We can have our own little world cup when both teams go home.

Go Leverock.. crush the Bangladeshis!!!

That way, India could still sneak in with a better NRR than Bangladesh(assuming we lose to the Lankans)

Bangladesh will play good against Bermuda , no doubt about it and dont worry India will play good too . Dont assume anything early , just hope for the best and keep ur fingers crossed

It's more about Leverock. I've become a huge fan of him. OMG, I still love that catch he took to dismiss Uthappa.

Well if Bermuda crush Bangladesh which they are more likely to do,India will sail through.

I dont see India have a chance here coz their bowling attack not at their best. Statistics shows Lankans have handled both Kumble and Harbajan very well actually they have unable to perform against them. The other point is India's fielding. If we compare it with Lankans it has a huge gap, Lankans are simply brilliant in the field. Also Lankan attack with Vass and Murali back it's the best attack in the worldcup I think.
So only hope is India getting in to a massive score (like 350+) with their power packed batting line up. Having all the guns firing at the moment it is very much possible. As we can see Lankan middle order is little vulnerable chasing such a total is a big ask for them. So it's the only way India can win this so to do that Dravid will have to take a very brave decision in the toss by choosing to bat first. Given the current condions it seems to be unlikely to happen. So my guess is it will be the worst worldcup outing for India. But thinking only from my heart I wish an India win today.

One man in the Bermuda team is enough to crush Bangladesh.


The name is Russell Dwayne Mark Leverock

Lol... Nice one...
India is going to lose today's game. I think Rahul Dravid will lose the captaincy after the World Cup.

Life For Jayasuriya!!! Life For Jayasuriya!!!!

Whoaaa.... Two lbw shouts off the first two balls for Agarkar off Jayasuriya!! First one was OUT, Hawkeye confirms it, middle off leg stump!

 

[sohum]

Jayasuriya was plumb, but oh well.

Not a good selection I think, but we'll see. Agarkar looks good, while Zaheer looked pretty out of it.

I wish Indian fans refrain from posting such stupid images.... Keep it for the end of the match (if the result goes that way!). There are some Indian fans who are brimming with confidence and excitement for today's match!

Jayasuriya was plumb, but oh well.

Not a good selection I think, but we'll see. Agarkar looks good, while Zaheer looked pretty out of it.

Agarkar was picked just for his ability to prise out Jayasuriya! He has dismissed Jayasuriya 10 times! India know that Sanath's is the big wicket!

Can't wait Bangladesh deserve to go through just for beating India but if fate will go that way is another question. Of course if India can beat SL then they deserve to be in the next round given the way they have gone against their first two teams.

They ought to have beaten Sri Lanka well then.... Or should have lost less comprehensively. I think if India win today, they deserve to go. They havent played that poorly to crash out!

Agarkar looking excellent against the left handers. Seems like a very good selection!

Luck not going our way! Streaky fours, edges, missed LBW, etc... Come on god! give us some luck here!

Jayasuriya second time LUCKY!!!! What the heck is this man?? No inside edge and the ball is crashing into middle and leg stump!!! Not given!!

 

[sohum]

Another LBW shout goes awry.

We need to keep the extras down! Already about 12 in 5 overs!

India off to a good start, then! Jayasuriya caught down at third man.
