| The outside chance for me is England. We have had a good run of form and we will be going for it with confidence. But what is the most important game for us in my mind is our 2 warm-up matches against Bermuda but most importantly Australia. If we win those 2 games then we will be on such a high I don't think New Zealand will matter much. I am suprised why people say NZ, because they just don't have the match-winners. Well, Fleming, Vettori, Franklin and Bond can pop to mind, but apart from Fleming, I really don't see anyone with that edge. England have many, but they disapoint so often plus Trescothick will miss out which is a huge blow for us.
SL are my most likely choice to win it, But on team who will also get far will be WI. They are at home, in form and full of confidence. SA and PAK are tipped as strong sides, but they don't seem to have the form at the moment. As for AUS, well never write them off, but they look in the kind of touch that could see them lose to Scotland or Netherlands. IND look set to make a semi-final appearence, but if I were to say 4 teams that would make it to the last 4, it would be India, Sri Lanka, West Indies and England (If they lose warm up games than South Africa)
My overall prediction is Sri Lanka, probably beating West Indies in the final. |
