The World Cup, with this attack!! No Way.

We got out of jail yesterday but after this performance, anyone who thinks India is still a favourite is in dreamland. Of all the major teams, we have got the weakest bowling attack, which is made to look worse by some miserable fielding. No team has won the world cup with such a light bowling attack.
I was wondering yesterday how we would fare with this attack in test matches. At least in one-dayers, the misery has to end with 50 overs but in tests, there is no such compulsion!
I wish I could give some ideas to MSD but we look really bare on the bench too. One thing I can suggest though is that we should field like tigers, which for out pampered lot is easier said than done. Virat, Yuvraj, Raina (when playing), Gambhir and Pathan need to set the tone. That’s the only way we can go some distance in CWC 2011.
