Bearing in mind that T20 is a bit of a lottery and last time around Bangladesh knocked out India and the West Indies incredibly managed to qualify ahead of us on some technicality, the T20 should be a bit of fun.
Group A
- India
- Bangladesh
- Ireland
- Pakistan
- England
- Netherlands
Group C
- Australia
- Sri Lanka
- West Indies
- New Zealand
- South Africa
- Scotland
Put some money down on SA as well just to keep things interesting...
Of the sides I reckon those in with a reasonable shout have to be Australia, South Africa, India, New Zealand and the West Indies. I think the rest are really there to make up the numbers.... until Pakistan prove me wrong.
Anybody else out there got any favourites / thoughts for this competition?

Yeah I am looking forward to it and am pretty chuffed with the line-up of sides. No team are T20 specialists yet, so having Aus in a pool with the Windies and SL isn't that big an issue.
More blokes like the low ranked teams who may find it a little tricky out there.
So I am excited because this is the balanced format, but as an Aussie supporter I do hope they put in a much better performance this time around. The Windies will be the challenge, confident we can crush SL again.
I reckon Aus need the specialists from the KFC Big Bash, but that into consideration:
AUS, SA, IND & WI are my semi final candidates.
Not New Zealand in there? I reckon they could be quite a handy T20 side as well...
Interesting to see how people have dismissed the Poms and not really showing any interest in Pakistan either.
The Kiwis are chokers. I really don't fancy their chances of the semi's for some reason. But I cannot deny they really are stepping up very, very well in ODI and T20 cricket.
England, nah, they're hopeless.
Yup some big hitters and Vettori a top class bowler in this format...
