Who will qualify at top spot from the super 8 teams in world cup 2007 , cricket?

I have started a vote for it.

While I love the optimism of the two people who have so far voted that England will top the Super 8 I have gone for Australia. A close thing between them Sri Lanka but after the SA game, I think the Aussies just edge it.

I can see Englands only chance of qualifying as 3rd or 4th in the Super 8 if they can beat WI and SA in the next couple of weeks aswell as Bangladesh and Ireland.

Oops didn't read your post,just the poll title,so my vote came out as NZ as they were the last of four that I picked .
Aussies will top the super8s,SA(have a slight NRR deficit to make up but will make it),SriLanka and New Zealand will be battling for second spot.Can't see England going through,WI might pip NZ.
All IMHO,of course.

I wonder what odds one might have got at the beginning of the World Cup that of the teams from the Indian subcontinent both Pakistan and India would be eliminated at the first hurdle whilst Bangladesh would go through.

I think that it shows how open the tournament can be with the form book being cast aside in favour of which team is actually "up for it" on the day. We have seen fairly recently that the mighty Australia are as capable of losing the plot as any other team. If Flintoff and Pietersen performed as we know they can we would win every match from here on it. Unfortunately so could New Zealand with Jacob Oram, Sri Lanka with Jayasurya and Murali, South Africa with almost half of their team etc etc
