World cup

Who will win 2007 world cup?

[mwrkhan]

What about India, England or the West Indies?

[banindfan]

you got to be out of your mind not to mention India and England ................India-last world cup finalists...and .............England the only team who look to have a complete one day team
Sorry but I dont think Bangladesh would even get into the semifinals or the super8's if they play so inconsistently...they have only won5ODI matches this year....to be atop team they shud be better performances...Lets see how the Srilankan tour helps them

First of all you missed half the teams. Also there is a long way to go until that time.

Another one of the stupid polls

Anyways... GO South Africa !!!!

Well I would vote for England

I gotta get behind the boys.
Seriously, if they sort out these trademark top order collapses they have the makings of a damn good England one day team.

May be ur heart isn't accepting this statement ........but ask ur mind .......BD are too young to Win the WC .......they didn't have quality players to do so at the moment ..may be in ten years time they may produce couple of quality players

Australia, might be their last for a while though. We'll have to see how players like Shaun Tait etc emerge

[AsifTheManRahman]

bangladesh will win for sure (Y)

[6alltheway]

, if only..hahahaha

probably between india, england and australia.

My prediction:

I don't think Australia or India will win, they are both ageing teams.

England could be favourite if Pietersen will prove as consistent as talented.
Also South Africa could do well, they have many good players both in the batting and in the bowling side.

I also expect a show of pride from West Indies, host country, to relive the good old times, they have great batsmen (will Lara still be in the team?) but maybe their bowling attack is not good enough.

Bangladesh could do very well if the young talents will keep on improving (Asharaful, Mashrafee, Aftab, Shahadat, Mushfiqur Rahim) and the experienced players (Bashar, Rafique, Khaled Mashud) will perform well in their last chance at the WC.

I think it could be anyone.
international team esp. in odi matches can beat anyone on the day.

teams with most matchwinners in their team, who could win u the game from almost any situation will win it!!

[dosadeel]

IMO, Pakistan and England have a very strong chance. Pak has progressed very well (in ODIS) in the last 2 years under Inzi. The updated rankings as of July 30th show this.

I think the october series b/w pak and england will be decisive.

on paper india would either win the WC or be in the finals every year...but that team is as dissappointing as bangladesh. at least we lose due to inexperience. the india fans are almost always pissed.

on paper BD is a super 8 team. we are better than kenya and zimbabwe, and are probably no worse than WI (their full strength team).

One person won't win it for them.

[akabir77]

Yes, I know. But he could be the deciding factor in a team that already has a good batting order and an excellent bowling attack. And he played very well in the natwest series against the Aussies.
