I don't look too much into warmups. I still believe that when knockout stages and super 8s will arrive, this indian team is going to fall flat. They lost all the matches in super 8 in 2009 and 2010 editions, becoz this are srilankan pitches and they are somewhat similar to our(spin frindly) there is a possibility that we may win one of the super 8s matches. That's it do not expect great things from this team.
South Africa, srilanka and if westindies play well as a unit and if there are consistent than this 3 teams have a chance.
I don't see Australia, or even pakistan or england winning this tournament.

rightly said but slight modification..... If any team plays well as a unit and perform consistently then they have a chance. either of India/Sri Lanka/SA can win. and gayle is not going to steal this from any team either. because in crucial matches he gets out as first wicket.

That is the reason I do not rate india highly becoz they are not consistent and it seems sehwag has lost his charm. Rohint sharma and Yuvraj have experience but we cannot depend on them. Our bowling is also not so great.
Australia cannot play spin, england cannot win withoug kevin peterson and pakistan are inconsistent like us.

yeah ryt,,,,practice matches dnt matter...lanka let india win to make them overconfident... ryt ??
it is human nature to have likes and dislikes - but if that is because of the regional feeling it is too bad. Hope this is done more for fun than real.

Irfan is totally failed in the batting in the past so do not make him alrounder & should concentrate only on bowling to remain in the team otherwise he will once again be out from team.
