Some pre-tournament drama surrounding Pakistan and whether they would agree to play India. 

All tips for this tournament most welcome here
 

I can't wait for this!

Indeed some drama going in Chris. First Bangladesh being kicked out and now it seems Paki will stay in but will forfeit their game against India.

Bit of a weird draw scenario as well. Top two teams in each Pool go into the Super 8. But here the teams have been pre allocated into either Group X or Y. Not only do the Proteas have the tougher group stage Pool with the Afghans and the Kiwis but for the Super 8 they have also been allocated with India and Aus (shoud we make it there). 

Looking forward to some Player Markets coming out shortly.

Pakistan threatening to withdraw from their match against India could have a big effect on the betting of player markets i.e Top Tournament Bat and Top Tournament Bowler as those players will have potentially played one match less than others. What will the situation be should these two teams have to play each other in a semi final or final?

No betting out yet, but fancy Saim Ayub to be top Pak bat with Abhishek Sharma top Tournament bat should Ind get to bat first in at least two of their three remaining matches. England group also not looking too tough making Buttler and Salt big runners in the Top Tournament Bat markets.
 

100% agree Jacques. I also like Ayob a lot.

Resting of players also usually a bit of a lottery when doing tournament outright bets but I think this is even more important when considering the bowlers - especially the quicks.

England are definitely a team to keep in mind since they will also have an easier Group of 8 imo. As such Adil Rashid is very much on my radar.
