You can there are 8 all rounders in the above. If they practice batting as well as bowling well, we can have no problems. Why Australia, England, Pakistan,West Indies, New Zealand, and Srilanka are giving fight till the end because they are very good in fielding, bowling and then only batting. If you take Australian team, Mcgrath,Bret Lee,Clarke,Hogg, Bracken, they bowl well to all out the opponents to see that their team wins. Then it is very easy to bat for Hayden,Gilchrist,Ponting,Symonds and others to chase the run very easily. Take West Indies, Chris Gayle,Brian Lara,Chandrapaul, Marlon samuels play well. If you take any side there are only 4 or 5 batsman play well. But bowlers win matches. Moreover they are all very good fielding side when compared to India. I am very sorry to say that there are only few Players who field well for India. Take Pakistan,they are also same like our side,they got 7 good batsmen including all rounders, and four best bowlers to win matches for their side. They are a very good fielding side than India. We have to improve a lot in fielding as well as we have to rotate the strike always instead of waiting and hitting for fours and sixes. When others are taking two for the throw, we should also run fast for the 1st run and go for the 2nd run quickly.
If you take into consideration of all these, definitely I can say that our Indian Team will play well and win World cup.
Tku very much for the opportunity given to me in writing this message to the Board.
