What are your ICC World Cup 2015 predictions for the Asian teams?

[BDforever]

They did. The question is how many matches and how many years did it take BD to draw a test?

I know you support your team and given the format BD will make QF. But QF is as far as you go.

from 2011-2014 ( no test yet in 2015): 20 tests:- 5 draws and 4 wins

btw it is not Test world cup, it is ODI world cup (i think u mistook it)

90% chance that all Asian teams will not go beyond QF. Australia has 40% chance of winning this world cup while New Zealand and SA have 25% each and 10% for rest all.

BD played its first test match in 2000 which they lost to India. In 2004/05 after 29 test defeats BD won its first test match against Zimbabwe. Then in 2009 BD won two test matches against a C-grade WI team which had none of the big name players. Then in 2014/15 BD won three test matches against Zimbabwe again.

So in total 14 years BD won 6 test matches against weak and depleted sides, drawn three matches and lost 67 test matches.

ODI record for BD is not that great either. They have scored one or two upsets but they are considered "upset" because nobody expected BD team to win the match. The day BD is considered a favorite against the likes of India, Australia, SL is the day BD has been promoted into a serious cricket playing side. Currently all test playing teams consider BD as a more evolved form of net-practice.

2015 WC is not far away. When the test playing teams hammer BD for 300+ scores you will get the point.

Australia looks the best team so far. Closely followed by SA and NZ. Rest of the teams are there just to make up the numbers.

Not really. They beat India in boht one days and were gave tough time to Australia as matches were close with them

Defeating India means nothing. In India's current form any team can beat India. England lost to Australia just as badly as India did and that means very bad news for them.

I follow cricket closely and England seem better bowling side on these conditions. We will see

 

[Indian Patriot]

Their bowling was not so great in the recent series. They will do better than India no doubt but it is doubtful they will proceed beyond QF.

 

[Anubis]
