It is one of the greatest war in the history of sporting events happened 8 times before. The war will be more intense to capture the final cup. Only 5 nations grabbed the cup in different occasion. It has started again, the war with the willow and balls. This time in Caribbean, the home land of terrors of 70's.

In a sixteen nation battle royale, 8 war veterans engulfed for the glory of the cup in the war. The heat is more in ground Zero. With Two nations acting as dark horse, there is no clue of which team they will defeat; when they will defeat and how they will defeat. If the dark horses come out, it will be the biggest upset for other war veterans.

It started again now to see its 9th edition of the war, From India a team of 15 landed before a week to know the ground conditions and feel the heat of the war. Coupled with young and experienced warriors, Indian team looks hard but its power will be tested more when the number of teams gets reduced to 8.

Australia with all its oldies goldies enters into the league as favorites, but they look little worried about their warriors. They are fighting hard to get the glory of winning the war and the cup for three subsequent times. Their warriors are looking little old but with fire under their belly.

The first two time winner of the war looks so depressed due to their performance in recent times but its lead is more confident about winning the war for the third time.

Pakistan too looks hard coupled with young and experienced warriors but without their main warriors to lead the team in the fierce battle. They look seldom solid which will be tested when they are at war on 13th March.

The South Africans looks more confident due to their recent victory is similar wars in past against ASIAN giants, but they are in fear about the curse from a Ghost which is stopping them to attain glory.

England, the father who started the war between the countries looking for a big jump to enter into the grad finale with their warriors sharpening their willows and balls to attack other enemies who stand in their way. England again looking to colonize the countries in the fearsome battle but looks little aged comparing to other teams

New Zealand the, black warriors sharpened their willows to attack tasted its first setback from one of the dark horse recently in a warm up war. But the warriors are least concerned about the recent setback. Their lead warrior of ball is little concern about his knee.

Sri Lanka, the south Asian war horse, is ready to attack the battle with its thunders from ball and bat. Looks like the lion finally started to roar. Mostly all the warriors are in their final stage as warriors but the team has more young bloods to stalk on.

The war has just begun, the war of willow will continue for another month with more excitement and upsets.
