Will Zimbabwe stop Aussies or England getting to next stage ? Doubtful but neighbours to SA , might help . Discuss.

Being Neighbours doesn't win you cricket matches IMO.

England and Australia will outplay Zimbabwe I'm fairly certain of that.

A pretty obvious pool.

It helps in that there will be lot of local support . But I agree that may not change the outcome.

No chance in hell of beating either team.

Its obvious who's going to win,

Dont know how to spell sorry.

Asstralians r so unlucky .. 2 b in d Group with England.They will be kicked out ov da first Round by England.Otherwise,they wud lost 2 England .. in d Final..LOL

Tru b3 d4t:cool:

that group will just be like warm up games for england and australia as thr both gunna qualify its just who is first n who is 2nd

I'd be weary of Zimbabwe in a 20/20 game, and i'd never underestimate them.

Most of the players in the top order are big hitters so if they get a bit lucky they could put a worthy score on the board and the added pressure on the other team knowing they are favourites could throw a spanner in the works.

Thats not a bias prediction, just a possibility.

Zimbabwe's bowling will get annihilated however.

Hmm England might put up more of a fight against the aussies then one would think. I like the look of this Broad kid and as long as Tremlett and Plunkett don't play they have a resonable line up.

And can someone ban Piertersonrocks?

My tip of the cup is for Matsikenyeri to have a blinder. His dinky and up tempo starts and energy are what 20/20 is all about imo. Plus, he shouldn't have to face the likes of Lee batting at 5 or 6. I could see him, Taibu and Sibanda doing some damage, especially against some of England's bowlers.

Anyone know television times in Eastern Aus??

Australa & England best XI should be:

AUSTRALIA:

Gilchrist
Hayden
Ponting
Symonds
Hussey
Watson
Clarke
Lee
Hogg
Bracken
Hilfenhaus - could be Australia's surpise package with the word that conditions in SA ATM would assist his type of bowling.


ENGLAND:

Maddy
Prior
KP
Freddie
Collingwood
Shah
Wright
Mascarenhas
Snape
Broad
Anderson/Kirtley - regardless of his superb superb Anderson bowling in the slog over is still bad, Kirtley they say is a death specialist these days so hopefully if picked he lives up to that rep..
