I want South Africa to win...Australia/New Zealand going too strong with Home advantage...India/Pakistan(Me) likely to make it to semis at best...England/Srilanka can always be hopeful...

Nope, a real cricket lover would want to see Ashes series or SA v Aus tests... Test cricket, if played between monster teams is the best...
I wanted India to win..but at the current form it is difficult.
South africa and Australia have equal chance in this world cup. Australia already have 4 cups...So I wanted a different team to win this world cup. New zealand or Southafrica.

India sucks at this point. Let us all agree , We won't bring it back. Too much sucking to explain where. Not semi worthy, unless extremely lucky.
My bet for semis is on Australia, South Africa, New Zealand, England and Sri Lanka.
Although I would prefer South Africa, Australia are the favourites. I just hate England's attitude and although they have a solid bowling line up.

Rooting for Australia. They're probably going to win anyway as they have been in excellent form lately. Lol

South Africa and New Zealand is up there unless their pressure on semi-finals come into play and Australia is a good sides as well and Pakistan, England and India ( though they're the winners of last world cup ) will be dark horses this time .
and If you consider Sri Lanka, we are capable of winning this world cup but there's issues that need to be solved : first one middle order is not among runs ( Angelo Mathews excluded ) secondly our all rounder Thisara Perera is not at his best and thirdly Balling and fielding must come to it's best and as a Sri Lankan my hope is they may be able do it :yeah: and we lost the world cup twice now

This time SA is the top contender for the world cup. But that's the point, they are always the top contender going into the world cup.
I think Australia look like second favourites followed closely by NZ since this is home turf for them.
Also Zimbabwe is the wild card in this world cup - considering their performance agains Sri-lank in the practice matches. And the fact that they beat Aus recently (even if it was autralia's B team).
England has an outside chance if Anderson gets his swing going right.
I would really love India to do well, but the team seams to be marred with internal struggle ever since kohli became the test captain and they sent Ravi shanstri into the dressing room. It is like there are two different teams within a team.

Australia, South Africa and New Zealand are the clear favourites after seeing the warm up matches. India, England and Sri Lanka are in the 2nd tier, but all have massive problems. India have an inexperienced side who are not used to the bouncy wickets of antepodian conditions. England have never done particularly well at World Cups, and as much as I would like Sri Lanka to do well, they have been inconsistent in the New Zealand tour. Furthermore, they played like shit by losing to Zimbabwe in a warmup. But, I pick Australia to win.

don't Underestimate Zimbabwe ,Bangladesh and West Indies . They have in them to upset big teams particularly a pressure game where the top Tier have to win no matter what .
I see Bangladesh a improves side . If i can bet them they might cause big upset in this tournament and can also reach Semifinal Stages .

Anyways from what I can see, Aussies are favorites.

The teams you mentioned could all cause an upset or two like you said, but they definitely aren't consistent enough to take out the title.

I think, they gave a chance to those not in form and i do think. it's a good thing to make mistakes now than later non the less Masakadza's inning was what brought them the win and other two who got fifties and hope Sri Lanka come back strongly in the tournament .
and ones who gonna play well and make less mistakes on the day will win and the team reminds me of India in 2011 world cup, they were considered strong in batting not so in other departments yet they became the winner of it .
