CRICKET WORLD CUP!

[spinwizard]

who will win? My bet is on Sri Lanka

Sri Lanka- They ahave a strong batting line up with several explosive batsmen. eg. sangakkara (sp). Threr bowilig has alot of variation with-
malinga(very quick but skidy because of his roundhouse action, will cause problems)
murali-(The best spin bowler in the world, can turn it both ways, turns it alot)
vass-(will cause problems with his accurate left arm action)

any1 else have an opinion?

If SA dont choke (as usual) I think they are the strongest team on present form. If I was putting money on it Sri Lanka at 9:1 and NZ at 10:1 are pretty attractive

[spinwizard]

i dont think new zealand have the bowling 2 go all the way (only bond/vettori) and SA always have a good team (polleck, boucher, smith ect...) but useualy mess it up, sri lanka at 9:1 is a good shot.

I agree about New Zealand's bowling being weak but their middle order bats cover a multitude of bowling sins. And on some nice flat bouncy tracks I just think that the bats could make the difference

[spinwizard]

i suppose, the ground r small other there aswell, they have a distructive lower middle order as u say but all of there bowlers r simeler, they all bowl medium fast and i think it could b costly on such bat friendly piches

Windies have to be worth a punt at 8s with the home advantage and this being Brian Lara's last world cup an all... My money is with either WI or SA at the moment...

[spinwizard]

west indies tend 2 b abit inconsistent but they r at home...alot of there batting depends on Gayle or Lara fireing tho.

I think the best thing about this World Cup is it is the most wide open for many years. Not one team really stands out and any one of 6 teams could win it. Couple that with the Trini Posse and this should be a great World Cup

[spinwizard]

yep, it is so open!
