    You seem to have missed off a few teams! Ireland have just as much chance of winning it as the Windies.

    You include England but not Ireland :confused:


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 882 ✭✭✭LondonIrish90


    Probably Australia imo.

    England and New Zealand as dark horses. Obviously hopefully England.

    Anybody but South Africa please :pac:

    My vote is for India, having seen the main protagonists at least once each, with Australia beaten finalists.

    I think England's batting is as good as any (and maybe better later in the order now that Eoin Morgan has arrived) but their bowling is average. Pakistan are too 'hot and cold' and South Africa will be thereabouts but their choking tradition must have a question mark over their ability to make it all the way. The West Indies are not good enough (and may be - wishful thinking - out of contention after tomorrow!). New Zealand remind me a bit of Pakistan - good in purple patches but not consistent - and Sri Lanka do not seem to be as good this year as in previous tournaments.

    I hope I have included all the main contenders. Ireland is not included although it would be fantastic to see it. I feel we do not have the strength in depth and if TJ and Andre (latter may be fit tomorrow) are out our bowling is a bit thin. We also need Stirling to click in a decent opening partnership in each game as we cannot expect a KOB-type innings from someone every time.

    A final with India/Sri Lanka would be fabulous.

    Like to see India win as it would be fitting for the best batsman of modern times (Tendulkar) to be a WC winner.

    Finally, very proud of Ireland's cricketers, as I was in last WC.:D

    I'm going with Australia. I just can't see anyone beating them.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 343 ✭✭reb73


    A bit strange no one has South Africa, perhaps the hype about them being big game chokers has many takers:rolleyes:

    I reckon its gonna be an NZ-SA final.. Wonder what odds I'd get for this unlikely match-up:o


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,871 ✭✭✭Corsendonk


    Australia, just things started to click and the addition of Mike Hussey plus all their players can actually move in the field.

    India (and i hope so), other finalist will be one from NZ/AUS/Sri Lanka. Not hugely convinced by England or SA by any means


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,384 ✭✭✭booth70


    Heart - India
    Mind - Australia

    india...

    Pakistan always have a disastrous run in world competitions or get to the final. They're safely through so I back Pakistan to win. Watch out.

    I have a sneaky bet on them before this began so hopefully you are right.:)


    However I feel they need the top 3 to contribute much more than they have. Without them they can't win it.:(

    Will be one of India Australia or South Africa imo

    Tahir has given SA a seriously balanced attack, I think Australia relying totally on pace will eventually be their undoing and India have got to be in the mix

    Hope Inida wins this world cup. It would be great to see Sachin lifting the world cup in his last ever World cup.

    Such a great player..

    Should have put money on it :rolleyes:
