Who is the favorite for the WC?

[diehardpacer]

Eng & Aus are clear favourites.

Eng batting is top class.They have the ability to put above 400 on a decent batting track.Inconsistent in difficullt pitches but all teams are like that.They can have pitches suited to them this time.Bowling is decent but not great.

Aus bowling is much better than Eng.If Starc & Hazlewood are fit which is highly likely,they will be the best bowling lineup.Warner,Smith,Starc & Hazlewood's absence allowed them to test their reserves well.Decent spinners in Zampa,Lyon & Maxwell.They are an all-round attack.

"Other" .... note that no team that won CT has gone on to win the WC .... and this WC has a round robin group stage so a tougher challenge (cannot get away by beating a few Asian teams + good/lucky days in KOs) 

Aussies won CT in 2006 & WC in 2007.
