The WC kicked off today with its first official match. Although it'll be extremely premature to predict a winner, lets start off by listing out the probable semi-finalists:
India
Sri-Lanka
West Indies (yes i DID say this even before their victory over Pakistan today)
Australia
India, I believe, have a really good team considering the pitches in the Carribean; ditto for Sri Lanka. And of course, I am a die hard fan, so i would have included them in my fav's list even if they had a crappy team. Sri Lanka have won a good percentage of their recent matches and have a re-born Jayasurya who is in top form once again. The war horse will probably be the most dangerous all-rounder this cup. West Indies being the home team are well aware of the home conditions and the correct strategy to use. Brian Lara I am sure will give everything to win this tournament, this being his last. And the lynchpin of WI batting Ramnaresh Sarwan makes all the difference to their batting. Now, I include Australia only because they are THE most professional team today.
Finally, my bet's on India.
