The day night encounter at Sydney makes India favourites to win...if they win the toss and bat first and put up a 260 plus score, it might be an easy win for India cos chasing under ligts in Sydney is very tough!
Also, India needs to get its selection right...considering the slow and turning nature of the SCG track, they need to go with Piyush Chawla...Chawla is a must!!
Then, there is a choice between Harbhajan Singh and a weaker batting order or going with Sehwag who can bowl good offpsin....
Piyush and Sehwag bowling in tandem on the slow SCG pitch might test the Aussies!!
Also, Sachin needs to fire at the top of the order.
All the best to Team India, seal the finals berth tomorrow itself!!

STATISTICIANS COULD U PLEASE TELL US HOW MANY TIMES SACHIN & SAURAV HAVE SCORED MORE THAN 25 RUNS IN THE LAST TWENTY FIVE MATCHES AGAINST QUALITY BOWLERS LIKE GEN MCGRATH & SHAUN POLLOCKI.E., AGAINST AUSTRALIA & SOUTH AFRICA

Arrey Pakodi, where were you last few days. Today only I was thinking of you and your spicy messages.
Teri Pakodi agar Frying Pan mein fas gaya tho poora jal jaayega. Zara sambhal ke dabaaya kar (I meant the Keyboard)
The Most Important thing is that you always write what I think and want to write. We must accept that Sachin is also Over Rated.
Our Media calls him "Master Blaster" whereas this Title is meant for the one and Only SIR VIV RICHARDS

---------------------- If IPL can be a successful one for next three years, India will defenitely rule the cricketing world in all means for sure, including the WC 2011...
Boards in different countries are already worried seeing even their budding talents, shedding national pride to join the money bombarding IPL. Aussies are the most worried seeing their junior most David Hussey & cameron white, not named for the upcoming Pak tour, packing bags to joing the league in India. They expect a drought of talents available for the national team as the payment from IPL is 700 times than a player gets from his local state duty.
The smae time, Indian players, especially the well-running players of U-19, get opportunity to learn from Ponting, Sarwan, Kallis, Mcgrath & Warne...It will be like equalent to 100 training camps in a players life time...
These youngsters will defenitely take the Cricket Crown from Australia soon...all are worried and boards like NZL are waiting to get the money share announcement from iPL, otherwise they will try to clamp it. IPL is a much better movement even out of hand from its own organizers. Only doubt is if the managements in India, which did zero to our national cricket's growth, are be able to handle IPL successfully to make it an extravaganza like Olympics..time will answer
