I'd reckon it will be out of Aussie, SA, Paks, India or Kiwis. I think Sri Lankas form in their recent SA tour makes it seem a bit of an impossibilty for them. Poms...no go..havent got the cattle to win 3 or 4 in a row against the tops sides, which is what you need to do to win the cup. For Pak, Kiwi or India to win, they'd need a bit of luck I'd reckon, but its not impossible. India bowling has been historically carted in SA, their batting is strength. Paks are Paks..brilliant one day, crap the next...Kiwi OK on their day, but require planetary alignment to triumph. Aussie havent impressed me greatly this summer...their fielding has been pretty ordinary, esp catching. SA will be pretty keen..maybe overeagerness could be their downfall. If I were a betting man, I'd look at a SA Aussie quinella, dark horse Kiwi or Pak.

yeah your right donny! im trying to be realistic about it, but dont worry im not going for south africa, im going for the great windies and lara! if Lara, samuels and hooper fire we really could give it (atleast) a shake! u never know, but i think the aussies cant win, injuries have stuffed em up and they needed the great captaincy of steve waugh and without him i think there no hope unless gilly wins mvp for world cup, but he aint gunna cause there's a bloke called brian lara playing in this world cup. Image so go the WEST INDIES!!

How can you think that Austriala will win!!!! With them taking i cant even belive that they are taking an injured player over there in the first place!! What a joke!!!

My tip is: South Afica
: New Zealand for an outside chance

I'm concerned that Australia might not make the finals now....they are easily the best one day side....but if warne, bevan, dizzy and Mcgrath are not on fire or even playing ...they will not beat sides like NZ or SA.....Australia better hope they do not have to play NZ in the semis....they might get rolled the Kiwis have something over AUS...

For mine the aussies will come good....as long as Hogg isn't bowling....nice chap I'm sure...but against quality batsman he will get carted all over the park...

SA V OZ FINAL......SA TO WIN

THE PIES GO MARCHING ON
