[biased indian]

we have a sub forum under cricket chat for this

 

[oitoitoi]

Between SA and India, Australia have an outside chance, massive difference between those 3 and the other sides. 4th semifinal spot is pretty open, WI could have a good chance having been in England for a while. Sri Lanka have some serious quality available, NZ always compete in big tournies. Pakistan always a dark horse. England 1st round exit?

 

[S.P. Fleming]

no point in saying its between sa and india, its t20 for all i know the scots will win it.

 

[anoop4real]

India for sure!!!

 

[Naumaan]

Really none can predict anything about twenty 20
although i think pakistan should do well cuz in Pakistan we'll all play only twenty 20
it's introduced in Uk or SA in last few years but we've been playing it since we were kids
so we should do well

LOL
well i'm happy with these predictions
but i don't think it's going to happen lol
but yeah most of the predictions are well thought out
but u know u can't predict Pakistan
maybe we beat good teams by huge margin & taste defeat against relatively easy teams

predictions about others are not bad

My Pre-World Cup Rankings:

1.South Africa
2.New Zealand
3.India
4.Australia
5.Pakistan
6.Sri Lanka
7.England
8.West Indies

And South Africa and New Zealand are in the same pool.

I would really like to see Australia win this world cup, but I don't think it will happen.

New Zealand at two is a bit of a surprise, I think we will go pretty well but India should be favourites. Pakistan should go pretty well too, the only teams I don't think can win this World Cup barring the minnows are England and Sri Lanka.

I don't think England, Sri Lanka or West Indies can win this. They don't have good enough hitters.

 

[Flem274*]

SL have friggin Murali, Mendis and Malinga. They should do well.

And then the rest.

I think New Zealand should get pretty close to winning this they have some real good 20/20 players. McCullum, Guptill, Ryder, Taylor, Oram, Vettori, Mills, Butler. They should really go close to winning.

 

[Howsie]

SL have friggin Murali, Mendis and Malinga. They should do well.

They are all very good bowlers but who do they have as batsmen?

Sri Lanka won't get very far.

 

[Howsie]

SL have friggin Murali, Mendis and Malinga. They should do well.

I have them at five, I just don't see them getting very far because of their batsmen.

 

[Flem274*]

Jayasuria
Dilshan
Sangakara
Jayawardene

Whats wrong with that?

 

[Howsie]

Okay you have convinced me I didn't think old man Jayasuria was playing. Plus they have Maharoof and he isn't to bad either.

Sri Lanka are now in my Top Four.

 

[Howsie]

Jayasuria
Dilshan
Sangakara
Jayawardene

Whats wrong with that?

Old
Very inconsistant
Good
Slow Starter

Who else do they have in there batting line-up.

 

[Howsie]

Jayasuria
Dilshan
Sangakara
Jayawardene

That's a pretty good team, Jayasuria is getting pretty old though he hasn't been that great in the IPL.
