Who do you think is going to win Champions trophy / Mini World Cup for 2006. My vote goes for Australia. There is no team in the competition who can be even compared to them. Regarding India, we all know that we should now stop expecting anything from the team. If they have to struggle to make out 125 i guess they should have played for qualifying rounds.
I can't really see past Australia at the moment, Paksistan and India are both in with a good shout too. I'd just like England to win a game
Pakistan are almost out now without a play, Inzamam isnt playing, Asif and Akhthar tests positive for doping and ruled out of the championshiop. So Australia seems to have no competition at all.
I just noticed about the drug tests after I posted the reply. If that's the case then they're out of it too. They won't miss Akhtar that much, but Asif is a big loss to them.
Asif was a sensational bowler, Just a year old in world cricket he had destroyed most of the fearsome batting attacks of the world. A real big blow.
Pakistan is not in the list :O Even they are missing some strength but they have the power to win the mini.
Aussies are favorite. Its real hard for Pakistan to win now after Shoaib & Asif ban but I still have fingers crossed.
Pakistan have no chance now, they are a great team and but this is a hopeless situation for them. Noone will be able to concentrate.
It's gonna be either India or Sri lanka for sure, can't see any other team winning it (since they are playing in the indian subcontinent). -- I don't see any chance of pakistan winning this one, specially without their three top players (shoaib,asif, inzi)
