See what is really interesting about this group with Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, India and Bermuda
Lets assume that Bermuda loses all 3 games....
And Since Bangladesh defeated India
And then Bangladesh loses to Sri Lanka
But India defeats Sri Lanka
India, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka will all have 2 wins and 1 loss
Then their run rate will decide who advances
If Sri Lanka defeats India, then Bangladesh is guaranteed a spot
So the Sri Lanka vs India game, Bangladesh will be rooting for Sri Lanka
Very interesting

Pakistan and India account for 70% of the entire Cricket viewing population
But China, Argentina and Japan are also starting to play cricket and get good
I wont be surprised if these 3 new teams qualify in 2011

Usko haajme ki beemari ho gayi hai kal raat ke match dekh kar. Double whammy…Irish and Bong Dehshat:D
Re: Game 20, Group B - India vs Sri Lanka - Friday March 23rd
these group stage matches are pretty hardcore
only 3 matches, lose 1 win, and u might be out of WC
Pakistan gone (still cant believe it)
India might follow (cant believe I am saying this either)
Re: Game 20, Group B - India vs Sri Lanka - Friday March 23rd
So news is that : India is contemplating few changes for next 2 matches. Looks like Sachin is going to be back at opening slot with Ganuly. Sehwag will play in middle order 
and Kumble will come in place of Agarkar.
I dont know why all these things are necessary. All the needed to do is boot our Sehwag and Agarkar and bring in Karthik and Kumble. Let Uthappa open with Ganguly..
This love between Dravid and Sehwag looks like similar to Romance of Sachin and Agarkar where he kept supporting him no matter what.
Re: Game 20, Group B - India vs Sri Lanka - Friday March 23rd
Uthappa is crap..believe you me on this.
And yes you are right...This thing about Sehwag...makes me wonder about Dravid.
Re: Game 20, Group B - India vs Sri Lanka - Friday March 23rd
Uthappa is crap..believe you me on this. And yes you are right...This thing about Sehwag...makes me wonder about Dravid.
Agreed. But point is that we have only one extra batsmen Karthik. This means we can only drop one and Sehwag is the prime candidate. Unless you are suggesting that we should drop Agarkar, Sehwag and Uthappa from the team and bring in Kumble, Irfan and Kathik. That wouldnot be bad idea though.
Re: Game 20, Group B - India vs Sri Lanka - Friday March 23rd
^Unfortunately, we cannot drop Uthappa because of the TINA factor (There is no alternative).
My changes would be the following:
Agarkar <-> Pathan
Sehwag <-> Karthik
Harbhajan <-> Kumble
Re: Game 20, Group B - India vs Sri Lanka - Friday March 23rd
Agree 100%…
Sehwag OUT — Karthik IN
Agarkar OUT-- Kumble IN
Also ONE LAST CHANGE- Indian team management and particularly Vengasarkar must insist on dropping SACHIN and and TRY IRFAN PATHAN in his place.
just look in this carefully, Pathan can score as much as Sachin manages to score these days. Pathan can also bowl 4-5 overs like Sachin does and if his bowling can get some wickets he can complete his 10 overs quota.
Also, recently Sachin has developed a test match like desperation to settle down, for this he plays a lot of dot balls and thus wasting valuable overs in ODI game, and eventually when he decides to score some quick runs, he gets out. Pathan will at least have advantage over Sachin in this area.
