No quiz, just a guess
by Sandeep M on Mar 15, 2007 07:59 PM   Permalink | Hide replies

Till date nobody has ever scored a double century in one day matches!!
In this WC, Virender Sehwag or Uthappa will score a double hundred against the minnows Bermuda if we BAT FIRST!!
Dravid always wants to bowl first, if you want to break records, then you should do it against the minnows by BATTING FIRST.
This WC will see the first double century in one day internationals! that is my prediction!!
and the prediction is that Indian will do it, cos Bermuda is a team of jokers and they are in our group.
there are other minnows too but none of them are jokers!!

We can only hope that something like that really happens. As far as our team is concerned, I think the real mess has been in the selection of Pathan. He has been real awfull as a bowler in all the recent matches. He is continuously bowling wild full tosses, wides, long hops. Although he got three wickets in the warm up match against the WI, his bowling stint has been pathetic

and how do you justify Sehwag's inclusion?? atleast Pathan took 3 wickets in the warm up matches which will hopefully boost his confidence.

Sehwag, perhaps I agree with you. Only time will tell whether we are wrong or not. What I wanted to tell about Pthan is that his bowling form has almost reached the bizarre state. The wides are tooooo wide and quite a few in number, going beyond the edge of the pitch. Few of the full tosses are almost waist high. These are the things which shows that he is extremely low on confidence
