Cricket: ICC Champions Trophy

Re: Cricket: ICC Champions Trophy Its early days but i'll be looking for a "England 0 points" or "England to loose all 3 games" bet. I realy can't see them beating either Sri Lanka or South Africa, leaving just New Zealand. As this game is the last in the group it will either be a pointless affair to see who finishes 3rd or it could be a must win game for New Zealand, either way i fancy New Zealand. Hope England prove me wrong; but i doubt they will.
