[smash84]

The way Pak are playing against NZ at the moment and they carry this form in the WC I think they should make the semis

 

[Burgey]

USA aren't in it mate, they're stuck in Division 73 or something of the WCL.

Where England should be in ODIs tbf.

Finalists / Semi - Finalists India ,Australia ,Srilanka ,Bangladesh .India vs Srilanka Final

Player Of The Tournament - Shane Watson / Sachin Tendulkar

Top Run Scorer - Sachin Tendulkar

Top Wicket Taker - Harbhajan Singh / Muralitharan

Surprise Package - Bangladesh making the Semi's.

Surprise Failures - SA or England getting knocked out early.

AOP (any other predictions) - Shakib and Tamim having a good world cup with bat and ball(both for Shakib).
The world cup will be lower scoring than most are expecting.

Most Predictions on Track so far.

Got the Final Spot on.

The England getting knocked out early prediction almost happened too.But West Indies Choked.

Also the World cup has been lower scoring than most expected and Sachin is on track to be the top run getter.

Was wrong on the top wickettaker (unless Murali picks up a 6fer in the final) and Tamim and somewhat Shakib though.

Would be interesting to see how others have done.

 

[smash84]

dead wrong about Pakistan though

 

[NUFAN]

Winners India
Finalists / Semi - Finalists India and Pakistan in the final, semi final Australia and Sri Lanka
Player Of The Tournament Tillakaratne Dilshan
Top Run Scorer Gautam Gambhir
Top Wicket Taker Wahab Riaz

I'm fairly happy with my predictions so far, particularly Dilshan.

I was pumped the other day when Wahab FINALLY bowled well.

 

[marc71178]

The forumers World Cup will prove to be a big hoax

Got this one bang on the money.

 

[turnstyle]

Winners - Sri Lanka
Finalists/Semi-Finalists - South Africa (Semis - Pakistan & England)
Player Of The Tournament - Dilshan
Top Run-Scorer - Dilshan
Top Wicket-Taker - Rusty Theron
Surprise Package - Cooper and ten Doeschate to ton up somewhere. Bangladesh are a handfull at home.
Surprise Failures - Even with absolutely everything in their favour, India still don't manage to win. k.o by Bangladesh again just for the hilarity of it.
Any Other Predictions Tendulkar announces his retirement. The tournament is once again labeled a disgrace again due to it's length. 2015 is confirmed to be the last 50 over World Cup. Most people are happy because Australia didn't win.

2/4. I'm **** so i'll take that.

 

[Hurricane]

Got this one bang on the money.

[Edged&Taken]
