India's chances in the world cup

                                             They will reach semi finals. this is what i believe strongly. if you look at the past, you should not expect more than this. they had a better chance in 1987, but could not win that. As i said in the earlier post, the other 5 teams (Aus,SA,SL,Pak,Eng) are tough to beat. after the league round, have to win 3 consecutive matches to lift the cup.they have to beat 3 equal opponents in a row, and there are chances that they may not be playing their quarter and semi-final matches in india. considering the past, this can be a difficult one for them. 

                                         in the batting friendly conditions, our batting department looks good (we have some flat track heroes in our team), but they are still scared of the fastest bowlers. And they have some issues in the bowling  department. even an average pinch-hitter can hit them at 12 runs per over in the last 10 overs. out of 50, only 20-30 overs are in safe hands. the remaining depends on their luck. this is going to be a big worry. they don't even defend 270+ scores.
