Question

Will New Zealand do the double this year by winning both cricket and rugby World Cups?

Answer 1

The aussies will once again take away the cricket world cup.

Answer 2

No sweetie!!  The All Blacks have always been the best rugby team in my opinion, but when it comes to the cricket - no!  The fact  that they beat Australia now is not going to help them in winning the cricket cup.  It will be SA.

Answer 3

Why not go for the treble,Cricket,Rugby Union and Rugby League..some achievement.

Scotland to win the cricket world cup?? Are they even in it??

That's like saying Luxemburg will win the next soccer world cup.

Mind you..it would be great if they did.

Answer 4

They look like winning the Rugby. They have a good enough team to win the cricket, but I am not sure they can be that good for the whole tournament. South Africa also has a chance to win the double, but have the same problem, they are good enough but not consistent enough.

Answer 5

The Aussies are on a downward spiral, the South Africans have been succesful in the Windies, New Zealand is just not good enough at cricket.

Answer 6

Rugby - Definately, but I think expecting them to take the cricket is a bit unlikely.

I recon South Africa for the Cricket, NZ for Rugby as long as they don't trip up against someone stupid like France

Answer 7

Rugby is already with the fates but with cricket all though they just beat the Aussies they have a slim chance of winning

Answer 8

Choclover, you have your head in the clouds to think England are going to win the RWC this year. "Jonny is back" for sure....back in the grandstand nursing yet another injury by the time the RWC rolls around!!

Kuschke, you also have no idea. NZ ALWAYS the best team?? Care to remind me when NZ last won the RWC?? 1987 I seem to recall - 20 years ago!!!!!

Back to the question.....I think there's a good possibility of that happening. I've got $200 invested at SportBet on the NZ double anyway (and I'm an Australian!!!)

Answer 9

Oh dear another over confidant fan. Be careful Mate you could be in for a shock!

Answer 10

1 out of 2 aint bad you choose???

Answer 11

No, but they stand a better chance than us (England) after yesterdays performance!

Answer 12

They'll deffo win the RWC.  By far the most consistent team in the World and that is a big part of what makes them the best.  

Don't know much about cricket so I'll keep my mouth shut on that one.

Answer 13

With rugby we have waited for 20 years for them to deliver another world cup rugby victory.



In cricket its anyone's guess who will win.  England did beat New Zealand twice in the world series and lets face the English captain came out firing and said they will fight and compete in the finals and they did.  Who is to say England or any other country can't win it.  Its wide open.  Bets are on.

Answer 14

I can't see them winning the cricket.

They've got to be favourites for the rugby, though.

Answer 15

No, England will win the Rugby - JOHNNY IS BACK!!

Answer 16

Ok I will give it to you .... the All blacks for the Rugby World Cup trophy...

But for the Cricket ..... It will be between The Aussies, South Africa , England and NEw Zealand....

Cricket is a funny game and all depends on the day,,, Rain will shortne the overs and favour maybe another country on that day Like India or Pakistan.

Answer 17

Exactly Peter C.

Not a chance Scotland will win both.

The Aussies pulled that double in 99. I think that if it is to happen it will most likely be one of the southern hemisphere teams.

Answer 18

It's definately possible but Australia have a better a chance of doing it I'm afraid.

...m0uthpiece...

Answer 19

Not a chance, Scotland will win both!
