Who do you think will take home the cup this year?

I think India Australia in final and Australia will take it

Simon · 06-08-2004, 12:19 AM

its impossible to go past australia, unless you are very silly.....

NikhilN · 06-08-2004, 12:24 AM

who knows...maybe USA can get past australia and new zealand...

Mr. P · 06-08-2004, 12:26 AM

Certainly Australia, we will win, but im sure there will be challenges...

NikhilN · 06-08-2004, 12:27 AM

USA v Australia...Match I cant wait to see

Dasa · 06-08-2004, 01:03 AM

Probably Australia. I think New Zealand are in with a chance though.

Nnanden · 06-08-2004, 01:09 AM

surely south africa are in with a chance?

pakistan, the windies and england have a lot to prove...

Mister Wright · 06-08-2004, 01:13 AM

Australia's bogey tournament, so they have alot to prove. I don't think it is so clear cut. Australia will only have three matches to play after a long break, whereas most other teams have been playing regularly.

Mr. P · 06-08-2004, 01:20 AM

Yeah I agree mate. I think we'll win, but it will be very tough. Never do well in this one.

I think that England should make the semis - SL away aren't as strong, and Zimbabwe is weak.

Craig · 06-08-2004, 01:37 AM

Everybody said Australia was favourites in 2000 and 2002 but it didn't pan out, so maybe we could see a potential Euro 2004 when nobody in their wildest dreams thought Greece would win, so we could see that here.

New Zealand are playing pretty well in ODIs since Bracewell took over, so they would be my dark horses to take out victory, however, I think they will be semi finalists.

Given England's recent form in ODIs, I would not be so sure of that.

So in many ways if they win against India in the Natwest Challenge, they would have a massive confidence boost.

Considering New Zealand have won this tournament before, and have been in exceptional ODI form, they are hardly dark horses IMO.

To make the semis they will have to get past Australia in the group stages - remember, one loss means the tournament is over for everyone.

yeh i agree, if NZ win it (which they wont) it will hardly be a shock...
