The Czech Republic are my darkhorse for the tournament. I hope the Aussies do well, but it will be hard to get past Brazil in our group. I'm expecting England, Spain, Italy and France to be right up there along with Argentina come the knockout stages.

Anyone else looking forward to the FA Cup Final this weekend between Liverpool and West Ham? I'm hoping Liverpool can finish the season on a high. Our experience in big games should give us the edge over West Ham. It's a pity Robbie Fowler is inelligible to play.

Collingwood have decided to "rest" their captain, Nathan Buckley from this week's trip to Perth to face the Eagles. Also in breaking news, Carlton are flat broke.

I think it's a good tournament, but perhaps they could look at staging it once every 4 years with a 2 year gap between the World Cup and Champions Trophy. This would then allow the ICC to stage a Twenty20 World Cup every 2 years during the other years which don't have a major ODI tournament.

Cricket games are always better when playing against someone who will use different tactics against you and also take the runs when they're on offer. The computer can only be made so smart.

Adelaide are a fantastic side with a very good coach in Neil Craig, but I think Geelong can match it with them when it counts. We were able to beat them in the NAB Cup over in Adelaide with half our best side out, so we should be fairly confident.

Katich seems to have the most trouble juding a quick single to mid on and mid off. I haven't seen running between the wickets as bad as that since Inzy and Ranatunga.
