WTC - Make your predictions

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.
