India Vs. Australia WC 2015

Should India Win The World Cup?
India has stormed into the semi-finals of the ICC Cricket World Cup and are now a step closer to the coveted 'Champions' title for the third time. As most of India roots for the boys in blue, sociologist Ashis Nandy feels that winning the World Cup might just make India's macho and hyper masculine nationalism more intense. Over the last few months, there seems to have been an effort to make a pluralistic India into a homogenized Hindu state where the space for dissent has diminished, churches are regularly 'robbed', talk of religious conversion is rampant, and there's banning of many things, including beef. In case India wins the World Cup, the fear is that majoritarian nationalism will become more aggressive.


So, do you think it is a good idea for India to win the World Cup?

1.Of course, it is. Why mix sports and politics? If the players have worked hard, they deserve to win.
2.What's wrong with you? Indian team winning the World Cup is a matter of pride for the entire nation, minorities included. Every Indian should be proud if the team does well.
3.No. Sports is often an expression of vigorous, in-your-face nationalism which may not be healthy for a society as diverse as ours.
4.Who cares?

Old stats about SCG and about Indian performance in that ground. I guess that azad Pakistan2009 guy can help.

He must be in a Trauma at the moment.

Who the fcuk is ashish nandy?

That is true, but India also lacks the proper team. You cannot expect rohit sharma and dhawan to build a 100 run partnership. It will be a miracle if they can get to double figures.

There is only one thing that is working on these pitches, patience to stay there and rotating the strike to ease the pressure.
If the Indian openers can do that well and stay calm until 12 or 13 th over with 5 or 6 run rate, they have done their job.

If India wins against Australia, it would lift world cup.

Final is in Australia and Indian bowling is more potent on Australian pitch than that of NewZealand. In Newzealand you have to bowl a lot fuller than Australia in order to get wickets.Indian attack has adapted to bowling short which is the ideal legth to bowl in Australia.

Biggest drawback for Newzealand in this competition has been that they have not played a single game in Australia, even though final is going to take place in Australia (MCG).

DO NOT EVER bowl short to an australian batsman, that ball will be out of the stadium. Unlike in India where pace bowling means 120 km/h the aussies have grown up playing short-pitched stuff. Bowl yorkers, bowl outswing, inswing anything but do not bowl short.

Why the hell do you want to bowl bouncers at batsmen like warner, clarke, smith and maxwell? The score will be 350+ if Indians are stupid enough to bowl bouncers at Australia.

Don't think India can beat the Australians, but I do hope India gives a better fight that what the pakistanis showed today.

All three Indian pacers are bowling at 140 Kmph+ with Yadav even reaching 150's. And today Australians struggled against short bowling. Short bowling is counterproductive when boundaries are short. Everyone struggles against short deliveries when bowled in larger grounds.

In this tournament, Indian bowling has been more reliable than batting. It was bowling which won India match against South Africa as score of 308 is not enough in today's ODIs.

I rate this Australian team lower than Steve waughs team and pointings team.

Koi shak.

In Pointing's era, everone knew that Australia would win WC without doubt. They had three bowlers (Mcgrath, Lee, and Gillespee) who could swing the ball at 160 Kmph+ speed. In this WC, no bowler has even touched 160 once.

This Australian attack may be good but there is very good chance that Indian batting may prevail. In front of that attack, Rohit, Dhawan, and Raina would have been lucky to score in double digits.

India's biggest asset in this and last WC is and was Dhoni. He is probably best captain any team had atm.
