You'd have to say India are favourites.
Limited Overs stuff is fun to watch, but it isnt really cricket, is it?

Pakistan can kiss my ass when it comes to getting my support from now on in. all those times i supported them and they thank me by filling their pockets with money while i sit there wondering why their top order collapsed or why theres been 3 wide balls and a no-ball bowled in an over.

To be fair, there were absolutely no allegations of match fixing.
Spot fixing is very widespread. Matt Le Tissier (for example) admitted in his auto biography betting on the time of the first throw in and then desparetly running around from the whistle trying to get hold of the ball so he could put it out of play... happens all the time and most players dont consider it cheating (cheating the bookies obviously doesnt count in their minds...)
