1st QF... Who you say and why...
I say SL. Better all round team. SA is a 1 man team thus far. Only AB has performed for them in the big matches. While Sanga has 4 tons, he has help from other players.
Should be a good game, but SL I say.

I want RSA to win, but SL start as slight favorites here I think. Especially with the match being played in traditionally spin-friendly Sydney. If Herath is out, then I fancy RSA more.
SL
If it were any regular triangular or quadrangular series we'd give them a big hiding but hence this is the WC we'll piss it away as usual.
SL. They have been consistent with different players chipping in at different times. jaya has not showed up as yet and he has a knack for the crunch times. Plus Sanga, Dilshan, Matthews, Kulesakara and Malinga. A well balanced side when all times clicking. SA on the other go from boom to bust. Steyn the chucker has not really showed up as yet. Amla has looked susceptible. There is some stability with De Villiers and Miller in the middle. Duminy has been so so. The bowling attack looks unbalanced as well with Philander not firing. There are some interesting choices that have to be made like Abbott for Philander. Tahir might not be as effective against batsmen who play spin well. As well as this might be a level of over confidence on the part of the Lankans and Tahir ends up with wickets.

The SA team is unbalanced. Lots of the players seem short of match fitness.
Q D (your keeper) needs to take a rest and let AB keep and get someone else in.
In reply to tops
Agreed on all points.
SA win win this game very easy
South africa, but AB needs to bat higher up. 5 is too low for the best batsman in the world
SA ...easy peasy

SA. SL team has been carried by Sanga and Dilshan. SA bowling is not easy for them to continue their run.
SA Team has batsmen in form till JP. Duminy and their bowling is still better than SLs
Heart says Sri Lanka, head says South Africa....

If SA chase.. Then I bet you they will choke. If SA bat first game done.
Lanka to win
REASON: RSA are bigger chokers than Lankans...even tho not by much
South Africa all the way until...
If I were a betting man, I would put my money on SL
South Africa with ABD inning being a little better than Sanga's as de clincher!
SA
I reserve the right to change if Chrissy, vor or cmg choose SA as well
SL, they just have the more balanced team on paper, and all engines are firing.

SA team has batsmen in form? I can only remember one good score from Duminy, and that's the 1st match v Zim. De Kok is a walking wicket. I think SA going home.
