Sri lanka are my outside bet for the WC.

Questions over his (dodgy) action aside, Murali could well be the bowler of the tournament. I feel that some teams may try and "see him off" and IMO that could be their downfall, because if teams do that he could well bowl 10 overs for 30 odd and take a few wickets.
