My World Cup favourites

castro · December 30, 2002, 1:17pm

On recent form I would make the following teams my favourites to win the world cup

Australia
New zealand
South Africa
West Indies
England
Namibia
Zimbabwe
India
Sri Lanka
Pakistan

Namibia are currently playing their cricket in South Africa and are playing great cricket. Their batsmen are technically correct and are getting some big scores on S.A wickets. Their pace bowlers are almost as quick as S.A’s bowlers. Watch out for Namibia. Zimbabwe has always posted good ODI scores in S.A as most of their batsmen are good hookers and pullers and they show little respect for short pitched bowling. The West Indies have improved in leaps and bounds over the last year and New Zealand have found and a winning combination that is good enough to beat the best.

The teams from the subcontinent will continue to struggle in South Africa and Pakistan who will be led by a captain with a poor cricket brain together with his pathetic talentless batsmen who are clueless on playing rising deliveries are likely to go home early.

This way or that way

Pakistan is winning this World Cup. You can have Bangladesh as your top favorite or Kenya or NZ, it wouldn't make any differece.

BrokenSky · December 30, 2002, 9:57pm

andha_qanoon · December 30, 2002, 10:07pm

First ,just to enlighten you SL is in different group.
and yes… ZIM doesnt have chance.
You dont even know which team is in which group.do you?

So dont again laugh like a looser.Contribute to the discussion with some logic.

Asif_k · December 30, 2002, 10:14pm

good one Waise Bangladesh kis group me hai bhai.

Pakistani_Tiger · December 30, 2002, 10:19pm

Australia or South Africa. I bet these team will meet in Super Sixes. Can't wait to see that clash. Plus, final could be expected among them.

Frankly, these are the two teams, who deserves World Cup.

Eastern_Thoughts · December 30, 2002, 10:27pm

my 6th sense ;) feels that teams will be in this order.....

Winner "South Africa"

Final "South Africa" VS "Pakistan"

SemiFinals

"South Africa" VS "Australia"

"Pakistan" VS "India or New zealand "

PS:- sorry if i m wrong caz i really dont know that in which pools these teams are.

Sixth sense ko nahi hoti hai.. but what if you selected 4 team from one group in super Six.so you need to know which team is in which group.But if you dont know and still got it correct then its called TUKKA.
