Cricket-mind- howzzat! My prediction of the Cricket World Cup’07

As the countdown to the biggest event in the cricket world ,the world cup’07 ends at the morrow – there will be billions of fans right round the world glued to the events unfolding in the Caribbean islands over the next month & a half. Well, predictions for this world cup is a risky job as most of the heavyweights are closely matched. Still I will stick my head out and predict the possible teams to make it to the semi-finals and of course the eventual winner.
My predictions after the super-eight stage with ranks are:

1) Sri lanka
2) India
3) South Africa
4) Australia
5) New Zealand
6) West Indies
7) Pakistan
8) England

So, the semi-final lineup could be
A) Sri lanka Vs Australia
B) India Vs South Africa

Finals- 28th April’07
Australia Vs India

And hold your breath! Finally India winning this time round, a sweet revenge after four long years.

Lets wait and watch how much of this will be true.. but this is how I see it going. Do spare me if it doesn't workout this way.

Getting Started...

Well, this happens to be my first blog posting. Just trying to get a feel of how should I proceed. I think its a noble concept of having your own personal views being published for everyone to see. Its almost as if every body's printing his/her own newspaper. I do find my self guilty of ignoring suggestions from friends to start my blog & here I am ready to fly. Hope that I can but up a good show. I do confess,I hardly know any thing about 'how should one write a good blog?' but I won't google that, rather I would learn by reading other's blogs.

Hope that in coming weeks and months I do open my mind to this new medium & let others have a sneak into my mind.

Happy Blogging.....
