Thanks for creating the thread.
I voted for nobody as I will like to see India win the WC for Sachin(he deserved to be in a WC champion squad for gods sake) but at the same time I won't like to see India win for the captain. Yea, I know I sound like a traitor but I said what had in my mind.

I would Love to See India winni'ng WC and Sachin Lifting the Trophy ,
i also Feel SA and ENG have Strong Chance ..

Baker · 08-02-2011, 10:50 AM

of course india want to win....

but am giving fair chance for SA

I think Australia will win the world cup this time. They are in good form right now as they have defeated England 6-1 in the recently concluded ODI series.

gagan007 · 08-02-2011, 11:34 AM

well my heart says India, but there are more deserving teams also. Anyways I am keeping my fingers crossed for a miracle. India should win WC this time.

I am surprised to see, someone voted for Pakistan also? Is this poll open to public too, I mean non-members?

Edit: Nope, it is not.

INDIAAAA INDIA.......
INDIAAAA INDIA.......

will win this trophy for sure....

IronCruz · 10-02-2011, 07:23 PM

Please god let India lose...I need people supporting to Indian Football than Cricket...

gagan007 · 11-02-2011, 11:00 AM

IronCruz: You make me speechless...how would India losing World Cup increase football support? It is not like that we have been winning WC all these years which helped increase cricket-popularity in India!!! People will watch Cricket even if team India wins or loses. You made an illogical point

@gagan007:

It has begun.

R2K · 19-02-2011, 11:29 AM

it looks like PPl are not really excited abt ICC world cup as they were excited abt the FIFA world cup last year .....Atleast not in Kerala

And I think India will win the cup but the whole country was hoping this for last 2 worldcups and u saw what happened with them....

ithehappy · 19-02-2011, 02:47 PM

When will Ppl of India start supporting other games like football and hockey?
I really started hating this stupid cricket with the start of IPL...

Hockey is more popular in the states of Punjab, Haryana and among the tribals of Chhattisgarh, Jharkhand and Orissa.

Cricket as a sport doesn't even come close to Hockey and Football. No idea why Indians like it. Hockey used to be our passion. We were never this crazy about Cricket before the WC 1983 win. A year ago, Pakistan had defeated us 7-1 in the Asiad 82 final. May be that's why? Privatisation of BCCI has also helped Cricket. IHF and its politics fu(ked hockey.

India have done great batting against Bangladesh

V.Sehwag- 175

When the same amount of HUGE financial and managerial backup starts to support those Games.

Me too. I especially hate how the so called BIG BRANDS of India are giving away their money to the retired players/celebrities of other countries and ours too. Can't believe how a country waste that much money when more than 50% of people is still jobless.
Absolutely Idiotic.

Liverpool_fan · 19-02-2011, 08:02 PM

er that's not the country who blows that money. It's the corporates which do for more market image.

ithehappy · 19-02-2011, 08:09 PM

..and with the support of the Govt. No one can Waste such big money without Government's consent, do one?

Liverpool_fan · 19-02-2011, 09:23 PM

Why would companies need government's consent to sponsor players/teams? Certainly you can't expect the government to keep tabs on that

Piyush · 19-02-2011, 10:24 PM

where are kenya and ireland in the options
they are the dark horses

gagan007 · 21-02-2011, 11:22 AM

Liverpool_fan,ithehappy and ico, I understand you guys do not like cricket, but please do not spoil the fun for lesser mortals like me, who love cricket, by posting in this thread. A humble request.
