The way our Indian cricketers are playing its now really is doubt that even in India will reach to Semi-final.

I watched all of indian matches, but last two matches india played with [Ireland and Netherlands] its leading that either Indian cricketers has too much pressure on them or thery are not giving their 100% or they are over confident that they can win the match without any efforts.....

Whatever is reason but Last match with ireland was hard to chase 207 runs and found most of our batsman was struggling when they are batting, same thing happened today with netherlands, the way India lost the wickets was terrible.......

do you think Indian cricketers has more pressure to win all the matches or our team are not playing well?

Still we have to go for more matches which will be tough with SA, WI, AUS, PAK, NZ, SL, etc...........

No, India will not win the world cup. They are already struggling with menows like Netherlands and Ireland. Wait until they meet Aussies, SA, Srilanka and yes even Pakistan. Their bowling is at it's worst that I have seen in the recent times. Batting is still the same and just like a pack of cards it falls when 1 or 2 wickets go down in quick succession. Once Veeru and Tendu are gone, you can pretty much wind up the innings.

Yes, pressure is there. But then pressure is a part of these big tournaments. Also, I think as long as India rely upon only one sport, i.e. Cricket, there will always have an immense pressure. I highly doubt Aussies have that highly inflated pressure level as they play more than one international sport with excellence. So the pressure is less on the countries with more than one national and popular sports.

I reiterate, India will NOT win this world cup. My bets are on South Africa and Australia.

nothing is impossible. pray and world cup will be ours.

My analysis:

SA, England, Srilanka, pakistan choked under pressure and been defeated in the current WC.

Australia currently not playing well and can not win. India, though faced loosing situations came out as winners. India is the only team able to face the pressure and could win in the ongoing WC.

So this is India's world cup.

It is very difficult to predict especially in One Day cricket as winners are they who perform on the day. There are 14 teams and 8 teams are strong. In this world cup I can see all the teams struggling including South Africa, England, Australia, Pakistan and Shrilanka.
In this competitive sports victory is won in inches not in miles.
Still my gut feeling goes with India because of the following reasons.
(1)We are playing on Indian conditions.
(2)We are the best betting side in the world(Despite the fact of recent struggling against Ireland and Netherlands)
(3)We have the best(cool, dynamic and proactive) captain MS Dhoni.
(4)World best opening pair of Sachin and Sehwag.
(5)World best middle order with Yuvi, Dhoni, Yusuf.
