Group B Mat Won Lost Tied Pts N RR Sri Lanka 2 2 0 0 4 4.59 India 2 1 1 0 2 2.51 B'desh 2 1 1 0 2 -2.00 Bermuda 2 0 2 0 0 -5.00
india's NRR is 2.5 and Bermuda's NRR is -2.0 in that case
if india just manage to win with Sri lanka india's NRR will remain the same and then Bangladesh Will have have to manage NRR of 4.5 in the game against Bermuda to catch up with India's final NRR of 2.5
Bangladesh can do it in the following ways:- if Bangladesh bats first it will have to defeat Bermuda by about 225 runs if Bermuda bats first and manage 200 runs Bangladesh will have to reach the target in about 23.5 overs(if 150 runs then bangladesh will have to reach the target in 20 overs)is that possible?????
Just hope that India manage to win against Srilanka.....!!!!!!!

You have calculated wrongly. If India win SL by 1 run also, then our NRR will become 1.67. If Bangladesh Scored 400 and bowled Bermuda by 0 for all out then also Bangladesh NRR will become 1.44 which is less than India's NRR in otherway also if Bangladesh bowled out Bermuda by 79 runs and reached the target in 2 overs then also their NRR will become 0.01. So, if India want to qualify they need to win lanka by 1 run its enough.

BD will easily win against Ber and get 4 points. If Ind loses to SL, we can kiss WC good-bye. We must be fools to imagine that, if we lose to SL, Ber will somehow win against BD and of Ind, BD and Ber with 2 points each, we will be the tops in NRR. A team losing 2 of 3 in the first round must exit like Pak.

I think u don know bout the NRR calculations. if India manages to defeat SRL with minimum margin the NRR will reduce from the current . will b around 0.8. In that case also Bangladesh will need to defeat Bermuda by a marginn of around 450 or more. Thus India just need to defeat SL.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA THE JOKE OF THE CENTURY DUDE... CAN U FORGET DECLARING THE INDIAN INNINGS WHEN SACHIN WAS SPLENDIDLY BATTING ON 194.. R GETTING GANGULY DROPPED FOR 'COZ GANGULY ASKED HIM TO KEEP WICKETS AS HESNT IN BEST OF FORMS FOR ODIS AT THAT TIME????

1. When Sachin was on 194, Yuvraj just got out and the new ball was sure to come in the next over. Parthiv Patel was the new batsman. If he was going to be hit by Shoaib, Dravid must do wicket-keeping. So, he wisely declared. 2. Two years ago, Dravid foolishly put Eng to bat, after winning toss, in a test in Mumbai. Later, when we batted we were 100/10.

Sehwag Has Already Played His Knock,Now He Is Assured Of His Place For Atleast 10 Innings.
Ganguly Is Now In great Form As An Opener,How Can He Be Stepped Down? How Can We Trust Sehwag?

What would be on display when Shehwag and Uthappa scores a century each ?
1- Shehwag as one of the finest classical batsmen.
SL beat Bangladesh by huge margin of 198 runs. Now, India needs to beat SL anyhow. I think SL is in Super 8. Possiblilites of India are as follows: (1)If India beat SL by a margin of >=185 Then India will be on top of Runrate Table and India will go in SUper 8. (2) if India do not bit SL by >=185 then also Bangldesh has to win by huge margin against Bermuda(mya be >350 runs Margin). I that happens Bangladesh will go in Super 8 and India will be knocked out of WC2007.

Ind will also carry 2 points into Super-8, due to their win against SL. This is equivalent to 1 win there. We can easily beat Ire and Eng. By beating one of NZ and WI, we could enter the SF.

Defenetely India will move to super 8 round
I personally feel that chappell has lost interest in Indian team.I think he knows he won't continue as coach and let anything be the result in wc he has to go, so I think he has lost interest to coach Indian team.
RE:Coach has lost interest in the team...
by Anindya on Mar 22, 2007 10:19 AM Permalink
he was never interested in coaching, he was,is and will be more interested in making money (crores from BCCI).
Rather than taking cricket as a profession i think his carrier would have shaped in a much better way in scientific fields.
So much TV revenue will be lost. Pakistan is already out. There always betting money. Without India there wont be any TV coverage. Without money there is no game. So there will be match fixing and India will win

Sprit of India.
Nice man, I have the same selection of team India for SL. if this will be the team India against SL definetely India will go fo Super 8. my wishes to team India and all Indians.
Will india suffer again ...becoz of the captain calling wrong shots...???? well if u think he cant be responsible alone...he can make a difference....
1.playing agarkar....jayasurya will finish the game for india in the first 10 overs with agarkar opening the bowling. 2.dravid needs to choose between bhajji or kumble uthapa or pathan agarkar or sreesanth or pathan.
BUT JUST PICKING AGARKAR WILL CLOSE THE DOORS FOR INDIA.
WHY INDIA LOST? RAHUL DRAVID IS THE ANSWER.
191 was not easily chaseable on that wicket after looking at the way India batted.the wicket was difficult. But then we had Rahul Dravid making few blunders:-
1.opening the bowling with Ajit agarkar instead on munaf. 2.Asking Sachin to bowl seam rather then spin.for those who dont know Bangladesh bowled 30 overs of spin...predictable left arm....got 6 wickets.maybe Dravid didnt watch the match when india batted. 3.Munaf and bhajji were putting teh pressure then the smart captain got agarkar back. 4.Sehwag came to bowl when they needed 30 to win. 5.two factors that would haev won the game for india.munaf with new bowl and the spin-bhajji,yuvraj,sachin,sehwag.dravid negated the advantage by using them very poorly. 6.Dravid doesnt look like a confident captain while playing against bangladesh.
THE BOTTOM LINE ...INDIA WONT MAKE IT TO THE SUPER 8....ATLEAST NOT THE WAY DRAVID SHOWED HIS CAPTAINCY SKILLS...IF THEY GET LUCKY THEY ARE NOT GOING ANY FURTHER THEN THE SUPER 8.....
I AM HAPPY FOR DRAVID TO BE THE CAPTAIN AFTER THE WORLD CUP...FOR REST OF HIS LIFE...BUT PLEASE FOR SAKE OF INDIA....GIVE IT TO GANGULY....INDIA NEEDS GANGULY NOW AS A CAPTAIN.
RE:RE:Dravid - worst captain
by Anindya on Mar 22, 2007 10:23 AM Permalink
Though I certainly agree with rai that Dravid is the definition of "stupid captain", but still I think Ganguly is not the best choice for captaincy as of now, It shud go to sachin as he is more equipped than anybody else.

Sreesanth was excluded from Champion's trophy. He is only the second player from Kerala, so no clout.
RE:Dravid - worst captain
by amer on Mar 22, 2007 07:11 AM Permalink
No way they can give it to Ganguly now!. Team meetings Greg or someone needs to bring up these points and for Dravid to start beleiving in the following: 1)Agarkar is useless against any team 2)Put faith in Pathan, for he cant do much worse than Agarkar, even at his worst!! 3)Treat Sehwag as a regular Bowler. He is the Harbhajan for us if bajji is not playing. 4)Think about playing Kumble& Harbhajan both along with Zahir,Munaf,Pathan. (If Pathan scr*ws up, relaize it within 2 overs and use Ganguly to fill-in 2-4 overs of medium pace & use part-time spinners for remaining) 5)Give the field Kumble wants. If ur playing certain bowlers trust them fully! 6)Open with Tendulkar, Sehwag at no.3. 7)Use Karthik in the field as much as possible(just let one player be off the field all the time, there is plenty of bad fielders to pick)
