Make no mistake about it. It will be Aussies all the way. They have won about 21 matches on the trot in the world cup. They are an invincible side at present with the right blend of consistent batting line-up and an aggressive bowling attack with a lot of all-rounders. They have a psychological advantage over all the other teams and this takes them past the opponents very easily. They have not even had a tough match so far in the entire world cup 2007. So, it will certainly be the kangaroos who will romp home with the world cup for the third time in a row and 4th time overall !!!

Since cricket is a game of uncertainties as has been proved on number of occasions, nothing can be predicted for sure about the outcome of a tournament in advance.

While Australia are the only unbeaten team in the present world cup and as such hot favourites to win the cup, I strongly feel that their run of victories will end in the semi finals and South Africa will win the world cup.

Before the World Cup began I was for Sri Lanka. I still expect to come on top them for the reason that they do not play for records, and never care about thier own achievements. My belief has been reinforced now that they rested Murali and Vaas not caring that they could finish on top of bowling list. Australia will not find it easy to get away with these two, if and when these two teams meet for the Final.

Australia is playing very good and they beat SLANKA. Sri Lanka was not at their best becoz of Malinga, Murli and Vaas .
This was a good plan by Slanka. They know that, they can not be number 1 so want to stay 2 or 3. In that case, they will not face Aus in Semi Final. Sometimes Loosing is good tactics. NOW the batsmen of Slanka had experience in WC against Aus but AUs batsmen still have to face Murli, Vaas or Malinga.


Sri Lanka.. New WC Champ--

hi Raski,
though i have a answer sometimes U may not favour this facinated me most
without 3 most influential players,
SRI Lankans shown good attacking crickrt to Oz .3 wickets gone
sangakkara & Sanath lbw
i may call its all "crap" Billy Doctrove Windies Umpire is not suitable to cup finals he is sort of scared to Big Bully OZ players...

Regarding 2007 cricket world cup.
They are in a good shape.They have flair & talent.
S>L> have most varied bowling attack in this cup
new zealand so called favourites found out how strong lankans are .
Now most immportantly they hanve rekindled their ability to win in alien ,overseas conditions.
( such as Carribean conditions)
They proved that in Guyana's newest stadium..
And Granada too...
the hurdle started when they topple high riding Indians.
They defeated star studded Indian team with clinical aproach.
South Africans escaaped unscathed by desimal points.
it was lucky for African part.
As Mahela puts..........."It's time to be ruthless".
Can you remember,..It was supposed to ...be Indian's, world cup this time.
Sachin being senior most he should have waited until right moment comes.
But these blokes from "Sri Lanka" had other ideas.
Furthermore it was 250 runs to get....
Lankans got it by running between wickets.
They have come of age now.
they are cunning as foxes now.
in1996 cup they had this kind of team.

Australian dominance may decline in near fure in front of these fighting Sri Lankans....Nobody knows..
We have solid facts for that....
SL has upper hand...for future games..
Its all the way for Asian Teams
No more 'Old-English-gentelmen' ruling the Cricket World.
But see how they became top of the world right now...
Though they beat india They still had to give their best ever performance..
They almost won with South Africa.,by Malinga heroics.
Now It's Sri Lanka's time to be Called As,...
"Star- studded Cricket team of World cup -2007"
Their.. ballers and fielders taught how to win when you ,balling second time.
When Robin Uthappa and Sourav Ganguly walked in, India had a target of just 255 runs, on a wicket which had dried and gone flatter.
But nobody showed the charactor to stay on,
Anybody can be so sure that ,the turning point was Sachin’s getting out to Big-Fernando, through the gate for a duck.
.Like wise when Vass on full flaw any thing can happen.
History may repeat this time like 1996.
Whatever little chances India had went up in flames ...
when Yuvraj was run out by Lankans.
They made presure on much favoured Indians.
Next,New Zealand & England had felt the presure.

It is really worth analysing the difference among the teams.
. India’s strength was batting and given the proper conditions, their medium pacers and the spinners could be devastating.
If not, Indian's shoulders start drooping and the bowling goes haywire with all kind of experimentations. It could happen to the batting too.

Exactly opposite are Sri Lanka, except that their batting is as good if not better. Other big teams were the big brothers when they started. Now Lankans are the elders.
What an irony. They are better fielders for sure, and the bowlers bowl to the field under any circumstances unless it’s a completely off day for them.

Muralitharan,Vass,Malinga & Dilhara.. is just outstanding. And most importantly, they play as a team and not as individuals.
And that’s the thin line that differentiated the two teams. We saw absolutely no regional biases, despite all kinds of problems in their small country.
They had civil war,& Tsunami.
But still they rise like legendery phinix bird.
So wait,fans more fire works yet to come...
They now have to beat only 3 teams to advance easyly to much awaited semi finals.

My unbias Verdict is Lankans Have 90 percent chance to grab the CUP.
Cuz,... 1996 they hadthis knd of a amazing team..
1996 they had this uncanny luck too.
they are the worthy winners..
