I fail to understand why the focus is on winning world cup. It should be on playing better cricket and playing to win.Let us focus on this and the results will follow. It does not matter whether it is world cup or a series, when our team plays hard, results are bound to be there

...because, if you have a set goal (with a date) you will strive to achieve it....if one generally says 'better cricket, playing to win'....then its the same old story again....all the XI will just float around and some matches will turn our ok and most will be a wash-out!
Why we benchmark the WC is just so that 4yrs are just right to bring the team to the desired expectations. That dont mean, all the other matches dont matter! They do, and hence these games (Test, ODIs' and 20-20s') will be the yard stick to review performance, check for improvements, strengthen the body and the mind, and prepare for the launch for the WC title. Lets also be fair, it is the most sought after one-day title.."World Champions of Cricket:...so lets get the focus right and go out and achieve!
