Re: India's chances in the World Cup No chance at this rate - I will be happy if they can make it to the second round and mighty surprised if they get to the semis.

Re: India's chances in the World Cup India atleast has a chance in test cricket but in ODIs we all know how well they have been doing over the last few months. Going by that form India should not even reach semis.

Re: India's chances in the World Cup Of course we will do well. We always do.

Re: India's chances in the World Cup The ICC and the sponsors are well aware of the fact that a long Indian run in the WC would mean BIG bucks for them. India mint their money after all. So the pitches will be flattened out to suit our batsmen and India's success will be in the best interests of the world cricketing body. So keeping that in mind, and assumign that these lazy mugs of ours raise their game like they did last time - a semi-final appearance should be the very least we can expect from them. I am looking forward to India making it 5-0 too, *wink wink*

Man - an India-Pakistan showdown in the World Cup FINAL !! I'd kill to see that. Doubt it will happen tho' - both teams are too damn erratic and always flatter to deceive

Re: India's chances in the World Cup Ind-Pak showdown in the WC Final??? It wud be just AWESOME! But poor Pa#kis will lose....

Re: India's chances in the World Cup If its an Ind-Pak final, I'll hide under my bed and emerge after a month! The tension will be unbearable. But if we were to win that encounter, the high that it would give us would be unimaginable!

Re: India's chances in the World Cup But I'n damn sure there wud be no Ind-Pak final... both the teams will not reach the Finals... Aus,SA,Windies have got the Max chances...

Re: India's chances in the World Cup I don't expect too much...just being realistic! As long as they beat pak ....it will be fine for me..... :hic:

Re: India's chances in the World Cup i think they can win.....stay strong. but the selection must be spot on. No more experimenting with youngsters. Sourav, Laxman, Yuvraj are key to success in the world cup.

Re: India's chances in the World Cup There's a talented core of players without a doubt. Tendulkar in ODIs did do pretty well in the last year, and if Yuvraj's fit and VVS returns, the side should be a little stronger on the batting front. And hopefully that 1-4 defeat in the Windies will have given the side an idea of just what's needed to succeed there in terms of tactics, gameplans and the sort of players needed. But there won't be a win - I'll be somewhere between shocked and very very pleasantly surprised if there is. Australia are far too good. Sri Lanka are right now a good deal better than us, and have the batting to really impose themselves on the series. New Zealand and South Africa have the professionalism and almost unparalleled all round depth. I'll be pleased if the semis are made. If not, it won't be a big shock or blow though, as the side isn't in the league of a few others and on recent form, shouldn't be expected to do anywhere near as well as last time.
