This time India is lucky enough as they are hosting the Cricket World Cup 2011 with Sri Lanka and Bangladesh .But, it is assumed that despite being the organizers of the cricket World Cup 2011, subcontinent teams like India and Sri Lanka will not be able to win this World Cup.
India has been considered a strong team this year but winning the World Cup 2011 might not be easy for them. India has a balanced team with enthusiastic players but there are no truly dependable players. If the key batsmen are unable to hit the purple patch, then it will be extremely hard for India to put up a good show in this year's cricket World Cup.
But as always, cricket is an unexpected game and no prediction, perception will work for it. Medium pacers would be losers on the Indian pitches this year. Irrespective of what transpires out on the ground, the expected winner is England and Australia this year as both these teams have the perfect balance of spin medium and fast bowling along with their professional batting lineup. West Indies and New Zealand don't have the required pace and rhythm of batsmen and bowlers in their respective teams. Sri Lanka also hasn't left any evidence of mind blowing performances in the recent past. It is assumed that despite being hard working this time, New Zealand will not be there in the finals. England and Australia will be facing off each other in the final of this great event.
Countdown has begun now, so the bookies are also busy in evaluating the performances of individual teams. Cricket is a game of different angles and every aspect is being considered to guess about the winner.
This is a game of zeal, enthusiasm, but there is also a dark side, that is gambling.
Cricket is not a simple gaming event now. It has achieved giddy heights in the world of glamour and money. This year ICC has ensured that there will be no gambling yet there is a lot of gambling in it as players with high reputation and fame have become an indispensable part of this crime.
Now days, cricketers are like film stars, celebrities with fans and followers. Commercialization has made sports, specifically cricket another glamour industry. There is always an evidence of emotion present in cricket. As the World Cup 2011 is knocking on our door wise and novel ways of playing cricket should be evolved by the administration.
