Re: The Huddle: 'Pakistan are favourites'
I don't agree with them
They were all concentrating on the bowling attacks of various teams, no real analysis of respective batting strengths
Batting is the key in ODIs
No team is clear favourite imo. NZ could be the surprise package in this CT

Ian Botham's prediction last night was final between WI and Pak.

He also thinks he wasn't out to Wasim in the '92 WC final when he clearly nicked it behind. ;)
Still for Pakistan's sake making to the final would be really nice for the fans!

Before the start of the Champions Trophy I also thought Pakistan (with its quality seam bowlers) will be favorite to win. But looking at scores in the warmups and the first game, it looks like it is going to be a very high scoring tournament. If it is so then Pakistan will struggle. They do not have batting lineup to consistently score 300+.
