Indian Army leaves to Caribbean

Much awaited by billions of fans to witness the world cup 2007 victory has to be fulfilled by 15 solid rocks. The 15 member squad leaves today(28th march)to westindies for a hunt. This time the team looks more energetic with youngsters and also skillful with experianced lads. Our team will be carrying billions of hopes and prayers from india along with their heavy baggages and also with little worries about their family because their houses will be attacked if they fail to do the fair job in caribbean.

As usual we used to have right combination of players for world cup this time too we have it but the only thing is that this combination should work.Expectations are high from Dhoom Dhamaka Dhoni, sweet Little Master, one n only Dada and Viru from batting department and also from Furious zaheer, Chetan Sreesanth,bale bale Bhaji,gentleman Kumble and injured pathan from bowling department.If these expections are fulfilled by these people then the Trophy will be owned by Hindustan. Eventhough there are better teams in this worldcup we should not give 1% of advantage to others teams no matter whether the team is a champion or a chota.Hope this WC will be a memberable one for everyone not like the one that happened in last world cup.

Bye Bye.....

New rules for World Cup 2007

• The TV umpire can turn down an appeal for caught behind if the replays show there was no contact between bat and ball.

• Among other interesting regulations for the March 13-April 28 event in the West Indies is the provision for moving the matches in case of a dangerous pitch, to continue a match even under a drizzle in certain situations, bowl-outs to break a tie, and powering the Match Referee to suggest suspension of play citing security concerns.
