Australia to lose to South Africa in the Semi.

South Africa to beat Pakistan in the final.

Pakistan cricket to be a laughing stock by playing 2 drug cheats. - EDIT scrap that the two have been ruled out due to convenient injury (funnily neither of the two took PCB drug tests last week too).


Due to that, South Africa to beat New Zealand in the final. Shane Bond to be player of the tournament

even that sounds more believable than barca winning europe this year

England to do slightly better than the media expects, which means beating kenya & canada, but slightly worse than the fans think, which means not making it far.

West Indies or India to win. Don't ask me why, just a gut feeling.

now back to the cricket

Ian, india in cricket are exactly like england in the football. Lotsa talent but no team spirit.

And like the english media before every football world cup, during the cricket one the indian media says this is the strongest team in years to play in the tournament and have a great chance to win and come game time - KABOOM. I guess we still have some traces of the english left in us since 1947

My instinct says this could be Sri Lanka's year. Fantastic team with a great blend of youth and experience and they gel very well together.

I'm starting to wonder if my NZ prediction was maybe a little ambitious after today's warm up results

Beaten by the Bangers by 2 wickets

My problem is that if Jayasuriya, Sangakkara or Jayawardene fail with the bat, they often struggle. With India there are a lot of batsmen who can easily hit it out of the ground, such as sehwag, sacchin, dravid, dhoni & Pathan for example plus others too. Their biggest problem will be if their bowlers are expensive or not.

And Ben, you can't talk about losing a odi to bangladesh

Dood i dont even think pakistan is gona go beyond the first round , they have like so killed it for me ....

and honestly you wont hear any other pakistani dood saying this but honestly that how i feel and being honest about it .

Pakistan Vs West Indies tommorow first match of the 2007 world cup.


what do u guys think????? my moneys on pak for this one ..

west indies have huge expectance from the crowd. Pakistan lack a full bowling attack but have the ability to hit their way out if they field first & concede over 300. Will be interesting and I'm glad to get some action

1am starts? Welcome to my ashes (well 12-1 depending on timezone) but i just saw as much as i could. Alternatively, goto bed early and get up at like 3 or 4 for the 2nd innings, i did that during the CB series

i think Russia stands a good chance this year...

29.1 van Bunge to Gibbs, SIX, Violence! Gibbs charged down the track and hoicked it over long on. 29.2 van Bunge to Gibbs, SIX, Murder! Floated on the leg and middle stump line and Gibbs sends it soaring over long-off. 29.3 van Bunge to Gibbs, SIX, Carnage! Flatter one this time but it makes no difference to Gibbs. He just stands there and delivers. This one also has been sucked over long off 29.4 van Bunge to Gibbs, SIX, Wah Wah! Low full toss and guess where this went Yep. A slap slog and it went over deep midwicket! He is going to go for 6 sixes in this over! 29.5 van Bunge to Gibbs, SIX, Short in length, on the off stump line and Gibbs rocks back and swat-pulls it over wide long off. SImply amazing. What a batsman. This is pure violence! 29.6 van Bunge to Gibbs, SIX, He has done it! One-day record. No one has hit six sixes in a row. GIbbs stands alone in that zone. And the minnow bashing continues! Full and outside off and bludgeoned over deep midwicket End of over 30 (36 runs) - South Africa 214/2 (RR: 7.13)

India were simply outplayed by a very impressive bunch of Bangladeshis. Maybe they thought they'd win too easily, either way this is going to be a kick in the teeth for them.

As for Pakistan, they got what they deserved with their recent attitude problems, ie. nothing. the Irish were brilliant on the day & it was a good day for cricket because it showed that there's a team rapidly rising who have the skills to match teams like zimbabwe, kenya etc and maybe go even higher in the future. Congrats to them.

Yeah, just been reading the live commentary of the Irish game and they did seem to be playing very well. Funny to see some of the emails being sent in, at the start of the Irish innings it was Irish fans bad mouthing Ed Joyce, and then at the end the Pakistan fans saying the CricInfo commentators should all be sacked

Likewise the Bangers did seem to be playing extremely well, 3 WC debutants and all teenagers all scored 50+, and also some of their bowlers like Mortaza.

Good to see Bangladesh and some of the Associates playing quite well, good on em. I reckon its great to see.

(And I did change my prediction to New Zealand when the drug cheats were ruled out of the Paki team)
