Ovi: Tomorrow is the 1st match

Ovi: Tomorrow is the 1st match

Tomorrow is the 1st match

Tomorrow is the First match of ICC WORLD CUP 2011. Bangladesh will
play against India at 3pm (Bangladesh Local Time).
In this World Cup India is a top favourite team. They may be at the
top but they will not take Bangladesh lightly. In the World Cup 2007,
Bangladesh beat India in the first match and for this reason India
dropped out from the first round! They take Bangladesh lightly and
they were rewarded!
May be this time India will take Bangladesh seriously and will not do
the wrong thing that they did in the last World Cup.
Bangladesh have some great players like Tamim Iqbal, Sakib Al Hasan,
Md. Ashraful, Razzak, Junayed..etc. Hope this match will be a great
battle and give us some spectacular moments from both the teams.

Australia losses their 2nd match also.

Austrialia losses their 2nd practise match against South Africa.
They lossed their 1st match against India by 37 runs and now by 7
wickets against SA.
These are practise matches. May be for this reason they are not giving
their full energy to win matches.
Australia's one of the best player Mike Hussie is out of the squad for
injury. They will surely miss him in the World Cup matches.
Only 2 days are left to start the World Cup.
The question is: Will Ponting win this World Cup in the subcontinent?

Cricket India's Tension..

At present Indian Cricket team is at the top of the ranking. They are
playing good cricket. Indian team have some great batsman like Master
blastar Sachin Tendulkar, Virender Sehwag, Gautam Gambhir, Ruresh
Raina, Mahinder Singh Dhoni, Yubraj Singh , Pathan brothes etc .. But
Indian team have a problem. And it's their BOWLER. They have some good
bowlers like Harbhajan Singh, Zaheer Khan.. A team can't depend on
only two bowlers. The world cup will be on the sub-continent so these
bowlers might have the benefit of this. They have a good chance to
prove that they can do well and win the World Cup by their own
efforts. Good Luck...
