format of the world cup is so bad... which game goes on for 6 weeks esp with hardly 8 major cricket nations.. its just money making bogus group stage matches.. too many worthless games.. WC should be completed in at most 2 weeks with quality matches...
May Fridi, Gayle, Steyn, Lee, Amla - all have a temporary Hernia and go back for treatment. May Chawla and Nehra have a hernia also so that they dont play in any match in this WC

Pak too many new comers Will not be able to handle pressure Aussies have played enough finals to handle pressure from QF onwards Eng after Ashes win and roller coaster performance will stabilise and with better pace and spin have edge over Aussies
first they were almost screwed by the dutch then they were almost wrecked by the indians, before being ripped apart by the irish their only victory was a narrow one over the suicidal proteas with KP out, it seems that the english are on their way back home quite soon

agreed. 83 team had many average players like Yashpal Sharma, Kirti Azad, Balwinder Sandhu and Roger Binny, but they played well as a team.

Yes fully agree with you. I do not think the decision to field after winning the toss was a wrong one. Due to few light showers in the morning, there was something for the bowlers for first 10-12 overs. Had Shrinath, Zaheer & Co bowled the way they had bowled against England, Sri Lanka, New Zealand in the way to the final, Australia would have lost at least 2-3 wickets in first ten overs. If your recall, the Australian batting was struggling in the league, super six stages. If you look at, only Pakistan had scored more than 225 runs against India. India had bowled out teams like Sri Lanka, England, New Zealand etc. in less than 200 runs.

probably thats why they did not do it. because if they had bowled well and india had won WC blind sachin fanatics would have stolen the credit from them and given it to sachin. now at least some people remember how they all had bowled before the finals. if we had won the finals blind sachin fanatics would have forgotten their performances and abused them.
chawla with ashwin..unless indian strategy is to hide him till qtrs so that others can read him well. And please throw harbhajan out and take another spinner or even batsman in his place. Yusuf yuvi sehwag etc can bowl better than him.

I second that. Bhajji has been useless for a while now. He bowls at 5-6 RPO, and takes 1 wicket at the most. Just observe how many times a batsmen gets beaten or how many appeals do happen in his bowling. He creates too few chances of taking wickets as a regular bowler. His economy is not out of the world either.

Yes bhajji is of no use at present to the team. it seems he is becoming a liability. better pick other instead of him

yes despite being less than half the strength they had in 2003 they are still looking best of the lot. This indian team if had played in 2003 would have met the same fate as in 2007.
