With the fast approaching ICC World T20, I was curious as to find out where people's loyalties lie and which teams people think are the favourites to win and with which squad they would win. Also as a bit of fun what would your T20 dream team be. (Current players only please).

I'm heading over to watch a week or so of it, but not really supporting anyone as Scotland failed to qualify this time

Who do you think are favourites to win this year?

Who do you think are favourites to win this year?

Surely one of the sub-continent teams.

my money is on the safas

I hope SA win but we all know that they are great for one thing at world cups and that is an Almighty CHOKE... 

But you never know..

Nobody seems to favour the windies? What if they put out their best squad?

If SA dont win it I would love The Iland boys to win it...

I think it'll be tight, hard to see England defending their title with the their lack of power in the batting. i imagine pakistan and India will be there or thereabouts, as will the hosts.

i'll tel you who won't win it and thats australia.(yep i'm an aussie)

Pray that big Chris is included.

Sri Lanka are always good for a few quid

I will be supporting my country of Birth Pakistan.. Who have done exceptionally well in this competition over the last 3 occasions.

Finalists, Winners and Semi Finalists.. SO I expect them to win, especially with Razzaq, Shoaib Malik, Kam Akmal, Imran Nazir and Arafat in the squad..

But strong competition this time around, Safa looking strong, So too is Windies, India and even England actually!

gut instint says its one of the three main sub-continental sides with the West Indies and Australia as outsiders.

You can rule England out now for three reasons - no KP, no IPL experience and not enough power at either end.  SA have the experience (and should have KP probably  ) but lack the bite and NZ are a bit rubbish.

Australia could surprise a few folk, though they are probably similar to an old style NZ side in a number of ways.

The West Indies, I wonder about.  Lots of players with IPL experience, good spin options and the biggest hitters of all in Gayle, Pollard, Smith etc...

[PedalsMcgrew]

NZ are a lot better than people give them credit for. If the likes of Guptil, Ryder, Taylor etc come off then they have a batting line up to match any in the competition. Windies will be there or thereabouts but it really depends on their attitude. Australia won't get close. England are lacking a bit but are not that far away. India will flatter to deceive and Sri Lanka could be the dark horses. I think its going to be a good competition. I just hope the pitches are up to it.....
