World Cup

[Fro]

Starts this week.

Can Australia go 4 in a row? and if not who else will do it?

Personally I dont know if we can, South Africa would be my tip, if our guys get it right we are a chance, but there are a lot of question marks over our line up for mine.

 

[The Gronk]

India have to be half a chance.  Our batting is too shaky for mine. 

 

[Fro]

India have over a billion people on their backs at home, will be a big ask for them to win it, but they certainly have the talent.

 

[Fluffy]

India in India will be hard to beat given the way the wicket turned the other night so they get my pick

The Safies are my top pick on a normal wicket but feel they arnt strong enough in the spin department to go favourites for me

 

[Fro]

Saf have taken 3 spinners so they are obviously trying to get that side of things right.

If Imran Tahir fires for them they are a big chance, hes only just become eligible and was straight in to the team.

if they can lose the chokers label they will be right up there.

 

[clontaago]

I'd say the last 4 will be India, Sri Lanka, Sth Africa and Australia.

We will struggle though I think.

 

[The Gronk]

so long as we beat the poms

 

[The Eagle]

Ponting has come back refreshed and renewed
Started a little slow against india but picked up
but the spin backed him off again

You need more spin in the subcontinent than

[tractorboy]

Sri Lanka would have to be up there. If not India or South Africa.

 

[Kiwi Eagle]

The format really opens this comp right up compared to the last cups that had the Super 8 round

Straight knockout from the 1/4 final round, so there are 6-7 teams capable of stringing 3 wins together and take the cup

 

[Chip and Chase]

I'm not sure we have got the bowling attack this time around to go 4 in a row. We also don't have a dominant batsman that can turn a game on their own, no Hayden, Gilchrist or Symonds type. Ponting is past his best, so batting will rely a lot on Watson and Hayden, although Clark may go alright over there. 

You'd have to say India are a big show, but I really hope they don't win, couldn't stand the carry on to be honest. Rather see Sri Lanka get up if we don't.

 

[Fluffy]

I dont think Hayden is someone we should rely on this time

 

[The Gronk]

Stuart Clark probably wont make too many runs either

 

[clontaago]

If Watson doesnt fire we will be gorne

 

[The Gronk]

Our bowlers will be hit and miss too. We have gone for all out attack.  If we don't take regular wickets we will go for a lot of runs. 

 

[Kiwi Eagle]

Kenya 69
NZ 72/0 from 8

Call off the cup now lol

 

[The Eagle]

Gronk all out attack is part of the headgames,its showing other countries we are there to win,should be good once the real games start

 

[Fro]

and if that doesnt work Shane?

attack is fine but we dont have a plan B.

and I am not having a go for a change, i agree thats what they are trying to do, I just dont think it suits conditions over there.

 

[Chip and Chase]

I dont think Hayden is someone we should rely on this time

Sorry meant Haddin. It would be good to have Haydos back though.

 

[The Eagle]

If that doesnt work Fro we are ****ed
We dont have the depth for even a 1st XI
and it shows with brainfart selections like
Krezja ,Hasting and Tait

Our bowling attack is a bad joke and India
played about 5 spinners against us with nothing
but success,we have a spinner if you add the 2
idiots we have over there classed as spinners
because in my view,Krezja and Smith are the Hastings
of spinners,We will have to use.....Hussey
