India and Australia are favorites to go through, but seeing the way India played last game against SL and seeing Pakistan's unpredictability, wont be surprised if Pakistan sneak in ahead of India.

Why are West Indies even in this.. I'd have Bangladesh taking their spot since they can't field a half decent team..!

West Indies to get last.
India and Australia should progress but you never know with Pakistan.

I'd love to see Kevin McClean play against India on a hard and juiced up deck.

He has impressive pace let me tell you that. India and Australia should go through but I wouldn't write Pakistan off against Australia.

If we win against Pakistan I wont mind India losing in first round.

It's amazing. With Lee already bowling super fast and still looking to hit peak form, the Champions Trophy being in South Africa is an exciting coincidence. Due to the altitude at Johannesburg, aerodynamic drag is 20% less than at sea level. It's a suitable place for all pacemen to attempt to bowl their fastest, but in the CT and in this group, the West Indies squad only stands to make opposing bowlers look even faster.

When Lee was bowling this fast in past he would win games single handedly against India.

I think Sachin and Dravid are well equipped to handle Lee. Even Dhoni and Yuvraj can handle him (Yuvraj loves fast bowlers more than spinners). Remember the way Yuvraj thrashed Lee in SA in that memorable T20 World Cup?

We will progress to the 2nd round. I am confident about it.

Our fielding needs to bulk up and we need some changes in the middle order. Raina and Yusuf have to go, we can't afford liabilities in this tournament. Nayar will be my certain pick for the allrounders slot, and KKD by default in for Raina.

If Raina doesn't get in the team, I don't see why Karthik gets to be in the team. Raina overall is a better player statistically and technically.
