Don't know why, I anticipate it is going to be little tough for India in Super 8.They are grouped with good teams like SA, WI and England. India have to play extremely well to defeat these teams and be in 8. Don't know what will happen. But we can't say what will happen in this format of game. What do you think about it.

Yeah, its definitely a tough competition.
As we have seen the performance of West Indies and Sri Lanka have been mind boggling they pose problem to India.
Though, we should have an easy win over England and New Zealand doesn't bother too much as we don't have a match with them.
So, the league is between WI, SL and India...
hope we defend our trophy..

Yes it is defintiely going to be tough for India to enter into the semi finals after their defeat vs westIndies. According to me, we must have won yesterday's Super 8 match against the westIndies and we lost soleley because of the selfish game being played by Dhoni. His 11 out of 23 balls wasting nearly 2 overs had costed us the match. Else, we would have been the winners. But unfortunately we have lost the match and it is going to be a big problem for us to make it into the semis. The defending champions India must come out with a champion stuff if they need to win the 20-20 championship. If else, it is going to be a big problem for them as their current form indicates that they are ineligible even to make it into the Semi finals. On the other hand, WESTINDIES and SrilLanka are at roaring form and they sabotage every opponents who play against them. Hence it is high time we take some corrective measures to tackle the pressure against the emerging strong opponents.

Now it has got really tough for India after losing to west indies. Indian team has got to win its two remaining matches to ensure a semifinal birth. Engalnd and south africa are the two teams that we need to beat to get into semi finals, england game might be easy but south africa won't be easy to beat. So if at all Indian team has to come up in semi finals they will have to play to their potential or else it will be heartbreak.

Your apprehension is quite reasonable. India has to play its original game and it is tough competition as all good teams are with Indian side. I think the present scenario of team is not quite conducive due to various controversy. The behavior of captain is not good with team mates and selectors. God knows what will be the fate of the team. But still I hope that TEam India will emerge as leader in T-20 in spite of all such problems.

Hi subha,
Your apprehension has a ground. First of all Dhoni is not in his self with controversy over having bad blood with Shehwag.
Rohit Sharma as an opener has done quite well so far but you do not have the cake every time and with the teams like SA and WI he might not get a go and these two teams are in the most devastating form. England is not a threat. But India have to win two matches to enter into the semis.
I am too quite apprehensive.
