Can"t have the Aussies (despite their record in the world cup) without a class spinner and dodgy batting.

Did they not win the last 2 world cups without a class spinner?

Different conditions this time round.  Flat tracks, runs galore and I think you will see the most effective bowlers being the world class spinners (step forward Swann, Harbhajan, Murali, Vettori).  Don"t see Steve Smith being anything like as effective.

Sri Lanka for me.

India will choke at home. S Africa look a good outside bet.

What price England to not make the QFs?

Agree with Sri Lanka Rob, lots of pressure on India so they may not be up to handling it.  South Africa are solid but hardly an outside bet as 3rd favourites.

After watching England in the field against the dutch today, India might pile on 400+ on Sunday...

Curlarge:
Yes I agree about the fielding was really poor today given what we have come to expect over the past few months.

I"ve got a sneaky feeling that New Zealand are going to go very well here. They have a very long batting line up, are well used to the pressure with a host of seasoned campaigners, very little expectancy or pressure on them and whilst I accept that their bowling is not as potent as some, they will have fire in their bellies after the sad news in Christchurch today.

You heard it here first.

Therefore NZ FTW.....TID Boys (assuming England don"t of course!!!!)

They will have to improve on recent performances.  Bangladesh thrashed them then Pakistan thrashed them.  Vettori is stepping down as captain and their players are always getting injured.

I hope they do well but I fancy that Zimbabwe may give them a game, as they are weak against spin, so they may struggle even in the weaker of the 2 groups.

Good write up Thinker....totally agree with Sri Lanka winning it, their batting is best in the comp IMO...

Only had a bet in the top batsmen market (Sri Lanka were a little too short for me, keeping funds for Cheltenham ;))

Dilshaan  @ 29
Pietersen @ 24
Misbar Ul Hak @ 85

Really did think Dilshaan would be among the first 5 in betting, he is so consistent, really think he is overpriced, but agree with thinker on all 3 of top batters.

As far as the top wicket-taker is concerned, it"s not a market i like to bet on, its not necessarily the best bowler, therefore i feel there is a lot of luck involved.

Good luck in your bets everyone.
