The more I think about it, the more I think Bangladesh going out in the group stage would be a shocker.

Shame you sat on the fence with predicting a winner.

We all pegged Canada as probably the worst team in the tournament, and see what happened: almost laid one into England!

If the initial signs are anything to go by, this should be far better than WI 2007.

I had a laugh at this part;
Quote:
A lot will also depend on Jason Krezja, Cameron White and Steven Smith to shoulder the spin burden on slow, subcontinental conditions.
White hasn't bowled a single over in an ODI since the England tour of 2009. I worry at how much his bowling must have regressed since he has become 100% focused on batting.

Very nice article though.
