First Class Debutant
Winners - Sri Lanka
Finalists/Semi-Finalists - South Africa (Semis - Pakistan & England)
Player Of The Tournament - Dilshan
Top Run-Scorer - Dilshan
Top Wicket-Taker - Rusty Theron
Surprise Package - Cooper and ten Doeschate to ton up somewhere. Bangladesh are a handfull at home.
Surprise Failures - Even with absolutely everything in their favour, India still don't manage to win. k.o by Bangladesh again just for the hilarity of it.
Any Other Predictions Tendulkar announces his retirement. The tournament is once again labeled a disgrace again due to it's length. 2015 is confirmed to be the last 50 over World Cup. Most people are happy because Australia didn't win.

Surprise package definitely Windies.

If they can get their best XI on the park from their 30 man squad they are really, really suited to these consitions IMO.

School Boy/Girl Captain
Winners: South Africa
Finalists / Semi - Finalists: Australia, Windies, England
Player Of The Tournament: Steyn
Top Run Scorer: Watson
Top Wicket Taker: Steyn
Surprise Package: Windies making semi
Surprise Failures: India lose every game, :ph34r:
AOP (any other predictions):
Chris Gayle scores a double hundred.
Steyn gets a 7fer.
Tendulkar has a run of 6 ducks and tries to retire from all forms of cricket - BCCI doesn't accept it and so commences the "curse" - 50 ducks in a row across all forms of cricket. Indian IT industry throw all of their considerable computing resources behind figuring out why and all roads lead to a select few pedants on CW (who decidde to start applying filters "pre-curse" and "post-curse" to debates about Sachin's greatness).:ph34r::ph34r::ph34r:

Collingwood is almost destined to rescue England at some stage given how much his place is being questioned ATM. My tip is he'll do it in England's last group game when they're struggling to get out of the group. :ph34r:
