England to get knocked out in the group stages?

I'd quite like to see Broad, Swann, Finn, Dernbach, Briggs bowling attack because I think they're a contrasting bunch who would offer a load of wickettaking potential. Unfortunately I don't think they can risk having that kind of tail. So more likely I'd bring in Bresnan for Finn and play as they did in the last T11 against SA. Finn's unfortunate but I think Dernbach is a must pick. They could play Patel and Finn and no Briggs and Bresnan but Briggs is lightyears ahead of Patel as a bowler and England fielded really well in the T11 when Patel wasn't playing.

I'd say there is no favourite for the tourny and any of India, SL, SA, AUS, WI or Pakistan could win it. I don't think England or New Zealand have any realistic chance.
