Cricket has always been considered as the god of all sports by its fans. With the advent of tournaments, the entire atmosphere changes to cricket mania. Adjustments of the daily schedule starts and cricket enthusiasts stick themselves to either television or websites for catching the live action.

As a statistically minded Australian, the 2007 Cricket World Cup is something that I have been looking forward to for a long time. I am involved in a cricket blog on the topic - Handled the Ball - with my good friend Nick, so get over there for all your cricket needs over the next few weeks.I am sure there will be some good science and some interesting statistics arising from the tournament, but until then, have a vote in my poll and let me know who you think will win - all in the name of science of course. We'll see how close the quoted odds are to how Mr Science readers and listeners think. At the moment, sportstab in Australia have the Aussies as favourites at $2.75, with South Africa at $5.50 - this seems to be some home-town favouritism to me! Sri Lanka at $7.50 is a good bet.If you can not see the poll, go here to vote.

My returning post is about Sport! And not my national sport Football but the usually boring but not so in this case - CRICKET!  Pakistan have made it into the finals against India which should be lovely to watch and of course i shall support Pakistan but if i had to bet i would say India will win - WHY? Because i fear no matter how good Pakistan are they will probably have taken a bribe to loose in complete utter unashamed style and so if u are going to bet, i would suggest u bet on India to win though in my heart i hope pakistan do!

India Vs Australia - India beat Aussies to enter final of twenty20 world Cup Indian players played their cricket against Australia with no fear and that’s what matter when you play against the mighty Aussies. All players are pumped up right from the word go and at the end the results fall in favor of Indian team. A excellent and stylish knock from left-hander Yuvraj Singh (70 runs of 30 balls)

India Vs Australia – Indians take on mighty Aussies A tournament that started 10 days back with 12 teams are now down to 4 team and now they are playing to win the first twenty20 World Cup.

England is almost out of the tournament by loosing two successive matches but they will play for prides against India. On the other hand M.S. Dhoni like to show to the world why he has been named as ODI

What will the status of the Twenty20 World Cup winners be when they emerge victorious from the tournament this month? It might sound an odd question, but think about how absurd it would be in any other sport. Imagine that six months after the FIFA World Cup, another tournament, also called the World Cup, was played with pretty much the same teams fielding pretty much the same players in a pretty similar tournament format with pretty similar viewing figures (both at the grounds and on the telly), but with 45-minute matches rather than the full 90. I’m not questioning the existence of T20, because I love cricket, and I understand that this ultra-intense, short format of the game means people can watch a whole game in an evening after work; it gives the game more appeal, more coverage, more peak-time advertising opportunity and hence, more money. It’s also a great spectacle. I just think its going to be weird when there are two world champions of cricket. Test cricket is, o

M.S. Dhoni named as India new ODI Captain Dhoni, who is currently leading the Twenty20 team in South Africa, has been appointed as the captain of the ODI team for the upcoming One-Day series’ against Australia and Pakistan.

The event is organised by the sport's governing body, the International Cricket Council (ICC), with preliminary qualification rounds leading up to a finals tournament which is held every four years. The tournament is world's third largest and most viewed sporting event. According to the ICC, it is the most important tournament and the pinnacle of achievement in the sport.The first Cricket World Cup contest was organised in England in 1975. A separate Women's Cricket World Cup has been held every four years since 1973.The finals of the Cricket World Cup are contested by all ten Test-playing and ODI-playing nations, together with other nations that qualify through the World Cup Qualifier.

Australia have stamped their authority on the cricket world by winning their fourth and the third successive World Cup defeating Sri Lanka in a rain-shortened match at the Kensington Oval in Bridgetown (Barbados) by 53 runs.The World Cup final, shortened to 38 overs a side due to an almost three-hour rain-delayed start, failed to live up to its expectations of being a thriller as more rain delays saw Sri Lanka needing to score 269 runs in 36 overs to win their second title thanks to the Duckworth-Lewis system.And Australia’s win was not without its share of drama, as after the 33 overs, it seemed that Sri Lanka had conceded the match after being offered the lights by the umpires. The Australian players started celebrating their fourth World Cup triumph with the scoreboard also flashing the team from Down under as the winner but then the umpires decided to play the remaining three overs in growing darkness as the premier One-Day tournament descended into a farce.Sri Lanka ended their

Just one more day to go and cricket fever will struck Indian Sub continent badly. I repaired my 18 years old color TV again, I have stopped counting how much time it has repaired. Perhaps I will purchase a new TV but after 3 months.Pakistan will play with host on Tuesday and I think Pakistan will thrash West Indies with ease. Its not like Pakistan is a very good team but its West Indies who will give them such a chance, start with a victory always cheer up team and supporters.Well, India will play their first match against Bangladesh on 17th of March, no worries. I think Mahendra Singh Dhoni will be the best player of the tournament, I like this Player too much, the way he hit sixes is awesome.

A quartet of India's golden generation of cricketers will aim for glory in West Indies in what is expected to be their last World Cup.The game's ultimate prize is still missing from the trophy cabinets of stalwarts Sachin Tendulkar, Rahul Dravid, Saurav Ganguly and Anil Kumble.Leg-spinner Kumble (36), India's most successful bowler, skipper Dravid and fellow batsmen Ganguly (both 34) and Tendulkar (33) have displayed their class for more than a decade and the next edition in 2011 could be a bridge too far.Tendulkar, who will play in his fifth World Cup, holds the records for most one-day runs (14,783), hundreds (41) and caps (381). Ganguly and Dravid are also among only six players to aggregate more than 10,000 one-day runs.On pitches expected to help batsmen, India can hope to make amends after champions Australia thrashed the 1983 champions by 125 runs in the 2003 final in South Africa.FORM SLUMPHowever, India face questions over their fielding, the poor form of explosive batsman

Six weeks before the start of cricket World Cup, tournament organisers are rolling out a last-minute advertising blitz in the Caribbean to boost sagging ticket sales. About half the seats for matches in the nine host countries are available, and officials are rallying local fans to take up the slack once over-the-counter ticket sales begin. "It's going to depend on local support," chief ticketing officer Delroy Taylor said. "We're expecting the people of the Caribbean will come through in this last phase." The tiny host nations have spent millions of dollars on new stadiums, roads and other improvements ahead of the tournament - billed as the largest sporting event ever in the Caribbean. But gaps in the stands could sour what many of the countries prize as a rare moment in the spotlight. Although hosts of later rounds are already turning fans away from some matches, including the final in Barbados, other countries, including Trinidad and Tobago and St Kitts, are worried because they

Disclaimer: I am not an astrologer nor i have any supernatural or paranormal powers to prophesy about the future. Disciplines like water divining, astrology, numerology, and fortune telling, along with many other forms of divination are unknown to me.The only reason for this post is that i can brag about in the future about my correct predictions. So here, goes my prediction for each of the world cup teams - what will happen to them & what won't. Believe them at your own risk.Scotland, The Netherlands, Bangladesh, Bermuda, Kenya, Canada, Zimbabwe Ireland - Except for Zimbabwe, I don't see any of the teams playing more than the allotted two Group Matches. Even for Zimbabwe, it is a very small probability(0.05%) that they will qualify by upsetting Pakistan.Prediction - Group StageNow let's move to the big teams....Pakistan - The only team with a little probability to lose out in the group stage itself. On the utmost, it will reach Super Eight stage. My prediction - They will upset
