Never try to predict anything. Game for hindsight comments though

I like all your picks, except the most ducks. Picking a #8/9 who is still unlikely to last the whole tournament and in some cases won't even bat is a little extreme. More likely it would be a top/middle order batsman who has a really bad tournament.

Funny how everyone is putting England and SA as surprise failures. They both fail every time!

Anyways I would predict a shock death like people sometimes do before a comp, but it would feel kinda awkward and disrespectful after the last WC. And it probably wouldn't be the best prediction, the odds are stacked firmly against it.















*ahem*

[Burgey]

Winners - Us
Finalists / Semi - Finalists - India, SA, NZ
Player Of The Tournament - M Hussey (if fit) if not they'll give it to a player from a side which doesn't win it, who did well in the prelims but who got owned by Australia in the final (there is ample precedent for this)
Top Run Scorer - Mussey (if fit). If not, AB de Villiers
Top Wicket Taker - Zaheer Khan or Dougeh. Dougeh!
Surprise Package - NZ.
Surprise Failures - Sehwag and SL
AOP (any other predictions) - random minnow to beat Pakistan at some point, with associated raising of eyebrows (later found unjustified).
