Well friends its that time again, the showcase of one day cricket is about to begin. Here is a thread to dicuss all aspects of the series.
I'm obviously backing the reining world champs, Australia, but I don't think they will have it all their way this time around.
Here are the groups and the game dates. ICC Cricket World Cup 2007 - Cricket Australia
First game, Australia V Scotland, hmm could be close

Country:  | I believe Canada is sending a team the only reason I know is that a local sports station is trying to teach us about the game
