Not wishing to dwell on SA's "choker" tag but they dont have a good reputation for winning under pressure, I'd be surprised to see them get past the semis.

Whilst Australia have had a dip in form at the moment and are struggling with a pretty weak bowling attack i feel their batting will see them alright.

My other favorites are Sri Lanka. They've got a good coach and are an experienced side with a talented batting and bowling line up.

Other than that everyone is capable of beating everyone else so it could be a wide open world cup.
