World cup cricket 2011

Hi,

Writing the blog after long long time. Cricket fever is on everywhere and i am no exception. Most of the matches played till date have established that associate countries like ireland, kenya, netherlands etc., have really proved their worth and they deserve to be in the world cup league. Most of the pitches in india, bangla and srilanka have played to its true nature. There are batting friendly wickets, occasionally helps seamers but are slow turners. It is not really a great matter, whether a team is going to bat first or second. Toss element is not that crucial as it was in overseas matches witnessed in earlier world cup in England and south africa (20-20 edition).

As far as Indian team performance is concerned, it didn't look like a champion team unlike in 1999 when Ganguly was leading the team. There seems to lethargy from top to bottom in so far as bowling trends are concerned. Poor bowling backed up by dismal fielding performance makes us tough to believe that this team is going to win.

I am quite confident that Indians will go to quarterfinals after that it can be anybody's game due to knock out situation.

We saw glipmses of old sachin during his batting attack. Sehwag is also in good nick. He needs to come good when the team needs more.

If we look at other teams, aussies, new zealand looks like top favourites so far.
