I wish someone could send this to that flog Piers Morgan next time he bags Australia at this World Cup.

5 x Champions and none went to a super over.

My rankings
1 India
2 England
3 New Zealand
4 Pakistan
5 South Africa
6 Australia
7 Sri Lanka
8 Bangladesh
9 Afghanistan
10 Netherlands

I think India v England final, there's not a huge amount between teams 3 and 9.

I think India v England final, there's not a huge amount between teams 3 and 9.

Hard to argue.

I maintain though a semi final appearance should be the bare minimum and then see what happens against probably either India or England in a one off games come Semi final time.

 

[King-Gutho94]

Btw are we going back to 14 teams next ODI world cup.

I am craving more Namibia v Scotland content tbh.

 

[Bazal]

We won't go in as fave but I'm backing us. Despite all our issues and plod all rounders, it's a World Cup and we own World Cups.

 

[AlwaysGreen]

A huge blow apparently:

Huge blow to who exactly?

 

[TheParraboy]

The thing is...
We need to win 6 from 9 preliminary games I reckon to make the semis
As long as we dont shit the bed with a poor R/R (think home T20 WC) , we should waltz into the last 4 with 6 wins.

Really a matter of playing our best in November, the semi and the final

I tip an India (1) v Australia (4) semi final.

England (2)v New Zealand (3) in the other.

 

[Fangs]

Wild card is Pakistan. Would be great for cricket to see them pump team India.

 

[TheParraboy]

Oct 14 Ind v Pak

What odds Pakistan win that preliminary game and also a semi or final if they were to meet again?

Surely 500/1?

 

[TheParraboy]

I tip an India (1) v Australia (4) semi final.

England (2)v New Zealand (3) in the other.

Fair call

Aust v Kiwi FINAL ?

 

[AlwaysGreen]

Pakistan have a woeful record v India in world cups.

 

[Twizzle]

we'll kick arse, we seem to come good at the right time in these cups

 

[TheParraboy]

Getting Head

 

[Twizzle]

Head is a big inclusion

 

[King-Gutho94]

At least the selectors came to there senses and picked Marnus.

 

[AlwaysGreen]

That team doesn't scream champions to me. Semi finalists I'd say.
