Cool Cricket World Cup 2011 Thread- Who will win?

First game starts on 19th February 2011

To make it sort of interesting, state your predicted winning and losing teams in the World Cup Final match here before the quarter finals start.

e.g. In the Final

England v Bangladesh

Bangladesh win.

Also vote on your winning team in the poll.

Good luck!

Great question. This might help.

Looks like Channel 9 & Fox Sports in HD.

Based on past experience I can't see Afrique du Sud even getting into the final! But thanks for the optimism.

Actually, I don't know - I think it could be quite open this year. It depends on how much the Pakistan players have been paid to lose. India have to be favourites.

England took a hiding in the one dayers in Oz. This crap about being tired sounds like an excuse to me. I know they are away from home but they have played the same number of games as Australia and been thumped in at least 5 of them. I know travel can be tiring, but staying in great hotels is hardly camping and hitch-hiking, is it?

As I'm posting in the Barbie (for the first time) how aboout an NZ vs India final?

Some fish & chips (and a braai for the saffa contingent) and they'll be fine I'm sure.

I'm going for Sri Lanka in those conditions.

I'd like England to win it but I'm realistic ...

SA will choke as usual.

Like Herschelle Gibbs getting a sudden hard-on when he sees a white ball hurtling towards him off the bowling of Brett Lee?

Just heard the funniest trailer for the Alan Border Medal TV coverage on Channel 9

"Shane Watson, Ricky Ponting, Mitchell Johnson... who will win this year's Alan Border Medal?"



Honestly had me in stitches!
