What a knock they are playing in West Indies!!! They just kicked out west indies for 85 runs!!! That was the dream come true. Oh my god they are playing as they are the best team in the world. Munaf patel has bowled them out from the field. Pathan also joined the party. But the main part has done by Zaheer and Agarkar. If they couldn't break the opening partnership they couldn't stop them in 85. Pathan came and he was looking norvous. Lots of wide balls he has given. But he got the big wicket of Brian Lara. The win against Nedarland for huge runs and the last win against West Indies, India got lots of confidence and lots of spirit for the world cup mission. If they can show this type of game in World cup, it is possible for them to beat all the team and grab that cup. It is also possible for them to beat Australia in W.C. Are you guys agree with me?

The team still has a long way to go if it wants to win the world cup!!
I think the practise games we have had and won have been against realtively weaker teams!
The biggest headache is still sehwag and i hope he starts scoring some runs.
The two other important middle order players have had very less batting practise,i.e yuvraj and dhoni!!
Pathan and patel have picked up wickets but still are bowling very slowly with an average speed of 120kms/hr.They'll be smashed by good batting sides if they ball too slowly!!
But all in all i hope and wish team india wins the world cup this time!!

India has been playing good professional tough cricket and giving clinical performances recently. But i think we should not read too much into these warmup games as though every team wants to win them but more than that they tend to play all their reserves and it is 13 a side and not 11 a side. And it is too early as most teams are trying to come to terms with pitch and conditions and are busy finalising their strategies for the world cup.
Nevertehless i agree more than the wins itself, i feel the good form of our key players esp. the bowling looks good, as both pacers & spinners are looking in good form.
Besides some of our key batsmen sachin & dravid alongwith utthapa & kartik are looking in good form. Pathan is also seems to getting his form back.
I feel we should first think of winning our group matches in world cup as India's group is the toughest as we have sri lanka & bangladesh to contend with. Only when we top the group & qualify for super eight can we start of thinking of winning the world cup.
I don't think australia has any advantage in this world cup and can beaten by top sides like India as can be seen from their recent slump in form, even bangladesh has defeated them.

i am sure that india can beat Australia even before.but the thing is that they shud play welll collectively....well coming to the matches that india played just before the world cup....i think we cant come to an conclusion about india winning WC or not winning...these are just practice matches...and remember that..in match against netherlands none of the younger batsman played well...its only sachin and rahul whomplayed well...and in the second match ...bowlers did a great job.....but i still say that we cant come to conclusion that india is going to win WC.
