My Opinion CWC07:
1.Overall a good tournament for bangladesh
2.Failed to capitalise against IRE & WI in super 8
3.Batting failures on many occassions
4.Overall Bowling was good throughout the tournament.
5.Bowling failed only against SL,AUS,NZ.
6.Fielding was superb throughout the tournament.
My Expectaion CWC11:
1.Qualify for QuaterFinals.
2.Win against NED,IRE,WI.If possible against IND ,SA,ENG in the group stage.
3.If they enter QF possible opponenets will be one amongst AUS,PAK,SL,NZ.
4.My Guess
Group A-SL(a1),AUS(a2),PAK(a3),NZ(a4)
Group B-SA(b1),IND(b2),ENG(b3),BAN(b4)
5.Most possibily QF clash with SL or AUS
6.Be physically & mentally well prepared for all the matches
