    Damn I wish I could go see a game down in the West Indies.

    But yes nice to see Pakistan lose, and hopefully the Indian team gets their **** together and shows up like they did in the last world cup.

    I can't speak for the others but I am. It's like any other international tournament, you root against your natural rivals. Nothing against Pakistan, but here I'd rather see them lose just like any Rockets fan would love to see the Mavs stumble.

    Will be interesting to see what Australia does when Symonds returns. They are set on Watson playing yet Hodge has secured his spot you would think.

    Hopefully they can take out the tournament and send off McGrath and you would be pretty safe to say this would be Gilly's last WC

    Watch out for the Kiwis. New Zealand just had an amazing series of one day matches against Australia a few weeks ago. The Black Caps are pretty fired up (not that I know much about cricket, but I watched these matches and it was inspiring).

    Pakistan have nothing to offer. No bowling and their openers suck!
    India team is inconsistent and will need miracles to pass SA and Aus.
    W. Indies have a young team so they will need full support from home crowd.
    New Zealand will choke again in semis.
    No hope for England.
    Sri Lanka has good pitching but their bating requires more.
    SA and Aus are your finalists.
    And SA finally wins their 1st ever World Cup.

    My final prediction.
    Aus 268
    SA wins by 4 wkts.

    Someone would have to pay Pakistan enough money not to lose. Oh wait! Lol.

    Cricket is not cricket without a good match fixing scandal.

    I just cant get into this World Cup....maybe it will draw me in when the important games come alone.

    I will say this though, if we (Australia) play RSA in the final we WILL beat them. They will fold under pressure like they always do!
