Who the hell is going to win?

I don't even know whats been happening, I heard Pakistan's coach was murdered in his hotel after their loss to Ireland, is the team pulling out of the Cup? What a shit thing to have happen to a team.

New Zealand is going strong in my opinion, we actually have a batting lineup that is finally doing some consistant hitting. South Africa and Australia are right up there but I've not seen any of their games. Don't they play each other sometime really soon? Australia need Symonds back I reckon, he's a huge contributor. And how do the English here rate their team? I really like hearing about cricket at the moment, not that I'm anywhere up to speed it's just so much more welcoming than the rugby. I think it's crap how the rugby season is taking over as an all year long sport now.

I'll get a poll up and we'll see who reckons what teams will make the finals and win. Oh and tell me if I've left anyone out, I can't remember what the Top 8 teams are at the moment.

You gotta fancy Australia after the way they spanked South Africa today.
I do think New Zealand stand a good chance too they've been pretty impressive from what i've seen.
I think England will slowly get better they have a point to prove after losing to New Zealand and being caught in clubs at 4am.

Oh man, wasn't it Freddy Flintoff who got pissed and capsized a boat that night?

And Aus won? I'm going to go find the score sheet for that one, Ponting probably scored another 100 or something.
