Milk and the Netherlands
The Dutch are big on the production of milk and milk products. Most districts produce their own unique cheese and open cheese flea markets are a big social event. But look, the Dutch cricket team seems to be sponsored by Amul! Its funny.

I haven’t seen Ireland, Canada, Netherlands or Kenya play recently… But I liked how the Irish played last time

Ireland have been playing like champions in the ICC trophy for a while now.

I think it’s quite possible to see an upset like that because I feel the standards of the minnows have improved and the standards for some test playing nations have come down a few notches. So the gap is smaller than what it used to be.
Australia is no longer invincible, though it still has a formidable bowling attack and an in form Watson.
India is the only nation which has improved but the bowling is still a little weak.
Sri Lanka and Pakistan are unpredictable and can make any side look silly–sometimes themselves.
After the Ashes England were hailed as the next big thing and favorites along with India to lift the cup.
But then they forgot that Test cricket is not one day cricket.
As usual West Indians and Kiwis are here to promote tourism and Zimbabweans are here to write home about their experiences of a phenomenon called “Lunch”.
The Proteas have a tough looking side just like all their previous sides so it’s not unusual that most of us are counting on them to choke just like all their previous sides.
So basically, ya I think the championship is open and it’s anyone’s cup of Chai.

Ha Ha Ha West Indians and Kiwis are here to promote tourism?? Aren’t you being a bit harsh on them.. especially the kiwis.. But well said…. I myself don’t feel Team India are favorites… Yes they are in with a good chance.. but there are a lot of teams who will keep getting better over the tournament… and don’t count Australia out just yet… If there’s one thing they know a thing or two about, its how to win world cups… sri lanka is also a good team. i feel… they have a well balanced batting and bowling unit
