Re: 2nd Quarter-Final: India v Australia at Ahmedabad, Thurs March 24
batting second and chasing under lights will not be easy either esp. if Aussies do go on to post a 280 +/- total. So both teams need to be 'mentally' prepared either way
but previous games had the same conditions as well, chasing under lights that is
:)

**I have a question with indians!
indians who are posting here and indians who are living in india, my question is for both, but answer separately:**** 1- what you heart says, who will win?
2- what your brain says who will win?
3- what do you say, who should win?
**(instructions: answer all 3 questions, leave blank q1 and 2 if your not sure about heart and brain)

^:cb: true..but the Australians have been way more ghamandii and over-confident than any other team…its time for them to land on their butts and stay like that for sometime!
Re: 2nd Quarter-Final: India v Australia at Ahmedabad, Thurs March 24
I can totally see india under pressure. Look, India is a great team but they haven't been able to prove themselves in the big matches (pretty much similar to pakistan i would say).
This is where australia scores over india and pakistan! Mental toughness.
Aussies play mind games with a confidence that they can support it with a solid performance in the match. Asians can play mind games but that puts them into more pressure than anyone else.
India may be better than ausies at this point given the team, venue but mental toughness.... hmm.. thats where it will lose.

By the way, I would wish for Pakistan winning the world cup. If pak can't then I would go for either India or SLanka over any other foreign teams. If not India/SLanka, i would wish England to win. They are just nice team and should win at least one. Australia would be last on my list. Even after bangladesh!!
