There is no way this Indian team can lose to Pakistan. If Sehwag and Sachin are gone in first 5 overs then and only then Pakistan will have a slim chance. Indian batting line up is too strong for any team. More over Moahli has a dead pitch that will undoubtedly help Indian batting line up to pile up a score of 300 plus. this Pakistani team cannot expect to score more than 270. With SA losing to NZ, Dhoni lifting the cup at Wankhede is ineviatable.
ponting, i still love the way u hv played cricket, its not easy to perform as a captain and a player for so many years. you are still the best and will be remembered alongwith the greats/legends.
dude ponting has won two worldcups for his team still he is been criticized he is one of the best captains any team would ever had thats another thing his ruling period is over but he definetly needs apriciation for his wonderful work and hounarable RETIREMENT

ahmad winning or losing is not necessarily what makes a good captain. Yes losing can make you a bad captain if you have the resources and dont work them well.

Totally agree with varun. Having Mcgrath, warne, gillespie/lee, hayden, gilchrist and symonds in your team, evan a blind beggar can win lots of matches. Whereas look at dhoni-no performance from bowlers or vettori-no performance from batsmen.... now those are great leaders.

I wont agree He utilized resources very well . Dont forget for last 2 world cups before started india also considered to be favorite. India had dravid, tendular , youvraj, sachin , ganguly , sehwag etc .. Only difference between ricky ponting team and india team indians individually received lot of records but australia as a team received awards.

pakis have a batting lineup that will crumble. there is only one man who could help their cause-umar gul. Even he might not be good enough. whereas it looks like SA are choking right now. Wont see them in the SF.

Ricky Ponting played this world cup as Oz captain,just for 1 reason- To equal Pele's record as winning captain of 4 World cup teams.Although Ponting & Pele played 2 completely different sports,yet both cricket and soccer r team games.If Ponting had won his 4th cricket world cup this year in 2011 as Oz captain, then both Pele and Ricky "The Punter" Thomas Ponting would have gone down in the history of team sports as the most succesful team captains ever. However that was not to be as in the history of team sports, there was, there is and there shall be only 1 Kohinoor which is black in color and the name of this Kohinoor is PELE.

Really, sameer! Is that true ? If Ricky Ponting has lead Oz to only 2 WC cricket glories till date, then how can he be then compared to the great PELE ? It means that Ricky is only half as good as PELE.

ponting has two win in worldcup as a captan..........
IF HE (BOLLINGER) THE WIN WOULD HAVE BEEN FOR AUUSIES. EVERYBODY KNOWS HOW BEST HE IS IN BOWLING THAT TOO IN TENSE SITUATUIONS LIKE THIS. HE IS LIKE ZAHEERKHAN OF AUSTRALIA. HE IS A WICKET TAKER & A PARTNERSHIP BREAKER.
UNFORTUNATELY DUE TO INJURY,HE IS OUT OF WORLD CUP.
