Too early to get this going? I thought with the squad being announced today (17:30 on Supersport), it was as good as time as any to get it started. Unlike my opinion on the Boks' prospects at the RWC later this year, I believe that this is one of our better opportunities at finally bagging the top piece of ICC silverware.

Pools as follows:

Pool A

England
Australia
Sri Lanka
Bangladesh
New Zealand
Afghanistan
Scotland

Pool B (Pool of Death!)

South Africa
India
Pakistan
West Indies
Zimbabwe
Ireland
United Arab Emirates

Massive score thus far Aus 346/8 after 45.2 vs India. Maxwell retiring on 128. Are these warm up games official in terms of records?

Aus are in unbelievable form at the moment! I think they've peaked too soon but let's assume they maintain this standard throughout their world cup campaign. Almost impossible to beat!

When is our warm up matches against Sri Lanka and NZ? NZ are another team playing outstanding cricket at the moment!

Why aren't the South African warmup games going to be broadcast? Monochoice can afford the aussie warmup game but ours being ignored...

Only games involving the BCCI or their chums will crack the nod.
