Pretty self-explanatory, really.

'Tis a public poll, so we'll be able to see the idiots who go for Zimbabwe or Kenya.

Australia for me...another heartbreaking semi-final loss for NZ.

Can you really see NZ making the semis at this stage...
If it were to be held tomorrow I'd say it'd most likely be South Africa, Pakistan, Australia and one of India, Sri Lanka and New Zealand, with New Zealand least likely.

Might just be bias, but yes. They are ranked four in the world and this, fitness permitting, will be the strongest team NZ have had in a World Cup since 1992.

We'll choke again under the pressure towards the end of the tournament, but I do believe we'll play very well until then.

You rate NZ below SL at the moment?

Do you watch cricket?

Or go outdoors for that matter?

IMO nowhere near as strong as 1999.
Vincent - glorified slogger
Fleming - middle-order player not opener
Astle - other way around
McMillan - barely in the picture, needs to be
Styris - better than he used to be, obviously, but I still find it hard to understand how he gets the success he does
And the bowling-attack, Vettori apart, is nothing close to 1999 when you guys had Allott, Nash, Cairns, Larsen, Harris.
Have NZ ever looked like replacing Roger Twose?

I rate SL the stronger side, and certainly the side who's more likely to get it together in time, even if their recent form pre-VBS was woeful.
