I fail to understand why we Indians are upset at India not making it to the World Cup. Please remember the following facts.
1) India has never reached the top 4 rankings in the past 10 years.
2) Please remember, we won the 1983 world Cup by luck. If it was sheer talent we would not be black washed in all the one days and test matches immediately after the world cup at home.
Mohinder Amarnath the hero of the World Cup had scores of 0 0 1 0 at the test series. The West indies would finish the test matches in less than 3 days and bowl us out in one days in less than 40 overs.

Hi Sanjay, People don't understand this facts. They beleive that our INDIAN team is world beater which totally wrong. As you said we have never been in top 4 in ODI ranking in the past 10 years clearly shows our players INABILITY to perform at INTERNATIONAL level agianst BEST TEAMS. No doubt we can easily hammer minnows which we saw recently against BERMUDA!
BUT I doubt if we can do BERMUDA Carnage against team like AUS, SA??
