It'd have been a big success for ICC!

But, ICC don't fancy big money anymore, so they fixed that particular match and India lost to English team intentionally, just to keep Pakistan out. Tongue

.............sarcasm and not rubbing it

I remember a couple of posters were saying with conviction that it's Aus vs Eng final in the end. guess it was @vella? Facepalm!

Regarding Semis, it's no cakewalk for any team, I am hoping for a competitive clash between all of them. English and Kiwis have a habit of choking in big tournaments, let's see if they manage to cross the line this time. kiwis wining the world cup is upset IMHO.

My fav teams are still same for the World Cup winner.

Hey Guys,

My favorite team for World cup is England because this team looks very balanced to me. they bat deep, got a couple of good allrounders and playing in their backyard. those days are gone when the host team used to lose in every world cup.

Other than the Eng team, India is doing pretty good if they manage to get their combination right for playing X1 they no one can stop this team.
I would not be very surprised if India and England playing finals against each other.

Australia is the underdog in this World cup or to some extent Afganistan too. this team can surprise any team in their day, they showed the determination in Asia cup.

Newzealand and Proteas are good teams too but they don't give much confidence as a team.

Personally, I would like to see Ind vs Pak in the world cup final. if it happens then everyone can imagine the excitement in the cricketing World and for sure lockdown in both countries during the match.

PS : Australia was underdog because they were in very rough patch during that time.
