Name the last 4 in the Cricket World Cup

England ( who will DEFINITELY WIN)
Australia
India
West Indies

I think England are a great lay.

Alphabetically ............. Pakistan , South Africa , Sri Lanka , West Indies .

Sri Lanka?

Just out on interest Bigmo what makes you think England are a lay?

They have too many English players. Last time they won an ICC tournament was when they had 6 south africans in their team. That is also the only ICC tourney they have won.

Australia, NZL, Pakistan and West Indies.

That is simply untrue, bigmo, or at least it was yesterday when they were ~9/4 on Smarkets.

How do you price them in home knockouts against (the worst case scenario) India and Australia at home?

If you are looking for the last 4 in sports you have to consider Scotland all the time.

England do look like a lay but in reality they're probably not. 1.07 to finish top 4.

Will be very short to win their semi. Too much power and Archer is box office. One of the best we've seen in a long time..he's that good.

Very difficult to make a case for England not to make the last four, would surely require a bad run of injuries and bad weather.
Any team with Kholi and Bumrah also a likely semi-finalist.
New Zealand then make up the third most likely semi-finalist for me.

A bit tougher for the fourth team, South Africa, Australia and West Indies the most likely for me.
I'll go for Australia simply to keep the prospect of an England v Australia final alive, with Smith and Warner adding to the drama as pantomime villains.

Archer to launch a blinding throw for a run out off the last ball of the final, running out Warner for a one run England triumph.

They are 1.6+ to beat Aus and 1.6+ to beat India in the group stage.

I don't see them being shorter than that in a pressure/knockout game.

I like how you fantasize about England beating Aus in the final but at the same time aren't sure if Aus reach the last four

I've worked it out the kast two semi- finalists

and?

oh i get it

I just don't think they'll win it. Gut feeling and all that. Prepare for them to romp home now I've publicly stated they won't.

Also, there are some very good teams in the tournament.

detraveller don't worry I found it hard to fathom out the rubic  cube and gave up after five mins
You want to congratulate yourself not only did you carry on to try and work it out

But you found the answer congratulations
