Why is South Africa playing Australia/West Indies twice, and they dont play India even once?

I guess one of those matches is meant to be "India vs South Africa" (probably the June 15th one at Lords).

Edit: Your schedule is mixed up. Here are the teams of Group E

Group of Death.

The teams will have to ensure that there is absolutely no complacency here.one loos could mean they are out. Also,the qulaity of cricket that will be played in this group would be worl -class.Looking forward to it.

One more correction. England vs Aus/WI is at Kennington Oval (London), not at Lords.

Not really... Of course, you cant be complacent when you're facing top class sides like South Africa, Aus/WI and England. But as it happened in 2007, one defeat wont hurt (India lost to NZ but we still qualified for the semifinal).

That's what England decided to do. We lost a game early on (Holland) so we got it out of our system for the Super Eight.

Australia gone. Thankfully Group E has lightened up now into India, South Africa, England and Chris Gayle.

ABSOLUTELY RIGHT! PERFECT!

 

[Mercules]

Don't reckon we're gonna go through somehow

 

[SaiSrini]

India and South Africa are the favorites to make the semifinal, but you never know about West Indies (I am less optimistic about England although they know the conditions better). Gayle alone is enough to win quite a few matches. If he gets stuck and gets support, he can rally WI alone.

I dont want an upset here because I am expecting an India-SA final this time for this tournament and I hope both teams get there to the semis. However, this group's matches will be top notch in quality.

I mentioned earlier that Australia would face India and South Africa within 20 hours: http://www.planetcricket.org/forums/icc-world-twenty20-2009/fixed-spots-super-eights-54643.html That team is now West Indies.

For me the favourite teams to progress are South Africa and India. But anything can happen, like we have seen plenty of times.
