Dhondy Posted February 21, 2007 Share Posted February 21, 2007 http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/cricket/6342377.stm Doesn't think any other team will come close, and has already written off England. Does he know something we don't? Link to comment
Chandan Posted February 21, 2007 Share Posted February 21, 2007 Re: Waugh: India, Pak only teams capable of ousting Australia Umm... No. I don't agree that it could be only India or Pak. First of all, Pak bowling is still not settled and they don't know even at this stage as to what their attack is going to be. And India are too inconsistent to reach the final! Link to comment

DesiChap Posted February 21, 2007 Share Posted February 21, 2007 Re: Waugh: India, Pak only teams capable of ousting Australia Bullshit...any of the top 8 teams can knock off each other. Link to comment
yoda Posted February 21, 2007 Share Posted February 21, 2007 Re: Waugh: India, Pak only teams capable of ousting Australia Ind, WI, Eng, NZ, SAF and Bang are all capable of knocking off Aus. Link to comment
kabira Posted February 21, 2007 Share Posted February 21, 2007 Re: Waugh: India, Pak only teams capable of ousting Australia They have super 8 so team that is consistent will reach semis... I would like to have best of 3 semifinals and finals...They removes luck factor to some extent Link to comment
jf1gp_1 Posted February 21, 2007 Share Posted February 21, 2007 Re: Waugh: India, Pak only teams capable of ousting Australia If you look at the WC format, top 2 teams that make it to semis will be the ones who are most likely to win the cup, to qualify as 1 or 2 you would have played good cricket in opening round and super 8 and shown some level of consistency. No 3 and 4 are a lottery 2 good games and you are in semi's. That is the problem with world cricket so few teams and all you need is a couple of games. Eng winning the VB series is an example.

I cant find the link but i am sure i have read it and because you carry forward your points you dont play the team you played in first round during super 8. Link to comment
kabira Posted February 21, 2007 Share Posted February 21, 2007 Re: Waugh: India, Pak only teams capable of ousting Australia you are right jf1gp1...just read official rules...You do carry points.. So its imperative for India to win against Lanka.. Link to comment

King Posted February 21, 2007 Share Posted February 21, 2007 Re: Waugh: India, Pak only teams capable of ousting Australia I don't know why Mark Waugh rates India and Pakistan this highly but I can understand the sentiment. I have couple of Aussie friends and he they reckon India and Pakistan are the only ones capable of beating the Aussies. They don't quite rate the rest as much. I think NZ and WI have the best chances against Aus in the WC. Link to comment
Holysmoke Posted February 21, 2007 Share Posted February 21, 2007 Re: Waugh: India, Pak only teams capable of ousting Australia guys, its not steve, its mark who said this. Link to comment

ali0786 Posted February 22, 2007 Share Posted February 22, 2007 Re: Waugh: India, Pak only teams capable of ousting Australia ODI wins are anybody's guesses ... the team that does well on THAT day will be the winner .... doesnt necessarily mean that its the best team .... What we need is Test Match Worldcup to identify the true king. well the team that wins the world cup can atleast be called the best ODI team in the world... and for test matches it would be too long...I think if they do have it, they should have a test championship between top 4 or maybe 5 teams..not all 8.
