Steyn, Pattinson, Philander and Lyon to be in the bowling XI of the year.

Yadav to have a decent year, continuing to strike at his current rate (46) while gaining a slight amountof control.

Pujara and Clarke to rip up.

Australia win the Ashes back in England by a close margin and comprehensively beat England at home.

Australia - India either 2-1 or 1-1.

Pattinson - MVP of the year playing 8+ tests taking 40+wickets at 18-20.

Tendulkar to not retire even in 2013.

Cummins to either play and do nothing significant or not play more than 2 matches due to injury.

Rahane and Woakes to gun it if selected.

Ishant Sharma to play atleast six tests, continue to average more than fifty as has been the trend post-2010. Take 2-100 of 45 overs in his last test of the year and have people backing him again for the test spot and calling him unlucky.

Gavaskar and Ganguly to jointly recommend Dinda to the ICC hall of fame in December 2013.

England retain the Ashes.

RSA win the series 2-1 thanks to Kamran Akmal dropping all the catches.

India and Australia draw their series.

Tendulkar to not retire even in 2013.
:laugh:!!! Will be ****ing so awesome if this happens.

What he should do is just play on until every pundit, analyst, fan, CWer etc. gets sick of writing about how sad they feel seeing him not at his best and all comments about how he should retire disappear. Then he randomly just retires after the 2014 IPL.

I'm not sad he's playing on when he's past his best. It's a good thing.

England to realise too late that their bowling attack relies on 2 players and will suffer the same ignominy as India. They will still beat NZ, but some serious questions will be raised.

South Africa will remain dominant, although Pakistan will give them a few scares.

India will turn things around pretty quickly upon the introduction of B Kumar and Rahane to their side.

Lanka slide continues while Bangla progresses.
Ashes produces 10 compelling tests with Australia regaining the Ashes in the final home test, Warner and Pattinson emerge a the new generation stars.
India starts rebuilding with youngsters after Sachin and Zaheer's retirement.

Obviously series Burg. Nice try but we're not that dire to not have ever won a Test in SA.

England retain the Ashes in England, drawn series.

Australia win them at home 2-1.

Pattinson and Bird destroy the England top order in England.
