India managed to beat Bermuda convincingly by 257 runs keeping hopes alive of going into the Super 8s.. the Indian team supporters have already been through a Rollercoaster Ride..
- First the warmup match victory against Netherlands which was better than the win against them in CWC 2003 so we were supposedly on the right track..
- Next up the match against the West Indies.. this is always tricky coz the moment u beat the host nation all the fans there will start booing u in all ur games.. we secured a win n got boos for sure.. coz we beat them by 9 wkts.. the win made the fans back home feel we are all set to dominate this time round like we almost did last time except for the Australia games..
- So here we were up against the Minnows Bangladesh.. in the first few overs it became crystal clear we had a fight on our hands the way they fielded throwing bodies all over the place n the disciplined bowling by their pacers n spinners also their batting showed they knew how to handle the situation something we could learn..coz we lost the match during our batting we being unsure whether to grind it out or to attack in style..
- The good thing that happened was that this win for Bangladesh makes Group B real interesting coz Sri Lanka n India can't take things lightly any more..speaking of whom when we go on to play them on this Friday no matter what happens between them n Bangladesh we have a chance why coz
- In World Cup games the scenario reads.. in the 5 games played so far Sri Lanka has won 3 n we the remaining 2..Arey woh log jyada jeeta na.. so whats good re? ya but we won last two times with big margins.. courtesy Ganguly (183), Dravid (145) n Singh (5-31) helping India to a 157 run victory in County Ground,Taunton, CWC 1999 and courtesy Tendulkar (97), Sehwag(66), Srinath (4-35) n Nehra (4-35) helping India to a 183 run victory in New Wanderers Stadium, Johannesburg, CWC 2003
