Good point. I also realise that. I hope we win against both Windies and England, while thrashing ( as opposed to losing against) Ireland and Holland.

I don't know who the experts are, but I can bet my Ferrari that I will never have on England not winning the World Cup. There's no guarantee either that they'll beat West Indies if Gayle gets going. So we really should try and beat both. We could also beat South Africa with spin and Tamim/Ash...probability 20%.

P.S: Kalpurush bhai, I didn't add Ash as then it'll turn out into another Ash thread.
