DaLeroy these are just the men's team. Women's cricket is nowhere nearly as popular.
Yup, the world-champion Aussies are the fav. But I think that India has a stronger batting line-up. If they get some support from their bowlers, they just might surprise a few (let's not forget the 2000 champions trophy). England and South Africa, I am not so worried about. We beat England couple of times recently in their homeland. The sub-continent pitches are more of India's taste. Plus, England's current team is not full-strength (plagues with injuries). And SA is going through a bad run of forms. They are not the same formidable team of the 90s anymore.
tigerbait, you must've been disappointed when WI lost to SA (and that was such a close game). Well, WI v. Kenya is going on right now.
