The way West Indies have been playing in the Super 8, their chances of winning the world cup are very remote.
As it stands now Australia, South Africa, New Zeland and Sri Lanka are the favourites for winning the tournament. Whichever team among these teams plays better cricket consistently will be the ultimate winner.

They are in a good shape.They have flair & talent.
Now most immportantly they hanve rekindled their ability
to win matches in alien ,overseas conditions.
They proved that in Guyana's newest stadium..
They defeated star studded Indian team with clinical aproach.
South Africans escaaped unscathed by desimal points.
As Mahela puts..........."It's time to be ruthless".
They proved that toppling host Windies by magnificiant approach. Now sanath & Mahela among runs,they are unstoppable!
Can you remember,..It was supposed to ...be Indian's, world cup this time.
Sachin being senior most he should have waited until right moment comes.
But these blokes from Sri Lanka had other ideas.
Furthermore it was 250 runs to get....
Lankans got it by running between wickets.
They have come of age now.Asian are the best now.
Australian dominance may decline in near fure in front of these fighting Sri Lankans....Nobody knows..
We have solid facts for that....
SL has upper hand...for future games..
In Super 8 They have lil threat by Az..
But that match might be a heart stopper.
Its all the way for Asian Teams who are becoming true giants.
No more 'Old-English-gentelmen' ruling the Cricket World.
But see how they became top of the world right now...
Though they beat india They still had to give their best ever performance..
They almost won with South Africa.,by Malinga heroics.
Now It's Sri Lanka's time to be Called As,...
"Star- studded Cricket team of World cup -2007"
Their.. ballers and fielders taught how to win when you ,balling second time.
When Uthappa and Ganguly walked in, India had a target of just 255 runs, on a wicket which had dried and gone flatter. But nobody showed the charactor to stay on, except Dravid. It was his flurry of fours off Malinga in one over that had raised the hopes of Indian fans just for a while.
Anybody can be so sure that ,the turning point was Sachin’s getting out to Big-Fernando, through the gate for duck.
Then prossesion has started.Gibbs, Sachin Ganguli,Lara,Smith, Chanderpaul...Peiterson.Flintoff, voughen.& many more to come.
Like wise when Vass on full flaw any thing can happen.
History may repeat this time like 1996.
They made presure on much favoured Indians.
Next,England ,Australia & NewZealand have to feel presure.
It is really worth analysing the difference among -"would be semi finlists"( the 4teams)
S.African’s ,Kiwis & windies' strength was batting and given the proper conditions, their medium pacers and the spinners could be devastating.
Ifa not, Their shoulders start drooping and the bowling goes haywire with all kind of experimentations.
It could happen to their batting too.
Exactly opposite are Sri Lanka, except that their batting is as good if not better. We were the big brothers when they started. Now they are the elders. What an irony. They are better fielders for sure, and the bowlers bowl to the field under any circumstances unless it’s a completely off day for them.
Muralitharan,Vass,Malinga is just outstanding. And most importantly, they play as a team and not as individuals. And that’s the thin line that differentiated the other teams.
So wait,fans more fire works yet to come...
They now have to beat only 3 teams to advance easyly to much awaited semi finals.
Long live cricket !!!!!!!
