zealand win by two wickets.
This was always going to be a difficult game. Bangladesh have improved hugely and won their opening game against South Africa. I've got a large wager on the Kiwi's to win the World Cup.

Maybe. The problem with NZ is they have one absolute star batsman, two good ones and some so-so players. They've also got one very good bowler and some decent ones - but there's nothing earth shattering. Compare that to England who have got match winners all over or Australia, ditto. I think they may well make semis but I wouldn't call them certain

Windies v Aussies at Trent Bridge, small boundaries so will Gale go mental with the bat ?
We've had the odd struggle in Bangladesh but have usually rolled them over at home. They're a much tougher outfit now. I think we'll still win but I can't see it being a walkover
Before the World Cup started, I was thinking England, India, Australia as the three most likely to make the semis (in that order), plus probably New Zealand or South Africa. SAf are now gone barring a miracle, so most likely NZ fills that remaining semi slot.
Outsiders: West Indies, Pakistan. Both have the capability to win matches against anyone, but both also have the capability to be complete rubbish. Then Bangladesh - they're a very improved team and, on their day, can win a game against anyone. Question is, are they able to play through the pressure of winning the tight games often enough (evidence from yesterday is maybe not, but we'll see).
