I think India and Australia have better chance of advancing, let me tell you why. Two men, if in good form, always ensure an Indian victory; Sachin and Yuvi. Good for India that both of them are in excellent form. I can't remember an occassion where these two fired and India still lost, not atleast recently. Bowling is pathetic(and I am being lenient here), fielding, well, I have seen 60 yrs olds run to catch buses faster in my locality than indian fielders on the outfield. I just hope Ishant strikes some form here, and they become prudent enough to play Parveen. Australia, they are like wounded tigers now, done with licking their ashes wounds and raring to go. Ricky is in blistering form, Ferguson looks promising in the middle order, no Symonds though and Lee is Leethal again, they are looking a great one day outfit. One bloke we don't talk about often in Peter Siddle, that man has lot of heart and passion for his game, gives it everything when he bowls, a rare quality in bowlers these days. For Pakistan, I would say Umar Gul(exceptionally talented) and Afridi, if he fires, like he does once in a blue moon. Lets see how the tournament unfolds.
