The world cup is gaining momentum now. It's already halfway of the Group stage. We have witnessed many high scoring games and quite a few low scoring ones. India's bowling performance has been pathetic so far, except for the India vs Ireland match.
England have been fairly inconsistent so far. They lost against the minnows Ireland. However, they played brilliantly to choke South Africa.
Australia have not been tested against any good teams so far. We were deprived of the good match in between Aussies and Srilanka due to the rains.
Pakistan who have been good in defending the totals, failed miserably while chasing against New Zealand today.
Kiwis did pretty well to boost their confidence for the rest of the tournament.
Srilankans have had mixed results. I think that their batting depends a lot on Sangakara and Jayawardhne.
West Indies surprised everyone by crushing Bangladesh comfortably. They can be dangerous on their day with the likes of Bravo and Pollard.
Ireland needs special mention. They have stood tall amongst the minnows.
It's going to be very exiting tournament. I hope that India wins the world cup. However, the kind of tracks we have, there are going to be very close matches.
