Infosafe100 foretell came right when it said SA will choke Dhoni's team in final 1 dayer at SA where India lost the match as well as the series win played in South Africa just a fortnight ago. India faltered in batting while South African JP Duminy, Hashim Amla 116 not out gave great start and in the end following the big total Indian team led by MS Dhoni could hardly stand tall and 'choked' like South Africa untill Yusuf Pathan came from the ashes and gave and airtale century but still the Jack Kallis team managed to win. Jack Kallis today ,Feb 9, 2010, explained why South African team led by Greame Smith this ICC CWC world cup 2011 is poised to win it (see Yahoo cricket page).

Despite Kapil Dev's repeated airings that this team (MS Dhoni & Co) is better than the world cup team of 1983 which eventually lifted the world cup fighting the mighty West Indies then, but yet if one is to go by the statistics, India are only one time Runners up for the coveted Item whereas the Aussies and England etc are two times runners up, this might tell some story to come as well as the 'Choke-management' that has been displayed by the Kallis, Smith, Duminy and Devilliers team very recently----- there is no doubt this time in the World cup 50-50 Mens event being played at Indian surroundings that entirtely a new team and aSTEADY team will have power to surprise and life the Bejewelled Item ICC CWC, starting in the February mid 2011.

Feb 27, 2011, What a match that was ----- all words fail to describe but right from beginning -----the Alert degree ----- shown by the English captain Strauss was splendid ----- He turned the game double way in favour of English team, firstly by fighting despair of loosing the toss and later getting the gut feeling in minds of the Himalayan Indian score of 338 runs on the Bengaluru stadium here in India in current World championships in 50/50 cricket overs for men. Dhoni the Indian cap was probably baffled and fighting ideas what to do until Zaheer Khan in frenzy overs removed 2 vital wickets in just 3 balls and 3rd wicket in 6 balls; "The spirit positive " of gaming cane then to English team as after loosing 7th wicket they just batted and fought back the target 338 runs total laid by superbly played Sachin Tendulkar's 115 runs. Will this match turn as a lesson for either underconfidence or overconfidence in Indian team which shines anyway. Also it shows England team will emerge as strong contender to win this 2011 world cup where it was left by the Graham Gooch team when England lost to rival team in finals and Mike Gatting's reverse sweep shot was at the thunderstorm.

The strong Indian team led by Dhoni seem to be confusing every time Yuvraj Singh comming to help it out in dying overs; yet no other team has defeated Indian team in 2011 world cup as did the South African team in chase making victory with sixer in final over hence the strong underdog contender and hitherto most deserving if not most favourite team the South Africans have a clarity chance if their eye-balls and min-set is as good as this season defeating Indian team twice or thrice. Sri Lanka with Malinga's hattrick and Afridi's Pak are hot favourites too but SL will make mistakes in selecting bat or field, India and Australia are too heavy to 'run' through being in excessive cricket and lacking strong chasers. The Quarter finals start on 24 March 2011 at 2.30 pm IST

March 24, 2011, 6.19pmIST, Motera stadium with fervour of India vs. Australia world cup Quarter finals experienced the somewhat unexpected air, whereas Indian team was a good favourite and did good to hold Aussies to a grand scoring but Ricky Ponting got it away playing his best game hitting a comfortable century against Indian attack of Zaheer Khan and Yuvraj Singh, the latter did not shine today to help India. It was really Harbhajan Singh who could have checked Aussies for a bigger total but in the 48th over of todays game he unexpectedly gifted 5 runs off first ball (bye) which could be the turning point of the match if Aussies win this game whereas Aussies have a good spin trio to play today with Shane Watson, Tait who could tilt game. Aussies made 260 runs after winning the toss today at Motera Stadium, India, and India will have to chase an unnecessary bigger total of 261 to win.

Hyderabad, India, With the telecast covering 118 countries all over with as many channels, world is waiting to see a champion in waiting (NZ?) or the waiting champion PAK, IND or the SL?

On wednesday a decider will apart IND & PAK to championship of world cricket as the Kiwis are constant. Indian captain has so far managed unexpected wins thru Yuvraj Singh and the team hasn't had a great thumping win so far in the icc 2011 championships like did the Srilankans and Pakistan team managed an all out 10 wicket victories but stats show the upper hand of India so lets wait and see to the finals on April 2, 2011.

Score 138, overs 34, wickets 3, time 5pm IST, The Semifinals being played between and in Srilanka now is pointing towards a relatively bigger total to somewhat >300 runs; winning the toss and deciding to bat first the Newzeas started so well and so confidently with openers Brendon McCullum that it looked quite but both Guptil and McCullum got out as now and Jesse Ryder is starting to reign in with confidence. From start the professional type of touch with quick occasional 4s the Newzealanders are showing great constraint against the hot favourite team Sri Lanka that the confidence as at now seem to be lacking both in Lasith Malinga's bowling, getting good turns, but not the required. This and the easy clearings of 4's from NZ is telling story of another astonishing win, if they win they make history to enter Finals of any world cup which seem possibility and thus NZ grooving to give a shock of over 270 runs to Srilanka looks imminent now at 5.10 pm IST, India.

ICC 2011 Men's World cup cricket will have another feather in todays enthralling game India vs. Pakistan at 2.30 pm IST at Mohali, India, actually it has turned up like a fortress of fullest security as the VVIP's of twin nations are to wittness the great PEACE-MAKER tie.

India are placed slightly up-favourites as they climbed up >300 runs score vs. England but the Pakistan team led by Afridi did not bat to trple century total so far. In todays match the winning of toss as well as batting first will have the script. If India bats first they are poised to near 270 runs total whereas at Mohali 258-268 scores are perhaps average. It will be difficult for pak to chase the runs above unless sensible batting by Misbah, Afridi etc; whereas if Pak bats first and crosses 269 mark then its going to be an knock-tie for India.

Its all over now, The world cup 2011 men'c cricket 50/50 Final being played right now at Wankhede stadium Sri Lanka have won the toss and elected to Bat first (rightly) and they may reach a total score of above 270 to 280 to put pressure on the most anxious team India to win the world cup 2011 (infosafe100 predicta as it came true in the semifinals when it said India would score <268 5 hours earlier the match had begun at Mohali). Plus point Srilanka are their record wins in big matches and the recent chase with the Aussies last cup, hence SL would be "All is well" for the cup but India having come over great strides has the home advantage especially Wankhede stadium to which place Sachin Tendulkar belongs, if Tendulkar fails its going to be good luck for SL and if Dilshan fails its going to cost heavy otherwise.
