Zimbabwe will win the next Cricket World Cup

Well, after today, they seem to be a long way off beating an ING Cup team, let alone challenging to be the worlds best. I think that Zimbabwe do have some good players in their team, and can spring the odd upset, and have a team that could make the Super 6's in the next World Cup... but thats about it.

Kenya do have a good team too, but it must be remembered that they benefited from a couple of forfeits courtesy of some country's choosing not to go to Nairobi for security reasons, and only had to win one of their games to qualify for the Super 6's. Having said that, the one game that they had to win was against Sri Lanka, which is quite the scalp. And they did beat the Windies in the '96 World Cup, so they can too spring the odd surprise. Like Zimbabwe, they have a team that could make it to the second stage, but that's about it.

If they develop, and Heath Streak is still playing and all non - minnow counties don't play then I'll rate them a chance :p

Kenya don't have enough money that's why they don't have test status I think. Zimbabwe need to train and learn from the aussies.

Yes they did benefit from a couple of forfeits. But they beat 3 test playing nations in the process of making the World Cup semi Final. These being Zimbabwe, Sri Lanka (like you said) and Bangladesh.

Lets face it, Bangladesh, a test playing nation could not even win one game and they faced heavy weights such as Canada.

Yes Carriebean

Dont mean to sound petty but it is Caribbean.

Here's how they do it:

- Shoot Mugabe
- Offer A.Flower $1,000,000
- Bring back Brian Murphy
- Clone Heath Streak ten times (should do that now)

If that doesnt work, go to Mumbai and look for a man named 'John'...
