It will be out of England and a very young talented Australia.
What a final that would be.

If India keeps on I improving and they play as a team ( if they ever do), and when they get thier whole full strength squad back with Tendulkar, and I so wish that Tendulkar plays the same way like he did in world cup 96, 03 and sharjah 98. The bowling coming good with pathan and Nhera bowling good spells, and India needs a good leg-spinner which batsmen cant read, then Indias got a chance.
You can't look past australia for 3 in a row. But i've got a feeling that like SL in 95, someone is going to pop up out of the blue and take this one - I like both the Pakistanis and NZ for this one.
I don't think the Aussie one day line-up will change much from where it's at now - I really think Warnie should come out of retirement for this one though, with his new found batting ability.
THe aussies have had the rotation system in place for years - they were given a lot of stick for being up themselves by resting key players during several VB series to give younger players a go. But then look at 2003 - injuries and drug inquiries left the aussies with what seemed a weak looking lineup - but when you have 5-10 players with 50 odd ODI games up their sleeves waiting in the wings, little things like this don't matter. And going into this next world cup, the aussies still have a massive pool of experienced talent (young and old) to choose from - they will be very hard to beat, even if key players succumb to injury.
But watch out for those Kiwis - they are probably still a bowler short of being a powerhouse, but with Bond back in full flight, they are every chance of providing some huge upsets.

I think Warne should still play in odis, hogg isn't a good spinner and he conceds lots of runs, wheras warne can trun the game round into aussie favour, grab vital wickets at vital stages and can conced less runs, warne is quite handy in his batting as well.

I think England has great chance for winning world cup '07 after the win of Ashes.

England have always had a good chance. But it will be interesting this time seeing as they are playing as a 'whole'rash3228 said:I think England has great chance for winning world cup '07 after the win of Ashes.
Viv-richards got a winners medal so as, Imran khan, Wasim akram, S wuagh, Warne, Murali, Rantatunga, De silva, Gavasker, Kapil dev, Miandad, Mcgrath, Border, Holding, Garner got one. Should'nt the great Tendulkar get one ?, will find out in many Indians last world cup ever in 07.

yes it will be interesting to watch..& may i know which players are retiring after the WC 2007iceman_waugh said:

Most probably Anil Kumble will only retire immediately after the WC2007. Sachin and Rahul might play for one more year after the World Cup! Sachin and Rahul are both 32 and have three more years left in them! If Saurav lasts till the Wc2007, he might be another candidate who will retire immediately after the World Cup
