Comfortable win for New Zealand. I have a feeling the 2nd game will be a washout, a lot of rain/thunderstorms predicted. Otherwise Aus win

Yeah, can see both of them being comfortable wins, too.

Really expect NZ to get to the final four.

Hopefully they can get enough play in.

Same, NZ look very strong, especially in home conditions. Even though they lost their warm up game against ZIM can still see them getting very far.

Williamson is one of the players to watch for me.

Him and McCullum make them dangerous. Just wonder if they have what it takes to get over their 'semi-final' mentality barrier.

Yeah Williamson is key to their success. Their batting line up looks strong, especially with Taylor in form too.

West Indies have Gayle in their Squad, we all know what happen's when he plays


Yeah, **** all. The guy is washed up. He'll probably make runs against the non-test playing nations and in no pressure situations. As soon as he faces anyone decent or is in a pressure situation, he'll let you down.

Just saw Warne being interviewed and it was chucking it down. Hope this weather doesn't mess up the opening games, especially India v Pakistan! Staying up for that one.

Solid prep by Afridi and Shehzad, checking out the clubs!
