All cricket pundits are saying that Englang is fav. have you already figure it out England and Indian team combination? you are ignoring bangladesh team. they can surprise any team too. just like 2007 world cup lol

India :  Yes

England : Still have some reservation on All rounder -wicket-keeper batsman.

Australia : Image is not clear atm due to Warner-Smith duo

South Africa: Even they are not sure about their 15 member squad.

New Zealand : Not much drastic change or any surprise here, a more or less same squad who played against India

Pakistan : Rab Janne (God knows) if they can put politics aside for a small period of time then they are all set.
 

What about bangladesh? you didn't gave any thought on this. again ignoring Bangaladesi players hehehe. and what do you mean by england problem? is it because they are playing with 3 wicket keeper who can bat also?

May be 2nd round? I do not see them will do better than this. English condition is cold for them. In the very recent time Bangladesh is not performing well. If you see their NZ tour then it's clear. They have lost all three ODIs.

Bangladesh team has some good players but recently I have seen they have problems with their top order batsmen.

Though the current form of BD is not very good but they are dangerous for amy team in the world.In NZ tour thier key player Sakib is injured so that is a blow for them.I think BD will start thier world cup with fresh and made an Impact on WC2019.

One big news has come out, Indian cricket team has decided to boycott the match against Pakistan if Indian government gives the order to the team. If India didn't play against Pakistan automatically the bonus points will be credited to Pakistan. By 27th Feb BCCI meeting is gonna take place in Dubai and we can get the confirmed statement regarding the same by that time.

[reflector]

I thought to open this discussion unfortunately someone took it. Now seeing every team has begun planning for this year world cup matches and would look get their best 11+4 playing squad right particularly England team. It is imperative to have the reasonable side and having couple of all rounders in the group would simply make them increasingly more grounded.
Additionally with current diverse arrangement occurring among various nations can simply resemble a training match to get the players structure and procedure took note.

Yes Correct. Bangladeshi team playing sloppy cricket in Nz . no one expecting them to do well. i am not supporter because what they did in Srilanka was shameless but but they can upset any team in their day.

Oh my bad bud. I hope you did not get offended.

I am glad that you liked it.

I think in recent time Bangladesh is not doing well. May be they are missing their key player Sakib like the other user mentioned here. It will be interesting to see their moves before the World cup.

You got countdown timer and schedule of the tournament into OP but you are still missing out the major part of this discussion that must be providing few direct link to betting sites where we are able to bet on cricket matches. I guess most sportsbetting sites are not yet preparing themselves for this big event of cricket followers and cricket betters hence my suggestion may sound like too early one.

[reliable]

England has come back strongly and so is SL as well as in their previous matches they had won where England chase 350+ in one day match against the WI and SL had won against SA fro a tough situation where their loss was sure. If such matches continue to take place anybody could win the matches on that particular day.

That would be a good idea. I hope Raja will update sooner. OP is looking nice with the countdown. I didn't notice that before reading your reply.

I partially agree with you here. England seems like a strong contender to lift the cup along with India in my opinion just like many others, but their key players need to retain their form no matter what.

On the other hand, I don't see Sri Lanka lifting the cup just because they are doing well recently since their team basically is not as great as their past teams. They don't have Murali, Vaas and a Sanga to guide them all the way.

India is my favorite for world cup and they are perfect team too. On the other hand, England seems to play well since they have the benefit of playing in home ground. It's a great chance for them to win the world cup. SL has no chance even.

India and pakistan match is in red flag due to recent terrrorist attacks. and india can boycott the match against pakistan in world cup. if it really happens that means pakistan will get extra points.
What do you guys think about India stance on this and if India boycott this match then can pakistan is in World cup winning race?

I will find some sites and will suggest Raja too add them. May be he is having busy time in real life.

There are nothing especial about England team. They will do better in tournaments but when it's time to take the world cup they will fail. They have proven it many times.

I did not want see that I always enjoyed India vs Pakistan matches. Cricket should not have political interfere.

I agree; the match between India and Pakistan should not be abandoned by India. Cricket is a sport - it has nothing to do with the political situation across the nations.

Sachin Tendulkar would like India to play against Pakistan as well:

I also think India should play against Pakistan. It's not a series in between them it's World Cup and the match matters for other teams as well. We are living in the modern world and we need to separate politics from sports. It does not look nice to me. I respect others views though.

How about India finds Pakistan in the final (hypothetically). Will they decide not to play that match too?

It has nothing to do with cricket. India has already done some crazy stuff and I don't want to see more. I am a fan of Indian cricket team. If India abandon the match, probably I will never watch Indian cricket match anymore. Politics should be stay out of sports. In fact, sport is one of the way to increase friendship/brotherhoodness among countries.

I don’t think India will pull out of this match, if you see matches between these two Asian rivals generate huge amount of money for all the parties, and none will want to loose that. I’m not sure why you would stop watching matches if they decided to skip it, if their government orders they will have to obey it. In the past both countries have interacted via cricket matches, so it’ll be interesting if they can set aside their differences for the sport.
