April 1 - We were going to run the headline "Ireland Favourites To Win World Cup Cricket According To Indian Bookmakers", but betting on the 2007 cricket world cup is a matter of life and death these days so we decided against any April Fool's jokes on this subject.

So instead we're running an advice column - do yourself and your sports betting bankroll a huge favour and bet on Australia to retain their World Cup trophy.
Who is going to beat this team? Certainly not England, South Africa, or New Zealand all of whom are psychologically dominated by the Aussies, not to mention the enormous talent gap.
The beauty of the World Cup is that eventually it will come down to one-off knock out contests and those teams certainly have the ability to win a single game against Australia, but not when the chips are down.
The only team that has shown an ability to stand up and be counted at this level is, surprisingly enough, Sri Lanka, but that was on home soil. If the West Indies can qualify from the Elite Eight they would also have a chance to win, but they are struggling to get to the semi finals at this juncture.
Australia have just trounced Bangladesh by 10 wickets as they march imperiously onwards to the final.
