The Dutch are big on the production of milk and milk products. Most districts produce their own unique cheese and open cheese flea markets are a big social event. But look, the Dutch cricket team seems to be sponsored by Amul! Its funny.
No Chawla. No Ashwin. Hmm. Its a good thing that we’re batting first.
I’m playing fantasy cricket on cricinfo. I’m up against Chappell and Boycott. I’ve opted for all spinners, a couple of my all rounders too bowl spin, and some of my batsmen too might get the odd over. What are my chances?
The ICC is talking about reducing the number of teams to 10 for the 2015 WC. I’ve always wanted this, but now that it is being seriously considered, I feel sorry for the associate teams if that were to happen. The humble Ireland, Canada, Netherlands, Kenya… poor chaps, and good people.
What out for Ireland. I think you can expect them to cause an upset or two. And Canada gave England a run for their money in the warm up game. I don’t expect them to actually beat a test playing nation, neither do I see the Netherlands pull one up. You never know with Kenya though.
I haven’t seen Ireland, Canada, Netherlands or Kenya play recently… But I liked how the Irish played last time
Ireland have been playing like champions in the ICC trophy for a while now.
I think it’s quite possible to see an upset like that because I feel the standards of the minnows have improved and the standards for some test playing nations have come down a few notches. So the gap is smaller than what it used to be.
Australia is no longer invincible, though it still has a formidable bowling attack and an in form Watson.
India is the only nation which has improved but the bowling is still a little weak.
Sri Lanka and Pakistan are unpredictable and can make any side look silly–sometimes themselves.
After the Ashes England were hailed as the next big thing and favorites along with India to lift the cup.
But then they forgot that Test cricket is not one day cricket.
As usual West Indians and Kiwis are here to promote tourism and Zimbabweans are here to write home about their experiences of a phenomenon called “Lunch”.
The Proteas have a tough looking side just like all their previous sides so it’s not unusual that most of us are counting on them to choke just like all their previous sides.
So basically, ya I think the championship is open and it’s anyone’s cup of Chai.
Ha Ha Ha West Indians and Kiwis are here to promote tourism?? Aren’t you being a bit harsh on them.. especially the kiwis.. But well said…. I myself don’t feel Team India are favorites… Yes they are in with a good chance.. but there are a lot of teams who will keep getting better over the tournament… and don’t count Australia out just yet… If there’s one thing they know a thing or two about, its how to win world cups… sri lanka is also a good team. i feel… they have a well balanced batting and bowling unit
Hehehe ya me too… I have this uncomfortable feeling that Aussies are gonna have the last laugh.
I think that Ashwin is an excellent bowler and Chawla has done magnificently. So should India play 3 spinners or drop Harbhajan. I doubt that they’ll drop Harbhajan. I’d be tempted to though. So one of Ashwin and Chawla might be doing water-boy duties.
I think Piyush Chawla will get a game ahead of Ashwin… He picked up 4 wickets against Australia in the warm up game…. I don’t think anyone will make Harbhajan do water-boy duties… He might slap Sreesanth who is very likely to be sitting next to him 
I’d be surprised if Ashwin is dropped.
Sandeep, and

I don’t think its too late. It is all about how you use your 40 substitutions. I’m saving mine for later. I haven’t amassed too many points in the mean time. Sunny days are yet to come.
