Pak' date='SA,Aus,SL in semi finals because these teams have good bowling attack.[/quote'] Aus - Lee & who else ? Pak - Gul ? Asif is tundler , was never effective in ODI's SL - Malinga & Murali , Malinga can be very erratic , Murali is not the same bowler anymore Apart from SA no one has a good bowling attack . one or two bowlers dont make a good bowling attack . in that case even India has Harbajan whos as good as anyone in ODI's

September - October in Africa (continent) are lucky month for us. We won T20 WC in September and runners up in 2000 Champions Trophy which was in Nairobi.

If we bowl the way we did in Lanka, I doubt we will go a long way.

[Pak_Forever]

I will not predict. I am 100% confident that Pakistan will lift the trophy. India will lose all 3 games in the group stage even against a 'z' grade West Indies. :--D

^if pakistan wins, I will become suicide bomber

I think South Africa will be VERY hard to beat, in this tournament.

Ind vs SAF finals with Ind taking it all. Top 4 teams clearly are Ind/Aus/SAF/SL.

If our bowlers pull up their socks and show an improved performance then we will easily win this tournament. Our fast bowling does look a bit shallow and it would depend on how well Ishand&RP perform on the given day. Praveen Kumar should be given a chance early on in the tournament as it would help him to settle better. Interesting tournament this and the battle lies within the Indian team, if they can overcome the minor problems in the bowling department we will be the victors.

Australia this time!!
