Pakistan have messed it up for india..

[Sachin=GOD]

lol' date='WCs are won by beating any team that comes your way[/quote'] This. If we are afraid of facing any team then we don't deserve to win the WC.

[Karan114]

So far we've not beaten one major team and OP still wants an easy quarter final :cantstop: (not that Aussies are great this time)

[vvvslaxman]

It is not about the ability. We are not playing a ODI series here. Just one match. Whoever does well on a given day will win. If you play against NZ at this point you might wni 9 out of 10 matches. Against SL i would say 5/5. Against Australia 6/4 So it is down to probability. You cannot deny the fact that captains won't prefer an easy opposition.

What a thread. True mark of a team which should go on to win the worldcup' date=' the confidence which we have in our own team at our home[/quote'] Dont you feel india were better off facing NZ in the quarters?? We have to beat one more tougher team to win the WC now, thats all I meant. Not that we cant do it....

[yoda]

Good news is Dhoni will probably play Chawla against WI to get the Aussie slayer more "confident" and we will end up playing SL. :two_thumbs_up:

Don;t worry, we will do it. Dhoni and co will step up, they have no choice

[CSK Fan]

Is the OP playing for the team ? How can this be the 'true mark' of a team ? It's the true mark of a typical Indian fan who rants and raves when India wins a match and burns effigies when they lose a match. Its otherwise known as immaturity.

Edited accordingly

Just one immature coward here. Rest of us are ready :two_thumbs_up:

[Aaku]

which they would have to do at some stage anyway... how does this '****' anything up

Exactly !! What the big deal ? We will winzzz :yess:

Lankans are the most dangerous for us because we are far too familiar about each other. Too many series between these 2 sides. Then overwhelming participation of SL players in the IPL. It is like playing against your own team.

Canada had a great start against This Aussie side and even Kenya scored 264 against Aus. And they lost to Pakistan. They are no longer the Australian team of 4-5 years back that we should be so worried about facing. Bring them on. Dekh lega India.

I disagree. I would any day play SL in a WC game than the Aussies, even this average bunch. Didn't we lose a ODI series to this Aussie team recently at home?

[saneindian]

Bring them on. If we have to beat them at any stage to win the WC, what better place than the QF to face them.

[hari504504]

Hope we get Australia..

[veer]

I would much rather face Ozzies than asian teams.. and Ozzies much rather face non-asian teams..

[gult]

Australia or NZ.. doesn't matter.. Our bowlers have to pray that the pitch won't be flat.

[saneindian]

if its Australia, lets have a soinning track at Motera, if Lanka leave some grass on the pitch :--D
