What is common between 1983 world cup final date and 2011 Final?

say 1983. The eyes of every sports-lover in the country will go wide. 

It was the year that Kapil and his men won the World Cup for India defeating the mighty West Indies and ended their supremacy in the shorter version of the game. 2011. 



There is enough chance for us to repeat the magic with Men In Blue led by MS Dhoni ready for the finals of the ICC World Cup Finals against the Lankan Lions.

What is common between 1983 and 2011. It's not just that World Cup was played and Indians entered the finals.

But also the calender suggests that the days corresponding to the date are common between 1983 and 2011.

Both the year starts on the same day. So many say that this commonality might have something to say with India cricket team. 

They opine that if India won the World Cup in 1983 cricket world cup final, they would do it this year too.

'It is pre-determined. Hopefully this would propel Indian team to win the coveted trophy. 

Sure the magic of 1983 would be recreated', says an avid cricket-fan. Another say, ' our boys would go ahead to conquer the final frontier and win the cup. Its Go India Go, conquer the world'.

Wankhade Stadium will be buzzing with activity on Saturday. fasten your seat belts and get ready for the action.

Mumbai- The whole nation is gripped by the Cricket World Cup fever. 



So, the glamour world is. Indian Famous model Poonam Pandey has decided to go glamour stills in front of the entire stadium if India wins the World Cup.

Poonam declared “I am a cricket fanatic and I am a diehard supporter of my nation. India needs a lot of support and this is my way of supporting the team.”

When asked if she is doing it for advertising she stated “Absolutely not. I am confident of my body and I’m doing this to excite our boys to play better.”

With this she will track the footsteps of lingerie models Luciana Salazar of Argentina and Larissa Riquelme of Paraguay, who have vowed to strip themselves if their favorite team wins the Fifa World Cup.

Poonam is ready to go glamour in face of the cricketers in their dressing room. If law and the Board of Control for Cricket in India allow then Poonam has no qualm of undressing herself in the stadium.

Pressure on England and Sri Lanka says, Sangakkara

Colombo, March 25 (AFP): Kumar Sangakkara refuses to believe Sri Lanka will be the only side under pressure before a packed home crowd in their quarter-final on Saturday, saying England will also feel the intensity.



The 1996 winners go into the last of four quarter-finals with huge expectations, but Sangakkara was confident his players were capable of handling the situation.

"What you lose is a semi-final berth, so I don't think any side is going to want to lose that. So wherever you play that incentive is going to be there and all sides feel that pressure equally," said Sangakkara.

"I think it will be there (pressure), but that kind of thinking goes out of the window when you cross the boundary rope. I am sure players will feel the crowd, they'll lift themselves and do well."

How good are India’s opponents in World Cup 2011 Cricket?

No matter how tough or weak a team is on paper, a lot of its fortunes depend on how strong or weak its opponents are. India are now in that kind of a position going into the 2011 World Cup Cricket.


No doubt Gary Kirsten’s men in blue start as favourites on paper to win the popular title but will the opponents stand in India’s way? Not badly enough as this time’s opposition is among the weakest for any defending champion since 1992.

Given the two key parameters of design and quality of opposition, it would be fairly safe to say India's World Cup challenge begins at the quarterfinal stage.

This will effectively means India would need to win three matches in a row to become the World Champions. That is where the big challenge will be for Kirsten's boys.

It is a fairly easy group for India, who should comfortably travel through to the last eight. After all, you only need to finish as the fourth best performer in your group to flow through. 

But, within the group battle, India should look to stop on top of the group as that would put them in a good position to face a weakfish opponent in the battle for semi finals. 

For that to occur, India will have to be on song from the word go. So, let us look at how India's probability could be impacted by their opponents in World cup 2011.

Kirsten may join Mumbai Indians after India stint

Johannesburg, Jan 26 (PTI): India coach Gary Kirsten is not in the running for a similar job in the South African side but could be involved with Mumbai Indians in the IPL, a report said on Wednesday.


According to the report, Kirsten's good rapport with Sachin Tendulkar could lead to the former South African opener being appointed in a top position in Mumbai Indians which is to appoint a director of coaching before the IPL IV.

"Indian cricket had hoped to persuade Kirsten to change his mind about not renewing his contract, but gave up on it this week. Future options for Kirsten could involve the Indian Premier League," a report in The Times said.

"The close relationship that Kirsten has with Sachin Tendulkar may lead to co-operation between the two at the Mumbai Indians, who are expected to appoint a director of coaching before the next IPL season," it said.

"Kirsten could easily take up such a position while still developing his international academy that is in the planning stage at Claremont Cricket Club in Cape Town," it added.

Kirsten, who will quit as India's coach after the World Cup ends in April, is reluctant to take up the Proteas job when caretaker Corrie van Zyl steps down, also in April.

The report also said current India bowling coach Eric Simons could not be ruled out as a possible candidate to replace Kirsten.

"The Indian cricket board has not yet started a process to recruit a successor to Kirsten, but it is not unlikely that it will approach Simons as a candidate. Simons, a former Proteas all-rounder and national coach, was highly regarded by the Indian team when he came aboard this summer," the report said.

Meanwhile, the South African coaching job is likely to go to Duncan Fletcher. The former England coach has been advising the South Africans and it is understood he would be available.

Fletcher's coaching credentials would be hard to resist for Cricket South Africa, whose chief executive Gerald Majola recently promised a 'big name' for the job when Van Zyl's term ends, the report said.

Sania Mirza getting qualifies for Australian Open

MELBOURNE: Sania Mirza booked a berth in the women’s singles key draw of the Australian Open with an easy straight sets victory over Canada's Stephanie Dubois on Sunday.

The 24th stone Indian triumphed 6-2, 6-3 in one hour and 13 minutes in the third and final round of the qualifying contest.


Australian Open 2011

Sania had to go through the qualifying route due to low ranking as she has slipped to 145th spot due injuries last time of year.

Sania dropped her serve twice in the first set but the Canadian offered additional chances as the Indian converted four of five to put her nose ahead.

Sania cashed in on an unreliable Dubois, who faced seven breakpoints in the second set and the Hyderabad converted three of them to seal the win.
