yeah... about time India got smart enough to move Tendulkar back to his opening position.... after all his best innings have always come from him opening.... I guess they didn't want to have Sehwag and Tendulkar to get out cheaply .... but goddamn those 2 opening is as dangerous if not more dangerous than Gilchrist/Hayden at the top of the order.... AND I STILL CAN'T BELIEVE THEY LEFT OUT LAXMAN!


Still at this point IMO .... Australia are top favourites... followed by Sri Lanka, South Africa, New Zealand and India....
I was wondering wat happeend the ol' V.V.S
why they drop him? or is he only a test player?

they dropped vvs cos they reckon he's too slow for ODIs .... but i guess they made a big mistake, he's one of the few indian players who can bat well against fast bowlers on bouncy pitches as in south african pitches

india is back......playing really good. i dont care if they win the world cup now or not.,.....they beat the PAKIS......any pakis here btw.:p

tendulkar is batting so good. unstoppable. if it wasnt for the injury....he was lookin for a huge score.

they r right back into contention.

semis

whom do u guys think wil make it to the semis??

this is what i have in mind : kenya arent gonnah beat any of aus, ind or zim. so they remain on 10 pts n r out. zim can beat only one of the 3 they play n that is kenya. so they end up with just 7.5 pts, and get kicked out !!
among the rest : aus end up on top, india on second, sri lanka on third and nz 4th.
so .........
semis :: aus vs nz ind vs sl

lets see if i'm right .......
ps : i am hereby declaring that my predictions are just a guess and i am in no way involved in match-fixing.

that sounds pretty decent to me. look for tendulker to shine in the super 6 i reckon.

now dont tell me watching tendulkar against the pakis was the same as gilchrist against sri lanka.....they got the same scores, but there was a big difference

I just thought about that after I posted. TEndulkar is a solid player....a freak....but thats about it. The Indian team, as far as I'm concerned, relaly hasnt got anything else all too special to offer.

I mean, come on, Dravid???? I rekon it's better off not getting the guy out, all he does is use up deliveries without scoring

dravid is a good player he's avg sumthing lyk 50 in the world cup and has played 2 match winnign knocks already.....altho his strike rate isnt great it isnt too bad either.

india is pretty much a batting team....restrict the opposition to a realistic total and they can chase it.


tendulkar- 97 against Sri lanka:mad1:.....another century goes begging....jus stats i spose

hmm unlucky tendulker again, but he did the job. man that indian middle order needs a shake up. bring in someone solid like laxman to replace yuvraj singh.

anyway whats all your thoughts on tomorrow night kiwis vs aussies. go the kiwis, should be a good one. wouldnt mind seeing cairns hit a few off mcgrath.
