    I have a feeling the Saffas will win it all.

    From the Warm Up games I got to go with South Africa and possibly Australia,

    South Africa look very good in the field, and not so good in the batting,

    but over all Australia look good in both batting and fielding,

    and Watson seems to be having a good warm up,

    looking good for the World Cup :)...

    I'm curious as to how people can look past one of India or the Windies...

    India have the players with experience, and while it's all well and good to say that Warne and De Villiers are on fire right now, can they manage to drag their teams to the finals?

    I'll probably be opposing the favourites in most of the early matches, and am looking forward to seeing how Kenya and Ireland fare early doors.

    Netherlands to beat England too....

    south africa are very dangerous they're a threat with both bat and ball and most of the side played in the IPL
    india strong, experienced and capable of scoring very quickly. I would have a slight doubt over their bowling
    the windies rely too heavily on Gayle to get them off to a strong start and their bowling is poor.
    the aussies are not a great T20 side they went for youth over experience and I think it will cost them the loss of symonds will hit them hard.
    pakistan are capable but too erratic
    england are capable but I can't see them putting in the performances on a regular basis in theory they have a great side with Bopara, shah, pietersen, morgan and wright all capable of making big scores and they have the bowling to back it up I just don't think they have it in them though
    sri lanka might pull it off they have the players especially the bowlers but I'm not convinced they'll perform.
    New zealand have the batting lineup to put up big scores but i don't think that their bowling can back them up
