Who will win the cricket World Cup - Poll

[namefield_empty]

I think India will win worldcup. They are strong team

I don't think we will, our lower middle order is a joke, can't rely on Rohit-Dhawan-Kohli all the time but the bowling looks world class. I was reading on cricinfo comments made by our batting coach, the legendary Sanjay Bangar that India should not look to hit more boundaries and play risk free cricket. That idiot needs to know that scores of 350 plus ain't safe in England and playing tuk-tuk won't get us anywhere.

 

[Metanoia]

England or India this time around, definitely not Pakistan, unfortunately.

I believe Pakistan will surely play semi final. We need to improve fielding, catches wins the matches, Our boys need to work hard. Our batting is improved. Just need to improve fielding to support bowlers. We dropped to many catches in England series.
In this worldcup, Yes Anything less than 350 is not safe. And it is not easy as it seems to target 350 in every match.

Pakistan has put together a fantastic all-round team over the last couple of years quietly under the radar. I haved loved watching your team perform so well in the eighties and nineties, this young team has all the ingredients to be a world beater in the coming years. Much better than our overhyped Indian team in ODIs and T20I. Too bad that we aren't playing cricket anymore these days, fans are being robbed of Ind-Pak cricketing rivalry.

Pakistan is as always an enigma
Never rule us out.
We win when there is no hope

 

[hasnainfirst]

You won't be saying that on 17th June

We'll see about that

 

[Pakhtoon yum]

Agreed.

We need to focus on sports that are native to Pakistan and very pakistani in nature
Like polo, archery, wrestling, etc

Kabaddi? It was a shame during last year's Asiad when Iran trumped both Pakistan and India to win the men's and women's Kabaddi Gold.

I agree that we need to develop local or native sports as well but the definition of native is very ill-defined. Can you say archery is native to Pakistan? I guess it came from outside.. perhaps from central Asia with Mughal or from some other side.
If you want to make an international mark then you need to play games like football, cricket, hockey, tennis etc which are popular all over the world.

Why is that a shame?

sports that are native to Pakistan

That's not a correct approach, new sport genres have to be encouraged, you might never know when people fall in love with the sport. And i am saying this from my personal experiences of interacting with those who have won medals for India(NE India to be precise).

Why is that a shame?

Because Kabaddi is our bastion, India and Pakistan's. Shame in the sense that Iran inspite of under all kinds of sanctions win more medals in world sporting events than the entire South Asia combined.

 

[Men in Green]

England vs India Final England will win.
Pakistan will be kicked out in group stages.

 

[newb3e]

not Pakistan!

And what? The people of indus and other of our civilizations didnt use bows? The civilizations within Pakistan and then those that migrated from the middle east and central Asia, have always been war like people. Heck we still are war like people, just look at our short temperament.

India? Are you sure it wasnt introduced by invaders into India
Kabaddi is very much middle eastern

New Zealand and England are in good form, and each have a decent chance - one of these IMO, but upsets are possible in pressure games.
