India's whitewash in NZ has made this very interesting, just like the Eng vs SL WC game.
Who'd you see in the WTC finals?
My predictions for the following -
• SL vs Eng (2 tests) - 0-2 - Eng 120 points • Eng vs WI (3 tests) - 3-0 - Eng 120 points • Eng vs Pak (3 tests) - 2-0 - Eng 93 points • Bang vs Aus (2 tests) - 0-1 - Aus - 80 points • Aus vs Ind (4 tests) - 2-0 - Aus - 80 points, Ind - 20 points • NZ vs Pak (2 tests) - 1-0 - NZ - 80 points • NZ vs WI (3 tests) - 3-0 - NZ - 120 points • Ind vs Eng (5 tests) - 4-0 - Ind - 104 points, Eng - 8 points • Bang vs NZ (2 tests) - 0-1 - NZ - 80 points • SA vs Aus (3 tests) - 1-2 - Aus - 80 points
I've kept Pak to make dents in Eng and NZ, not by winning games but getting a draw. Eng's weather might contribute to a draw too.
Bang to make a similar dent by drawing one game at home each vs NZ and Aus.
The 2 biggies of the summer - Aus to win vs India but MCG, SCG are roads and draws. Eng to scrape 1 draw in a horrible tour of India.
Lastly, SA to get 1 win vs Aus but they win the series.
What does it do to the WTC table -
• Aus - 296 pts - 80 + 80 + 80 - 536 points • Ind - 360 pts - 20 + 104 - 484 points • NZ - 180 pts - 80 + 120 + 80 - 460 points • Eng - 146 pts - 120 + 120 + 93 + 8 - 487 points
By the barest of margins I see an Aus vs Eng final at Lord's.
The WTC's 2nd phase has all the potential to be epic
Make your predictions - Eng have a far better chance when you see all their games left. NZ with one series sweep across Pak or Bang can knock both India and Eng out.
