From what ive seen so far I think the favs have to be NZ, Aus, and India. But of course early days. Windies look to be finding form. All about peaking at the right moment.

It is between NZ and Aus. India are might have a sniff because they have so much support, but I don't think they are good enough to challenge Aus and NZ. Windies won't challenge, they just are too weak. South Africa don't have BMT, and won't challenge for the cup. SA easily have the team to challenge, but they don't have the championship winning mentality.

The Black Caps are the team to beat.

Yeah but we've always choked come Semis time! I think it's 5 times in the semis and zero Finals appearances for us. Still there's always this time.....

The NZ penetrating bowling attack is the best...and this aspect in WC cricket that is the crucial weapon...ofcourse you have to bat well but you can generally, in fact most times only bat well without building pressure which reaches it's boiling point in cricket in knock out's...rugby of course has similar psychologies but I agree the Black Caps are my favourites to win...well let's see if my forecast is correct.

SA should still have a chance if we are lucky enough to win the toss for the crunch games.

After SA's performance yesterday...I saw a spark of hope for us but this is going to change...in fact the game as I already mentioned goes on the main emphasis of attack in the bowling and this the Black Caps are proving right now...they are my prediction to win this cup...yes Cloudy you gonna be proud....they must do this as a huge tribute to Martin Crowe...a cricketer of very high standards, indeed one of the very best in the world and definitely the best in NZ.
I would love SA to win but if we cannot my second wish is for the Black Caps.
However come the RWC...I want the French to beat the AB's again......Cloudy are we still friends?
