They put WI in the easiest group I guess to give them a chance to go deep into the WC which is good for crowd support. The only real challenge we will have is New Zealand and that we can handle

West Indies had better do well or this WC won't bring out the crowds in the islands.

Afghanistan is a walk over? Guess you didn't follow the last World Cup. Plus they will be playing us in spin friendly conditions...

Not by any means a walk over but definitely not in the category of Australia, India, Pakistan, England, South Africa etc. I will feel much more comfortable playing them than any of the above mentioned teams
