Originally posted by basant For India to win the world cup all we need is one good innings from Sachin, Sehwag and Yuvraj in the next three matches and a bit less favouritism from the skipper. Sometimes in trying to be different he is coming down the quality curve.

Batting has always been India's strength in all the matches so far. What India needs to do is ruthlessly bat the other side out of the match if they get a chance to bat first.

Where India falters is in putting the final nail in the coffin. The so called big guns at the later stage of innings need to fire or else the above named guys need to stay till the last.

Bowling is India's weak link and if somehow it clicks, things can turn very interesting for India.

Same thing also applies to Australia. Pakis badly exposed them in their match. Plus they have not got any hard fought win under their belt. Most of their wins have been fairly easy, and the one time they faced some real challenge, they faltered badly.

But you know, like most cricket experts have pointed out aptly, they needed this challenge before a big game in the QF or SF (if they reach). I think they will be a changed side when they venture out against India on Thursday. I hope to be proved wrong...Cricket loving Amdavadis like yours truly will be disappointed for sure...
