I am follwing cricket from 1987 WC. These days everyone creating hype that WC is going to be in the INdia' hands. Some one saying that this is for Sachin some one for else. World cup will not won by making Statments. World Cup will won by Playing on the field. In 1983 world there was not any hype like these days. Kapil Devils played like Champs. One inning can destroy any tems's hopes like Kapil's inning in 1983 wc against Zim. 1987 WC like Graham Gouch inng. destroy the iniand hopes. in 1992 Inzamam ul haq inning destroy the NZ hopes. 1996 wc Santh and desilva destroy indian hopes. So i want to say in Knockout stage one good can make or mar a Teams chance. So we should concentrate on playing good cricket rather than making statements on Papers. Also this world cup can go any way. I wish India will won but only wishes cant do anything we have put runs on the board and take wikets like Kapil ans Imran khan teams did in world cup of 1983 & 1992.

Really! I doubt it. Our fielding and bowling is not good enough and can not be compensated by strong batting. So, winning toss will be very very crucial. I think...AUS, ENG, Srilankan, and to some extend SA are balanced teams.

being optimistic is good thing...but I think optimism should always be based on facts...others it would end in disappointment.
remember the WC2003 final. Being optimistic of winning the final after gifting 350 runs to Aus...caused lots of heart break...to the extent that some of his fans even start hating Sachin...and they do so even now.
