World Cup Update (21/2/2011)

India won against Bangladesh as expected with batting firing away and bowling doing adequately as they were not under any pressure. Main worry for India will be the bowling as they will not be able to put up huge scores against other big teams that easily. India's best chance against other strong teams will be to face them on spin friendly tracks.

I have not felt the need to catch action on TV after the first match as there is series of mismatches on offer. Last world cup format was good but ICC had to change after India got derailed in the first round.

Crushing of Kenya by NZ, who themselves are struggling shows gulf between test playing and associate teams.

World cup is like a soap opera where some episodes will be interesting........
