Why such discussion?? India can not win this crucial match againest Srilanka. Forget everything. India is out - Morally also India has no right to go to super 8, after being defeated by Bangladesh

Hindustani nahi hai tu!!!! Abe jis desh me rahta hai... usi desh ki team ka manobal gira raha hai??? Cricket is a game in which you can't predict anything correct. Anything can happen... Baarish ho jayegi to kya karega be??? Muh band rakh... bhagwan se mana ki India jeete... We can't do more than this.... :)

It is not patriotism which makes me to say this. Mr Parag you are one of those million Indians who never played cricket but still want to talk like an expert. I dont say that your prediction may not come true but your opinion is height of stupidity. Indian team is far better than Sri Lanka and there is 80% chance for India to win considering the strength. But Cricket is a funny game some time the results make idiots like you appear as expert!! God bless you.

Not a single player has got that kind of "Junoon" - like Austraians - to do something for their country. Exception - Dhoni. They are playing just sack of it. - No proper planning, no tactics, no surprises - Just plain Vanila Ice creme

Parag is not typical gujju dost. He is right in saying that India is morally down in this world cup. Didn't u see the body language of Men in Blue in the match against Bangladesh??? Indian cricketers look good only on ramp and not on ground. It's not the matter of hindustani here Mr.Gunjan. We r not cursing India, we r cursing the so called CRICKET SOLDIERS of India - The Men in Blue.

Mr.Parag, Do not moralise Indian Team. Indian Team can beat any team in the world. But some players are playing for their personal gain. This should be stoped and to play for India. Pray God for that

Mr. Parag You are a Indian and tipical Gujarati. Gujarati is always loves money and nothing else.You may betting against India. You are interested only money hence you are cretising. This stupid tendancy please stop and think be positive.

do not be so emotional with Indian Team. Think with your mind. Do you really belive that we can beat teams like Australia / South Africa / New Zealand??
The whole country is mad about cricket so our crickers are taking everything very lightly. Stop giving them so much respect & love - stop treating them as GOD - They will improve.

are u a match-fixer, else how can u be sooooo sure that India will lose. friend, hope dies after death, so just hope and leave rest to team. u cannot do anything, can u. and morally speaking, if India defeats SL, then is it not like defeating that team which has crushed Bangladesh, and so like crushing Bangladesh ourselves. dont be a gandhi in sports, be sachin in sports.

Mr. Parag, You are a tipical Gujarati and tendancy is only making money by hook or crook. You might have betting with either your father or wife, mother orson because money will stay house only.Stop this tendency and be positive

We all Indian are treating them as GOD. Stop thid for GOD sack. Why we are giving them so much importance?? Instead of wasting time on watching live - better to do some constructive work - like playing ourselves in our area, with friends - That will be more useful for everybody.

Parag is not a match fixer. He is a true sportsman. This is 100% sure that India will lose to SL tomorrow and no one can stop India losing. Second, India doesn't disserve to enter the Super Eight. It's better that India loses tomorrow, at least we dont have to break our hearts in Semis or finals.

How long we tolerate thsi bowler called Agarkar! Except that he is from Mumbai he does not have any qualification to play in ODIs. He never bowls or bats in pressure. Sreeshanth or Pathan should replace him. But his God Father Vengsarkar may not agree with me.

That's why she is called as "Mandira Body" By a private channel comdeian.
Here is analysis regarding Chances to win the World Cup 2007 for India :
Reason1:
Year 1981 1. Prince Charles got married 2. Liverpool crowned Champions of Europe 3. Australia lost the Ashes 4. Pope Died 5. 2 years later India won the world Cup!!!
Year 2005 1. Prince Charles got married 2. Liverpool crowned Champions of Europe 3. Australia lost the Ashes 4. Pope Died 5. 2 years later India will win the world Cup
Reason2:
1982 Football World Cup won by Italy 1983 Cricket World Cup won by India
2006 Football World Cup won by Italy 2007 Cricket World Cup: INDIA
Reason 3:
1983: India has lost the only first match in 1983 world cup
2007: India has lost the only first match in 2007 and will not again
Still doubtful??? Watch out on Final Day
Knock out Punch:
1983 ? India stopped WI from winning World Cup for 3 rd consecutive time and since then WI has been in doldrums! 2007 ? India stops Australia from a 3 rd time WC ? and then ???
lets hope for the best
%uFFFD only subjected to its win against srilanka tomorrow.
Remember just before last World Cup final? Many arithmetics / astrology were given as to why India should win.
1. From 79 till 99 the winning captains are alternatively LH & RH. So 2003 should belong to Ganguly and not Ponting.... Beautiful logic.
2. Years between 2 world cup wins. WI - 4 (79-75) Australia - 12 (99-87) India - 20 (2003-1983)...... Arre waah!!
Australians are to be blamed. They did not know these predictions. Otherwise we would have won!! Remember the courage of Arjuna Ranatunga who won the toss and elected to field in 1996 though the history till that point was that the team batting first was winning.......

u r incorrect abt the 1983 cup. india did not loose the 1st match. infact it won against the WI. then its lost against Aus and WI in other group matches. But i still hope all other reasons come true n we become the winners.
The last line - "India can still make it to Super-8 despite losing to Sri Lanka on 23rd. But for that Bangladesh has to lose to Bermuda." is wrong, as according to the rules, then both India and Bangaladesh would have same points and the tie would be decided not on the NRR but on the winner of he game among them and Bangladesh would go in. The NRR scenario come in only if there is a triangular tie between team. A beats B, B beats C, C beats A.
RE:Last line wrong
by Dr Shivago on Mar 22, 2007 04:28 PM Permalink
The scenario arises only when Bermuda beats Bangladesh. In such a case Bermuda, Bangladesh and India have 2 points and your case of A, B and C opens up
RE:RE:Last line wrong
by gunjan pandey on Mar 22, 2007 04:44 PM Permalink
This rule has been scrapped!!! JAAGO DOSTO JAAGO... The NRR rule has taken over.. This rule was applied in the last world cup... This world cup ICC will check the NRR when 2 or 3 teams have equal points...
I just wrote a message minutes ago, and wow, it was completely overrun by the new messages. But guys, I seriously want everyone to read that. Please share ideas on what we could do. Let atleast rediff can see that and try to do something
But the reason for this message is that I want to tell the whole world again that I am proud to be Indian. u guys want to know why? I found so many Muslim guys supporting Indian team just blindly. I heard lot of guys whining that Muslims in India support Pakistan cricket team blah blah blah. Just have a look. But seriously, happy. Thanks ppl. I'm off to prepare for some GMAT. And as any other normal Indian, Good luck to India. :)
