India are still going to win the world cup!!

Yes, I had waited for the Ind-SA match for at least a week .. Yes, I was shattered after the match and yes, I am disappointed even now but lets try to see the positives out of today's loss..


  • Indian bowling and fielding was finally much better. Yes, two dropped catches and one missed run out and a bad last over, but overall it was much better.
  • India now will not be regarded as favorites and will not have much pressure.
  • There is a high probability of India getting complacent in the knockout stages, if they hadn't lost any match before that.. 
  • Finally we know that our tremendous batting line-up can collapse too... even after a start like 267/1 after 40 overs.. perhaps the lesson learnt, as Dhoni said, is "You don't play for the crowd.. you play for the team"
  • Maybe Dhoni realizes that Kohli should be brought in sooner rather than later. No matter what the situation is.
  • Sachin is scoring against the biggies.. yoohoo!!
I still feel that we will lift the world cup...
