Political situation means anything can happen between now and the World Cup
The batsmen get too aggressive and get themselves out
They don't really know how to work a ball around for singles, it's big shots or nothing
The bowlers leak runs and aren't penetrative
Their fielding is poor
They can't play swing
They can't play left-armers
They can't play high-quality spin
They can't play pace, with the exception of Duffin
They can't play any bowling except part-time dobbers
The coach is volatile and prone to making excitingly confrontational statements, which tend to backfire
Their running between the wickets can best be described as inept
Too many bits-and-pieces players
Team disharmony
Corruption
Racism
