bowl_out Posted May 25, 2017 Share Posted May 25, 2017 India's bowling is strong.. Batting doesn't give confidence, as most of them come into the tournament on poor form.. Aus and Eng look the strongest sides. Link to comment

Hopefully the cant get rid of their rust in the warm up matches. Rohit was completely off only for one good inning. The other couple innings were just okay.Rest all bad. But he did not open.Dhawan was on and off though. Edited May 25, 2017 by Pollack Link to comment

England or Australia will win it both are extremely strong right now. Arree Bhai, we are the dark horse of any major tournaments. No body thinks but we do, We have proved that. It's good in hindsight that our team can be away from Jinx. Link to comment

veer Posted May 25, 2017 Share Posted May 25, 2017 England - I dont know why they dont have Jordan in first XI.. he is much better at death over. Australia - they over rely on Smith/Warner but still strong. South Africa - they look good on paper but can be bit unpredictable.. India - First time in my mind batting looks weaker than bowling dept. Yadav/Shami/Bhuvi/Bumrah/Ashwin/Jaddu looks good combo.. If pitch is swing friendly, batting is doomed to fail. KL Rahul was needed. Link to comment
CoverDrive Posted May 26, 2017 Author Share Posted May 26, 2017 One of the big problem areas for us is top order is kind of out of form and will be tentative. Other teams have aggressive openers who will get the team to fliers. This is also a very short tournament so a bad start pretty much seals your fate and you are out of contention. Link to comment
mishra Posted May 26, 2017 Share Posted May 26, 2017 I would personally like to see England lift the trophy. Hence voted for England, But Aussies and Indian are serious contender Link to comment
Zero_Unit Posted May 26, 2017 Share Posted May 26, 2017 Either Australia or England. Most likely England with their current form in both Batting and Bowling. We usually do well in big events but I don't think we will lift the trophy as much as I would like to see it happen. Link to comment

Infact, you guys are lucky to make the cut. If you ask me, SL is the dark horse. You guys will most likely do worst than BD in this tournament and they probably won't win anything to begin with.

tweaker Posted May 27, 2017 Share Posted May 27, 2017 England looks very strong . They have explosive openers in Hales & Roy followed by Root, Bairstov, Butler followed by all-rounders Stokes, Woakes, MoeenAli, Rashid.They have good bowling in Wood,Tremlet, Jordan,Willey etc Link to comment
vishalvirsingh Posted May 27, 2017 Share Posted May 27, 2017 As a Cricket Analyst and a Cricketer who still plays Cricket and Opens batting for My Company , i definitely have an edge in answering this question. I definitely want INDIA to win this tournament as MOST of you do. BUT AUSTRALIA will WIN the CT 2017. They have Aggressive Batsman and 145 to 157K fast bowlers...pattinson Cummins Starc and may be the DD ALLrounder..SCARY ATTACK. iff their batsman SCORE 150 , they will get the Opposition under 150..i dont see any team beating them , with good batting,fileding and pace attack. only chance for other teams could be if tracks asist Spinners too , then ASHWIN,Imran TAHIR,ZAMPA and other Spinners could have some point to make. if their balls dont turn..then it is AUSTRALIA all the way.
