There's two pools in this right. Thought one would take care of the easy obvious picks but it looks like they are somehow interlinked.

But yeah there must be some racist conspiracy going on. :D

WI vs Pak is not too difficult to pick - on sentiment or quality. If it's a question of who I want to win the most, then as much as I want the WI to recover, Afridi is bowing out so I'd like to see him&Pakistan hit top gear now so they can be a genuine threat later. They have the better side man for man.

ZIM can easily beat both IRE&WI, so by losing to IRE, WI are virtually out now. All of which means WI serve only one purpose in this Group - to give the Proteas a proper wake-up call.

I went with NZ, but the tricky game is ENG vs NZ. They way NZ struggled against Scotland shouldn't be underestimated. Jimmy&Broad will cause them problems. England have to make a bold choice and drop Morgan for Bopara and make Bell captain. Morgan's form lately is shocking! He's turning into a Rilee Rossouw http://www.espncricinfo.com/icc-cricket-world-cup-2015/content/player/24598.html

The problem with the proteas is pressure they can score big against the the weaker sides in pressure situations like against Zimbabwe but against the likes of India or Pakistan in pressure situations they fail we need everybody in the proteas side feel and be like Ab De Villiers because the man has heart that nobody can strike fear against so if everybody has the spirit of Ab de Villiers what can stop them from winning this worldcup thought I voice my opinion.

UAE 285/7 (50 overs)

I think this is a 330 - 350 wicket, even more for the top teams.

If Zim play to their potential they should get within 45 overs imo.
