i do not argue here but my point is that, all SA worldcup matches are really fought ones. not like cake walks. every one knows Indians think they are number one but rest of the teams shows in action.

i think if you look at all these 5 matches India struggled even against minnows. It won't change all of a sudden with one match with poor bowling attack.
•March 14: Bangladesh beat Netherlands yesterday and made it six points. •March 15: If South Africa beat Ireland, they go to eight points. •March 17: If England beat West Indies, England will have seven points. •March 19: If Bangladesh beat South Africa, Bangladesh will get eight points. •March 20: If West Indies beat India, West Indies will have eight points and India remain on seven points. This leaves India and England with seven points each. And other teams on eight. The run rate will come into play then.
Indians are expecting ton from Sachin.. but they do not expect a good captainship from Dhoni... After Sachin's century, some of the people will say that he is playing for records.. But why only Sachin to struggle ? When he plays, other players falls like a pack of cards... Sachin... TUSSSI GREAT HO...

Whatever negative comments about Sachin are because of parochia attitude . He is the best thing that happened to Indian Cricket in particular and Cricket in General .Such a record will never will be made like Bradmans tst averge . Players like Pointing , Kallis even may find not possible to catch up . Kallis undoubtedly the best all rounder of all time even better than sir Sobers . He has tormnted all bowlers and batamen time and again. Yes Would love to see Sachin complete his 100 th 100 against WI .There is ntohing which can not achieve if he sets his mind .

Journalists following the Indian team have complained that Indian cricketers do not train as much as the other teams. Practice sessions have often been cancelled or postponed with short notice.

It's true that Indians are giants in cricket they don't need practice. Just go and play, opposition will win.
India need Raina instead of Virat bcz virat role is insignificant at no 4 after sachin/viru/goti also Raina can play part time bowler role and provied place for third fast bowler.Virat inclusion is only point of upset team india format/performance for WC what do u think..?

Dont worry man... Dhoni is trying to bring Raina in.. Hence he has disturbed the batting order of Virat so that he should not perform well... But Dhoni wants one promise from Raina that he will never try for captioncy of Team India... Yuvi has agreed to Dhoni .. Raina can also agree... after all money matters.

Just remove Yusuf and have Raina and throw Asish and bring in Ashwin - that will win India a match .I do not know if Raina or Virat can keep wickets if so remove Dhoni and bring in any other bowler or batmen it will be excellent .Let Gautam or shewag captain the tem .I do not know if this will make Shewag and Gautam vicim of ploitics .

Virat has performed very well during last 6-12 months. Whereas , Raina has failed or struggled to get going.
From nest match onwards, i.e.vs West Indies and Quarter Final onwards, the going will not be easy for Indian Batting
HENCE IT IS SENSIBLE TO RETAIN AND PERSIST WITH KOHLI.
Anyway, Raina's weakness against short pitch bowling is now well known to all teams.

And what about Irish ???? They have fighting spirit too. India have IPL Spirit.
Australia will win it comfortably. My suggestion to Ponting, don't make any change in playing X1. Go with the same X1 which will play in QF if everyone is fit.
