A few minor changes to my cricket predictions:
*India's inexplicable loss to Sri Lanka has put them out of the running (Who'd've guessed a month ago that India and Pakistan would both be out before the Super 8?), so to compensate, I'm moving Sri Lanka up to India's position and Bangladesh into Sri Lanka's old spot, giving a final Super 8 result of:
1. Australia
2. England
3. New Zealand
4. Sri Lanka
5. Ireland
6. Windies
7. Bangladesh
8. South Africa
Sri Lanka'll probably lose to Australia a little faster than India would.
*I erred when I said England would beat New Zealand by "a few wickets": because England will bat first if they're the second team, they can't win by wickets as such. Damned silly ODI rules. Also, I think I underestimated the Kiwi side. I see England winning by less than 10 runs.
And Australia's win over Bangladesh to-day was hilarious: Australia kept all ten wickets in hand and managed to best the Bangladeshi score in 13 overs. I know match was reduced to 22 overs a side, but it's still disgraceful for Bangladesh, especially when you consider Australia took six of their wickets in 22 overs. So it goes for the ersatz Indians.
