**2007 World Cup**

[Natman20]

Who do you think will win or get far in the 2007 world cup in West Indies???

 

[Tim]

Well we're still 2 years away from the World Cup. In the next 2 years im sure we'll see quite a few players retire & several teams lose or gain form.

Obviously i'd like NZ to maintain their form for the next 2 years, it won't be easy. But if they can then i'd think they have a decent chance of winning.

 

[vic_orthdox]

i think that the west indies will do really well in what could be lara's swansong.

I'd love to see a team other than australia win the world cup for a change. I'm pinning my hopes on england and Sri lanka

 

[Sehwag309]

The top teams in 2007 I feel would be England, WI (home benefit), Pak, Nz, Aus

Just have the feeling England might win it

 

[honestbharani]

Way too early to predict, but the safe bet would be Australia.

 

[cric_manic]

nz if they can continue the good form

That'd rock. I think the West Indies winning with Lara bowing out following it would be amazing. Particularly if he scored a ton in the final to carry WI to victory.

I just hav a feeling England won't win it

At this point in time would have to be Australia noone has got near them in this VB series so much that the cricket has got almost boring to watch, i really hope other tems challenge Australia for the world cup in 07 but even if some Australia players they've still got quality players to replace them.

Will Cairns still be around?

Of course if Bond comes back and has 18 months or so cricket behind him that would make a huge difference.

So we'll ignore the rain ruined match then will we?

 

[mikeW]

we didnt get a full result and it had a similarity to the game played last game plus Australia hasnt played there strongest available team yet.

 

[masterblaster]

Australia to win would be my prediction, with England runners up (again) much to the anger and disappointment of all the English on CW.

Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh and Zimbabwe don't even get close to advancing into the super six.

Prediction of Super Six Makeup

Australia
India
England
New Zealand
South Africa
West Indies

In the semi finals Australia plays India and England play New Zealand.

England Advance and so do Australia.

Australia beat England to win the 2007 World Cup and become the first team in history to win 3 World Cup's in succession.

That's just my prediction.

Yes it was very boring watching Australia play their 2 home onedayers against NZ in December.....

To remind you in was 1-1, and Aust were only saved by Umpire Fatty Parkers shocker in the 2nd game.

I'd hardly say that 2 match series was "boring" - both games going down to the last couple of overs....

Whilst the Aussie are streaks ahead of the rest of the world in Test cricket. I don't think NZ are that far behind them in ODI's..

That looks like an excellent WC. There is still nothing better than beating England, to be frank.

Err yea, except you didn't in the Champions Trophy... was kinda boring and one-sided that game really...

 

[twctopcat]

I hope england can be competitive, that's all i ask for. I think with a lineup with pietersen, flintoff,strauss,bell, collingwood and tres is a great one. If the bowling keeps tight i see us having a great chance, way better than '03 anyway(which was non existent).
