 What happened??? Anyone would think a 306 total should be sufficient to win a game...And yes, I know about the rain but the Kiwi's had that game in the bag from the start...I heard last night in order for us to go through we would need to win every game from now on AND WI need to do us a favour by winning Sri Lanka... My fellow forum friends (especially those from the Non-SA side)...pray for our good fortunes to go through to the next round. It would be such a tragedy if we never even get to play Aus and England...

Where can we quickly find 3 bowlers, a captain and a w/keeper in a hurry?
Do you really think we can still pull it through R/O? I think we fell into the same trap as England in the previous WC - we are hosting the WC. It seems as if that is a good start for a recipe for disaster. Please give the next WC to the Ausies to host, that will either give us a chance or it will brake the jinx on host nations!

All the praying helped, the rain gods answered!
 Now we can look forward to a interesting last couple of days, lets hope that one of our games doesn't rain out. Shri Lanka is going to be a tough cookie to crack! As for Hansie, lets hope he passed all his tricks on to Gibbs

The same rain that hampered has returned and payed us a favour. The team needs to regroup now and get their act together.

Just got this report of the WC site!
South Africa still has a chance to make Super Six stage of World Cup Keith Lane - 19 February 2003 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- South Africa has been given a lifeline after the West Indies match was washed out in Benoni as a no-result. With West Indies only securing two points from the match, South Africa has been given a further option of squeezing their way into the Super Six stage. South Africa has to win all their remaining games with a further loss sure to see them exit the tournament in round one. The scenario is also based on no further games being washed out by rain. By winning the remaining games South Africa will end on 16 points. Any loss will see 15 players and a nation into further rain dances. New Zealand, who have completed their matches against the "stronger" teams in the group are going to lose four points for their decision not to go to Kenya and should, on present form, also end on 16 points. West Indies, by winning all their remaining games will end on 18 points, which makes the game against Sri Lanka vital for them to progress to the second round. A loss against Sri Lanka will see them end on 14 points. Sri Lanka holds the key to the group. By beating West Indies and South Africa they will top the group unbeaten on 24 points. Losses to both the teams will see them also finish on 16 points. Net run-rate will then decide the two teams to progress to the second round with West Indies. The following points position are possible accepting that New Zealand will win all their remaining games. Sri Lanka wins all their games the points will be: Sri Lanka 24, New Zealand 16, West Indies 14, South Africa 12. Sri Lanka beats West Indies, loses to South Africa: Sri Lanka 20, New Zealand 16, South Africa 16, West Indies 14. Sri Lanka beats South Africa, loses to West Indies: Sri Lanka 20, West Indies 18, New Zealand 16, South Africa 12. Sri Lanka loses to South Africa and West Indies: West Indies 18, Sri Lanka 16, New Zealand 16, South Africa 16. With two of the three teams on equal points qualifying on net run-rates. For South Africa then it is imperative that they win all their remaining games well (to up their net run-rate) and that Sri Lanka beats West Indies on the 28th February at Newlands. © CricInfo Ltd Lets all pray!!

Which doesn't alter the fact that Australia will win, even though SA was probably the only real opposition (sorry any NZ people out there)

Except of course in the last world cup, where they beat Australia by five wickets. If my memory serves me correctly, the humble Shane Warne managed to score more runs than the Waugh twins combined, which proves the selectors were correct when they finally realised Steve and Mark can't bat or bowl...

How about Kenya yesterday against S/Lanka??
I only saw the highlights last night, they took some stunning catches in the field!!! Now they have an outside chance of making it through to the Super 6 round, imagine that.

The Kenyans did us a favour, but we still need to win all our games to qualify. Sri Lanka will help us thro if they beat the Windies, but then we still need to beat the Lankans.
The Aussies look awesome right now. I reckon the only team that can klap them is SA.
