Is it just me who thinks England have little to fear going into this World Cup?

Hugely depleted Australia side
One man team India who has struggled in English conditions
Up and down New Zealand (who although should revel in the conditions, lack the X factor for me)
Below par SA and Pakistan
Random mix of brilliance and appalling West Indies
Appalling Sri Lanka side
Raw sides of Afg/Bang nowhere near consistent enough

Flip side is Australia will have very good players back by then and on their day can be dangerous once it's a knockout.  India's one man is Kohli.  New Zealand have in Williamson and Latham probably the two form batsmen in world cricket that aren't Kohli.  Pakistan have enigmatic bowlers, but on their day can be very dangerous.  South Africa have a few very good players, and have a habit of churning out new quicks and solid batsmen when required. 

Don't get me wrong, England look great, but there are some decent sides there.

England’s biggest challenge is themselves. They are a great ODI side at the moment, but have the propensity to self-destruct if forced away from their game plan.

I predict Buttler to have a legendary WC

Ross Taylor’s record is second best to Kohli in odi’s Since the last WC  :D

When you say India are a ‘one man team’ are we to disregard their bowling attack? India’s issue is more so picking the wrong players. They’ve got Pant and Rahul warming the benches whilst Dhawan and Rayudu are stinking the place out.

I think Rayudu is done as #4 in the team.  I also think Dhoni, Jadhav and Shankar need to step up on consistent basis.  Right now they show up once per 4 or 5 games and you cannot expect to win WC with that type of inconsistency.

A complete road - so Dhawan gets runs

India carry on playing traditional odi cricket, you’d imagine if the English openers were in they would be teeing off and looking for 400+

India end up with 358-9. Dhawan back in form with a dazzling century. Rohit once again hindered his side with a lousy innings more interested playing for his average.

That man Cummins once again lionhearted, 5-70 on a flat one.

Scoring runs on a road require certain skills and talent no  :)

Rayudu is not worth being in the indian team honestly. KL Rahul and Rayudu are good in T20 format.

Handscombe a bit like Jennings ideal for subcontinental conditions but clueless on more traditional pitches. Struggle to see Steven Smith getting into the World Cup squad

Easy as you like for the Australians. Cruised home. Just to think they'll add Warner, Starc and Hazlewood to this squad.
