West Indies Can Beat India by 161 Runs To Throw Out Of The Tournament ?

either ways, I dont think India will make it beyond the quarters... they dont have that zing as the team is not getting things right

Hi Dear Narendra! Suny hasalready answered your query! Like you every Indian wish that our team should win against West Indies on 20th March 2011. But we are very uncertain about our team and its performance now a days. though we know that bowling line is our weakness, what did the batting line it did at Nagpur. If we ignore the runs made by Sehwag,Tendulkar and Gambhir what is the total runs made by remaining 7 players! It is disgusting even to talk about it! Can any one say this is the performance of a team with strong batting line! Thus in short our players may be very talented but are extremely non dependable! So the so called the best team of this tournament is now struggling for its existence! Very pathetic state of affairs! Our players don't have the habit of coping up with the pressure! They shatter like castles of cards when subjected to pressure and their poor performance is witnessed by the whole World with a sarcastic smile on the face! Yes, as I said earlier, let us pray for these two players and hopefully Dhoni will be alright till the time of match as we really don't have any good wicket keeper to substitute him! Veeru should get well and should play cool to give a good start so that subsequent players following him may have some confidence to face the opponents! Thanks for responding!

Hi Dear Sids! Though I am criticising the team thoroughly,But then I don't know why, I have a gut feeling that they will reach finals! Let us see how things will work out for them! But I am telling my gut feeling! Let us all wish the team best of luck and May God Bless them and Us also! Thanks!

Hi Dear KaranKhanna! I agree with you! But then I feel that there shouldn't be any problem for India to beat West Indies on this Sunday without even Sreesanth being included in the team. They can have a convincing victory with the present team only! But then, what I think is when sreesanth has been included in the team as a bowler he should be given a chance to get him back to the form! He has got few disadvantage that he gives lot of runs and some times looses the temper which reflects on his game.So no risk of including such player at the knock out round can be taken, so he should be given a chance in Sunday's play against West Indies to assess his present form. I personally feel that Sreesanth may not have a big role in taking our team to semi finals as he doesn't have that charisma of wonder bowler in him! Any way let us let u hope for the best and let wish our team all the best to have immediate next victory against West Indies on Sunday! Thanks for responding!

Yes, u are right the sreesanth why our indian team doesn't play with sree whats the matter is going on he is a good bowler and he bowls very well but some times he gives lots of runs but the is a best bowler sometime and he swings the ball critically and he is one of the best swingers in the world but he gives so many runs thats the matter if they give bowling to him but he didn't bowl well in the last session of the over at that time sree is in critical condition and with lots of anger and pay some tension thats why they didn't bowl properly in the last session but he take some wickets i think our team India will take sreesanth for this final match against westindies.

Dear Jhonnysherlin! No doubt that Sreesanth is one of the best out swingers in the world! His basic problem is his non dependability!yes I understand every player does have some thing called as a form! But this young boy lacks the sportsman spirit and he often becomes too violent and loose the temper on the ground and this reflects on his performance. Eventually this makes the opponent team to en cash on him! An International player should have a calm and balanced disposition and use the tactics against the batsman with cool mind as a specialist bowler of the tam! This young man has to grow a lot to become a dependable player! This is my personal observation and may not be liked by many fans of his! Thanks for responding!

Hi Dear Ram! Thanks for your observation, in fact I am not a pessimistic, but possibly because of my profession I must have developed the habit of analysing the things too critically! By the way, I am working for a one of the reputed Stud farms in India and we breed Thoroughbreds for the racing purpose. We keep track of the horses from our farm on the track on regular basis and we analyse practically each and every horse before the race and after the race, so that we can improvise upon our stock! Thus I can understand there is very thin line of demarcation between a Win and a Defeat and I always try to analyse critically about all the possible out comes of a race or for that matter of any event where winning or loosing is concern! I don't wager on horses, for that matter I never gamble! But then analysis is my hobby and passion now! Yes Ram ,it it will be very very difficult for West Indies team to defeat India at the first place and that too with that much of margin! In any case if they have to chase a small total and wins this is never going to happen! I know about it! But then ,like any Indian fan,looking at the present scenario, I am getting terribly disappointed with the way our players are playing the game! They have started as would be World Champions and to day if this thing happens they can be out from tournament! That means they have come to a stage where they had to depend on Ifs and buts for their survival. They could have easily defeated all the teams in pool B as our team is superior to all of them! From bottom of my heart I have a feeling that in spite of all the setbacks in our team we will make it at least up to finals! Let us see what will happen! Thanks or responding!

That's the spirit. Keep it up. I also work as a project manager and part of my job is also critical analysis of the performance of my team. But what I try to do is keep my profession away from my hobbies and sports. The reason is I connect emotionally to these games. Even if I know we are underdogs, I tend to support India though I try not to go over board. For e.g. in the current Davis Cup tie, I was rooting for India, knowing very well that Serbia were way over us in the rankings. Cheers! Ram

Hi Dear Mahesh! That is the way we Indians are! We are very contended people. since some how we managed to win in the last match, we are now ready to forget the poor performance of the team at Chennai,may it be then in batting or bowling or fielding side! Well I agree at the end of the day it is 'Win' which counts in any match, but the way won the match was absolutely lack lustre one! Fortunately so far we are getting one saviour in the form of bats man because of whom we are managing to win the matches! The team still requires lot of loop holes to be mended before playing the next match! Lady luck has been favouring us! Barring Yuvraj's performance and the partnership with Virat Kohli what was the big deal in the Indian play? Any way I appreciate your positive approach and hope to watch another miracle to happen like one happened in 1983 which I witnessed! Thanks for responding!

Hi Dear indahfth! I think you have accidentally posted a wrong response to this discussion! I thin this response pertains to another discussion of mine! Anyways ! Thanks !

Hi Dear Creovation! You are right, it is not really an easy task for West indies to beat India with that much of margin! If India plays first and makes them to chase then entire calculations will be gone to drains! So let us be practical and like every time this time also let us hope for the best and hope to see some entertaining Cricket from our team on Sunday! All the best to the team! Thanks for responding!

Hi Dear Sunnycool! Though I think Indian team should not have any problems in winning against West Indies with the existing team also! But then for the future matches to come we need to have some changes in the team especially with the bowling side! Yes, unless there is no team spirit in the team, it would be very difficult for any team to meet the success! In the attempt of making individual records we may loose the existence of our team in the team, so players should real;y think about it and start behaving in a matured manner as millions of fans are watching them! Let us wish them all the best! Thanks for responding!

Hi Dear msdivkar! I know West Indies always play under pressure when they are playing wit India and Indian can easily defeat them on 20th March 2011, if every thing is OK with our players' health and fitness! I am criticising the team India like any other Indian who is presently finding it difficult to come out of the disappointment or frustration with the team's performance! Like I expressed in my last posting I am having my gut feeling that India will at least reach Finals! Like You say if it wins nothing like it! Then every mistake is pardoned! Let us wish our Team Best of luck! Thanks for responding!

Hi Dear Jhonnysherlin! Don't worry it is very difficult for West Indies to beat India with that margin! Yes looking at the performance by our other players at Nagpur we may get irritated as the contribution of eight players was just 29 runs and they even couldn't play complete 50 overs! This issue has been raised by many News papers, News Channels, discussion forums etc many a times and now it has become a common excuse for any Indian Cricket fan to take help of this fact to abuse our team. But if we look carefully these players lost the wickets as every body of them wanted to play big shots to please the fans and they practically had no tension of scoring. They had a good Score behind the team and that is the reason they have become the prey to over enthusiasm, which often ends like this. These same players would have played a fantastic cricket and would have added a good score to the team on the same day and at the same venue, if we have had some moderate score on the score board! the responsibility and the fear of making the runs makes one more cautious and the player then tarts behaving himself on the ground! So I think this thing may not happen again in the future and you can take this as one of the freak thing that have happened! Let us hope to see a good match on Sunday and hopefully the Indian fans' complaints will be taken care of by Our team by winning against West Indies in a fashionable way! All the best to the Indian Team! Thanks for responding!
