1. Nothing wrong with saying someone is going to win, but it's a waste of time for everyone if you don't qualify it. It's like saying 'I want to eat' but not bothering with what you're going to eat. 2. No disrespect to New Zealand, but Sri Lanka are in dire straits right now and beating them is no great effort. Look how they were thrashed by Australia and South Africa recently for a better form indicator. |

Its good to see that there are many SA supports out there
 .As much i would like to see them win the world cup i think will make it to the semiz and then get beaten.But i think this is going to be the best wotlf cup ever because many small cricketing nations such as bangaladesh are emerging quite well{they beat The champs before} and many teams are beginning to gell well so i just want to watch some good cricket were even Australia will face some stiff competition(Hope they don't win it)

New Zealand wernt thrashed by south africa and aus they where close games but new zealand coulldnt get over the line. They have a good chance to win they are ranked number 5 in the world and are knowen for there upsets at the 2003 world cup |

There were a two or three close games (which you still lost, and what does that tell you?), but the rain saved you from a 5-0 loss in South Africa and you lost by 147 runs against Australia in the first ODI. Dress it up how you like but your ODI team is nowhere near as strong as you're trying to make out. Fortunately for New Zealand, it's another 18 months until the World Cup so they've time to improve. In my opinion, if the World Cup was held tomorrow, we'd see a final four of South Africa, Australia, India and Pakistan with Australia or South Africa prevailing. But a lot can change between now and the World Cup (and will.) |

I agree, NZ won the last match and Australia's bowling line up for that match had barely played 20 odis all together, teh difference is in 18 months those bowlers will have experience. NZ lost in the 2nd ODI to second string bowlers on a ground thats smaller then my backyard.

John Davisonis an AUssie!! He got the fastest ever WC century and he is a handy off spinner, played for SOuth AUs. He is oold 36 now though, he wanted to continue playing state cricket after WC but he got dropped. What is he doing now? THE USA and CANADA cricket teams are full of West INdians, Indians and Pakistanis mainly. Holland has a very good domestic competion. Scotland features in the county competition. |

I have grave reservations about the organisation of the tournament. Logistically , playing in so many different countries makes planning difficult and I believe the team that adapts to all the problems that throws up will triumph. Apparently the organising committee want free movement between islands to be passport free - it hasn't been sanctioned yet.
The people in the Caribbean are fantastically laid back , which is great for the blood pressure if you're one of them and bloody frustrating if you're a visitor. Delays at airports , trouble with practise facitilities (normal hiccups for the region) might irritate some sides. Methinks the worse the organisation , the better the Windies chances !!

I think Davison is around 40 now. I saw an interview of him and in that I think they said he was 39. |

i am just glad , that the world cup's going to be played in one of the best , calm , beautiful and exciting countries in the world and not like India, Pakistan or rainy england
.although i think they should consider about playing the next one in the middle east.(if they can start working on the stadiums right away because we got one and it sucks) but surprisingly sheik's in Dubai,sharjah ,abu Dubai have a lot of money to spend and throw, so it wont be a big problem for them to build several stadiums in years to come when they built a whole new city here in less than 3 years with skyscrapers and malls one could ever imagine.

lets be realistic, more can be said once the whole itenary & schedule of matches is out, west indian pitches help batsmen, not all pace bowlers do good there as there is not much swing. ausies have proven their track record, they will be one of the four semi finalists, SA would definitely be the other, on current form other two would be from Pakistan and India and england. Anything from there onwards, a good day for one player in a knock out match can win a match. Ausies and SA on consistency will reach semi final, which will be hard for india and pakistan, but their inconsistency gives them a better chance in knock out matches |

The tracks will suit the subcontinental sides because of the low bounce. There isn't much lateral movement after the shine is gone , so containment is pretty difficult. If the supersub rule isn't revoked then sides will play the extra batsman and bring on a supersub ,who's a good bowler.
That'll probably mean the top sides won't get dismissed within the 50 overs and the sides that have the most solid bowling line up will be favourites. Any side that has an iffy 5th bowler will be in trouble - in fact because of the supersub rule the best sides will have at least 6 bowlers per game. |

Yeh Australia had it right, I think in ODI cricket Australia have a better pace attack tehn England and an allround better attack, McGrath and Lee are the No.1 and No.2 bowler in ODI cricket in the world, Hogg is a very good left arm chinamen spinner and if you look at Nathan Bracken's record it is excellent, I think the Aust 5th bowler, either Watson, Stuart Clarke or James Hopes are also very good bowlers.

Can some body give me how diffrent bowlers fare at west indies pitches, australia has a great bowling attack but will it be good on windy pitches has to be seen, as for as a balance attack is concerned, Pakistan has a more balanced attack than any one day side,one team with seven front line bowlers , thanks to supersub rule.

will home ground and crowd help windies to be a force has to be seen, I believe they have lost due to a loss of self belief, and technically due to a persistant and potent bowling attack

but they are not front line bowlers, the only allrounder that can be considered a front line bowler are bowling allrounders and the only current genuine allrounder, Freddy.

Pakistan is a good ODI team, but I wouldn't rank them in Australia's class. Australia seem undefeatable.

All of the allrounders pakistan have are mainly bowling allrounders and have around 100 wickets each except for shoab malik I am not sure of his wickets
