Pretaining to the Bangladesh and Kenya issue.
Every team has to become good eventually. Eventually after sometime Kenya and Bangladesh will be defeating teams more frequenty, it happened with every team.
I don't tend to laugh, because then I feel like a ignorant English, when they laughed at Pakistan, and Pakistan showed them up at their own home many many years ago.

your messages seemed to be so pathetic and now this is one of them. i don't know which 20 years u r talking abt, but India won the world cup in 1983, was in the semi-finals for the 1987 and 1996 editions of world cup. So i don't know what you are talking about. Come up with something more constructive.

If you spoke any English you would know what I was talking about. India haven't been to the finals in 20 years (since 83 eg; 2003-1983=20 years) since 83 Pakistan has been to the finals 2 times winning 1 of them. Since then India has been to the semi finals twice and lost both of them in humiliation in their own backyard.
If India was pathetic in WC 99 and WC 92, you know why because it wasn't in India. The Indian team of early 80s and 70s were good enough to play outside but the current one has done pathetic in WCs outside home, they lost to Zimbabwe twice, now thats sad.
