    It's simple. The crickets have these clothes on them that somehow control them. Also, they aren't just ordinary crickets. These crickets were given birth by people, and have trained for many years (like people) to play this game. Check it out.

    Well, I think any team in the top 8 are contenders, I mean -
    South Africa - Now the #1 One Day Team in the World, definitely strong contenders.
    Australia - #2 Team in the world, with Ricky Ponting, Adam Gilchrist and Andrew Symonds back are certain to be strong contenders.
    Sri Lanka - Always a great team with players such a Muttiah Muralitharan, Chaminda Vaas, Sanath Jayasuria, Marvin Attapattu and Kumar Sangakarra, good chance to win the cup.
    New Zealand - Had some pretty stunning form lately and I would tip them to continue it. McMillan will no doubt be a match-winner for them, I think Jacob Oram will be good with the bat and Stephen Fleming will lead them by example.
    England - Will go in as underdogs but may cause a bit of an upset.. they have talent in their camp.
    Pakistan - If they can get their things together and find some consistant form, not just one off form that they have been getting lately. The loss of Shoaib Akhtar and Mohammed Asif could cost them deerly.
    India - Has a team full of stars and I'll be surprised if they aren't a strong force in the world cup.
    Kenya - Not positive on their current standing, but I think they may sneak through to some of the later stages of the tournament if they can pull something off, doubt they will get through to the final though.

    I think the favourites are still the Australian's though, their batting has been terrific, it's just with Glenn McGrath getting older and Brett Lee not playing, they need someone to stand up and take the reins of the bowling attack.

    With their recent tour of New Zealand for the Chapell-Hadlee Trophy, Australia's most experience fast bowler in the line-up was Nathan Bracken.. I honestly think didn't take the reins, bowled poorly and didn't give much support. If that's how he is going to perform, Stuart Clark deserves to be in the line-up.

    This brings up another point - Stuart Clark should have been selected in the first place! Stuart Clark is the best fast bowler Australia has to offer, maybe even the best bowler Australia has now that Shane Warne has retired. People may argue that Glenn McGrath was better, sure he was, but that was years ago, and we all know he is well past his prime. Anyway, I think Stuart Clark would have been a wise selection Australia could have made, and would have been the ideal person to take the reins of the bowling attack.

    But anyway, I'm supporting Australia, seeing as I am an Australian, but I think that South Africa will take it from us.
