I will just like to add that I think this group is gonna be played in Trinidad. Trinidad pitches as I have known possess high bounce and the Indians are a bit uncomfortable with that. Seeing India's poor record of playing in the Caribbean - although Trinidad has been one of their lucky venues - I think that SRI will top the group.

If that is the case, SL will easily dominate the group with their more than able pace attack. If we see one to one comparisons of bowlers in 3 test teams Vaas-Zaheer-Mortaza Malinga-Munaf-Shadat Maharoof-Pathan-Rasel Fernando-Agarkar-??? when variety and penetrance and accuracy is concerened SL has a much better seam attack. Don;t forget who's going to follow that attack as well. |

It s tough bw India and Sri Lanka --- India team is back on the forms and Sri Lanka looks stronger while having fast bowler like Malinga and the bowler who has good length is Chaminda especially the dangerous spinner Muralitharan and dont forget the Jayasuriya cracking shots - lolz -- it s tough now

I think India or Sri Lanka maybe even Bang are going to get 400+ against Bermuda.

Probably the one group where an upset is a possibility.
Bangladesh know that one mighty performance against the big two will
probably earn them a super 8 place and plenty of dosh!

India should make it through but they need Sehwag on the carribean pitches he was top scorer in the series against them last year in the ODI's & Tests followed by Mohammad Kaif who also had his best ever series with the bat in Tests and also 2nd in ODI's behind Sehwag. |

Trinidad is a bouncy wicket, so who can't handle bounce well are dead meat in this case it's india. Sehwag did well here in the last series, so i am hoping he can do some more damage in the caribbean.
I do believe sri lanka will win the group because of their bowler.

I agree with you Sledger, if one of the Bangladeshi batsmen manages to makes a big score then we will probably able to win a match, provided we don't concede 270+ |

Agarkar will be a good option for India to go with. In the recent series between West Indies and India in the West Indies....I think Agarkar was the best bowler (judging from both teams). He really impressed me in that series and I think that he definately deserves to be on that squad for the world cup matches!

Maybe you could head down at the oval Daisy! It should be fun and I know it's gonna be a ram pack stadium for sure 'cause there are a lot of persons of Indian ancestors down there.

Yes that's true the stands will definately be packed for the matches that India plays in here in Trinidad! I would like to go but I'll have to work on getting those tickets! There's only one good match in my opinion though...the one between SL and Ind so that's the only good one in Trinidad. Are you going over to St.Vincent for any of the matches?? That's if there are any matches being played there...I really don't know.

Eng and Aussie are playing here but I haven't landed hands on the tickets yet. I shall get in contact with the center soon. Anyways, the Domestic limited overs - KFC cup - semi-finals and finals are here. 14, 15 and 17. I am going to the finals for sure. I think it's free so....that would get me in the groove for the WC. |

Oh yeah daisy, BFM is from the caribbean. Anyways, I simple can't see India winning this WC. They are very poor in the caribbean. The finals of the WC is playing in Barbados and India has just won 1 out of 13 matches there. I think they have played 8 ODI's there and that's the format the 1 win came. Bounce is there in Barbados and that's why they don't perform well there. |

yeah I realised that later on...but I had already posted the message....I know I could have editted....but......
Don't underestimate India spin. Maybe they can pull off a few games. I won't go by statistics for this one......even though you do have valuable points.

You have a point! They usually play poor on SA soil but they managed the wc final last time.

I think this will be an interesting group. It is probably the only group where one of the lesser countries could qualify, and I think it really could happen. I'm tipping Sri Lanka to narrowly top the group, but the India V Bangladesh game will be incredibly difficult to choose a winner from, however I think you have to tip India so it'll be Sri Lanka followed by India followed by Bangladesh followed by Bermuda.
