Sri Lanka have just won the first semis. My points/questions for South Africa-Australia semis (today) are still on my site but I include them here.
Australian batting in the semi-finals has failed in the last three World Cups, only to be bailed out by their bowlers. However, here are some issues to ponder about.... it is the knock-out phase...
1. Can South Africa put pressure if Australia bat first? Should Andre Nel open & bowl full-wide to Hayden to dot around? Type 3 bowling makes more sense than type 2, based on what we have seen.
2. If Australia bowls first in the semis/finals, will they restrict the opposition to 150-170? They have done that in many finals, exploiting some of the advantages of bowling first in ODIs...on good pitches and without any special bowling... hmm..
3. When should Gibbs bat ahead of Kallis? The Aussies will expolit this fact for sure.
