ICC World Cup 2011: What Hitter Can Trust For The Chase Lead India

If India were to enter the final of the ICC World Cup 2011 and winning the lottery, if the option to bat or first drink.

Let's see if the statistics can help you decide. In general, India has played 754 ODIs, winning 366 and losing 351, for a positive relationship between victories and defeats of 1.04. India have done better bowling first, winning 204 and losing 169, batting first has won 162 and lost 182. Of the 201 times he won the draw in his 366 victories, India has chosen the first field in 114 chances, opting to bat first in only 87 games.

These figures lead us to believe that India is better to pursue a goal. How have pursued in the last World Cup? And hitters have done well on persecution parties crisis? For the purposes of this article, I would define a party as a crisis in case of loss that prevented the team's progress or the next phase.

Therefore, a group game, the result by itself would not preclude the team's progress to the next round would not qualify as a party of crisis, in this definition. In addition, a round robin match or a game whose outcome could be counted in the next six or super-super-eight stage match would qualify as a crisis. According to this definition, all World Cup matches in 1992 qualifies as a party of crisis, while games against teams that eventually qualified for the super-six round World Cup 1999 also counted as part of crisis.

India had two opportunities to pursue in the inaugural World Cup, one against minnows East Africa and one against England in the preliminary group. They won the first and lost the second, but neither was a party crisis itself, such as India that have been beating New Zealand in the third game, which did not. Indeed, India batted first against New Zealand.

In the 1979 edition, India had an opportunity to pursue against Sri Lanka who lost. Had they won, they would have qualified for the knock out all year. Therefore, this qualifies as a crisis of loss of the match.

India won the 1983 edition of the World Cup. It chased a target of 214 against England in the semifinals and won the match by 6 wickets crisis.

Four years later, the parties met again in the semifinals, Mumbai, and was England's turn to win. Set a target of 255, India rolled out of 219.

In the 1992 edition of the Cup in Australia, a matter of round robin where each team played every other, India had only one opportunity to pursue, against England again. England scored 236 / 9 in their allotted fifty overs, and India went for the 227, with four balls to spare. This was the first world cup to provide a contemporary batsman Sachin Tendulkar. Tendulkar made 35 of 44 balls that can be counted as a good contribution in the low-scoring game.

1996 world cup was chasing India against Sri Lanka in a match in the semifinals crisis in Calcutta. Set to score 252 to win, India slumped to 120 / 8 in 34.1, the match was awarded to Sri Lanka after a disturbance crowd at Eden Gardens prevented further play. Tendulkar was batting success exclusive of India, who made 65.

The 1999 edition of the event organized in England gave India two opportunities to pursue. The first results of Zimbabwe's three-run loss to India chasing 253 to win. The last three windows fell into the space once. Dravid was the only batsman to offer contemporary in that game, and scored 13 from 14 balls. In the same tournament, India met Australia in a super-six match, set 283 to win, India slumped to 205 all. Tendulkar failed to open his account in his four innings of ball, while Dravid June 2 balls.

In the 2003 finals, India persecution of crisis occurred in the final after Ganguly opted for the field to win the lottery. Australia set India a huge target of 360. India went for the 234 in the 40 th time. Sehwag scored 82 from 81 balls, while Dravid won 47 of 57. Tendulkar disappointed, Get 4 of 5 balls.

The 2007 World Cup was organized by the West Indies, and the pursuit of India against the Sri Lankan crisis was a matter of life or death in the preliminary group stage. Sri Lanka scored 254 / 6 and in reply, India were bundled out for 185. Contemporary figurative five batters in the game. Tendulkar failed to open his account, while Yuvraj got December 6 balls and Dhoni was out the first ball he received. Sehwag with 48 from 47 balls and Dravid 60 of 82 were the saving grace.

In short, except in the semifinal against England in 1983, India have failed to win in all the persecutions of other crises in ODI World Cups. I have the feeling that the poor record will be invested in the ICC World Cup 2011. And based on past performance, which may depend hitter in this situation pressure cooker? My vote goes to Dravid. But wait, you can not even play in the 2011 edition!
