THE CLASH OF TITANS....

      This may be one of  the most awaited match of World Cup 2011,I'm sure.On March 24 when Australia and India face each other , Motera stadium will definitely witness an electrifying crowd and as that much enthusiastic players.Also the Australian coach Tim Nielsen coined  the term "mini-grand final" for Thursday's match.Both the teams will meet each other  after losing each game in their league matches.But at the same time the advantage goes to the visitor's side as they have won nine of the last fifteen matches played in India in the last five years.Also the pressure will be on the host as they are playing in their home ground and their home crowd with the crowd expecting some thing supernatural and complete entertainment from the Indian Cricket Team.

NOW NOR NEVER

     Batting is the main area of concern for both the teams.While Indian top order batsmen is the best that any team can get in this world cup but at the same time the worst too.With Sehwag ,Sachin on the opening followed by Gambhir,Kohli,Yuvraj,Dhoni... any team can dream of.But the problem is that ,their batting powerplay.Indian team didn't perform well in their bating powerplay in this entire world cup. India lost their 9 wickets for just 29 runs in Chennai and 7 for fifty against West Indies.But regarding team India, this not the only area of concern.Team India's bowling is also equally  thinkable about their performances so far in the worldcup.Only there is one bowler in the team who is consistent through out the series and that is none other, Zaheer Khan.Apart from him none other  was able to prove himself to be consistent.Now I just remember what one of my friend said "Team India is playing this world cup with only two players; one is Sachin Tendulkar and the other is Zaheer Khan.

WILL HAVE TO TRY HARD TO RETAIN THE WORLD CUP

    The same batting department also worries the Australian team.Ricky Ponting and White is struggling to score runs.Their bating weaknesses was evident in their last match against Pakistan when they were all out for 176 runs and suffered a lose from the hands of Pakistan.

INDIA-LAST BREATH....

Can India hold on his last breath????Today they are having the last chance to proceed in the T-20 world cup further.For that they have to beat Srilanka for atleast 20 runs.Then a mere win by Australia against West Indies will do the job for India.I'll explain how it is....
Now India have conceded 63 more runs than that they scored.For Srilanka and West Indies it is respectively 24 and 43 runs.Now if India win today's match by atleast 20 runs,then the difference goes down to 43 runs and that of Srilankawill increase to 44 runs.If West Indies also loose their game then definitely it will be more than 43 runs.Then with the help of runrate India can get into the semis with Australia.....

But the problem is that The match is in St'Lucia rather than Barbados which is more seemingly a typical Srilankan wicket.They will have the advantage of it.It is better to place a board like this infront of St'Lucia: "WELCOME FOR THE PACE-WEARY TEAMS ;YOU CAN CAN GET MAXIM FROM HERE...."

INDIA FLOP....

Thanks to Rohit Sharma for making India's loss in a decent manner.While I was watching India's batting I was afraid that India could make another world record of lowest score in T-20 international.Indian batting line-up were struggling at 32-5.Oh sorry,not struggling they deserve it as any "INDIAN STARS" shown their responsibility to stay in the crease.Every one was competing among themselves to reach the pavilion as fast as possible.I wonder is there any cash prize for "who reach the pavilion first and fast".
Earlier winning the toss Indian captain selected fielding first.But the Aussie batsmen showed it was absolutely wrong as David Warner(72) and Shane Watson(54) struck the Indian bowlers with no mercy.Even though rest of the batsmen couldn't do much it was enough for them-a huge total of 184/5.In reply as I said it was also all....Only Rohit Sharma(79*) and Harbhajan Singh(13) could cross the double figures.Dirk Nannes and Mitchell Jhonson flooded the Indian batting with three wickets each.

THIS TEAM IS REALLY UNPREDICTABLE

It was the team that some days before made a great come back and made the brilliant Australians a bit worried.The same team was horribly managing to make their score board to carry to a hundred run while the team was 32 for 5.Then Praveen Kumar and Ravindra Jadeja managed India to brought a decent score and finally they posted a score of 170 on a good batting wicket in Guwahati.
In reply Australians reached the target without any worries and clinched the series for 4-2 with only one match to be played on tomorrow.

JUST ONE MORE STEP

According to latest ranking published by ICC now the Indian team is in the second position with Australia in the third position.The first in the table occupied by the mighty South Africans.

SOUTH AFRICA :127
INDIA :126
AUSTRALIA :117

The above table shows that the Indians are far above the Australians who was in the top position for about 4 years.But the problem is that the Indian Team is not having any tournaments in the nearby period.Even though the Indian team have failed miserably in the T-20 World Cup they are performing well in the one-day and test matches and soon will be able to be in the top....
