"Being a World Cup minister should be unbiased. In any case my heart says something and my mind says something. Along these lines, I've got to stick to my heart and help India."

Still, Chris Gayle's absence of runs at the top is a worry. Since the final one of his 21 hundreds, against Sri Lanka in June 2013, he midpoints 14.42 from 19 matches. He has crossed 30 just thrice in that time. Notwithstanding his disappointments, then again, West Indies has crossed 300 in both its matches at this World Cup, with Lendl Simmons, Darren Sammy and Andre Russell instrumental in late twists.

"Any group would love having Chris Gayle going firearms bursting at the top," said Jason Holder, the chief, on the eve of the amusement. "Clearly, yet he hasn't, however despite everything we have full trust in him. It's great to see that regardless he hasn't let go despite everything we're getting 300 runs. I think about when his commitment verges on, 400."

West Indies will need to roll out one improvement, with Jonathan Carter prone to come in for the harmed Darren Bravo, while Zimbabwe could restore Chamu Chibhabha to the highest point of the request after he missed the UAE diversion through harm.

"Actually growing up, I used to watch a considerable measure of their cricket, and they were essentially my most loved group," he said. "I truly do appreciate playing against them."

Having seen the harm West Indies did to Pakistan, he was careful about his group not being exchanged on from the first ball. "I think it will be truly imperative to begin off well, both with our batting and our bowling, in light of the fact that I think their top request is extremely risky," he said. "We mustn't let them make tracks in an opposite direction from us too rapidly. So also, the batting. Pakistan were four down right on time, and you can't generally recoup from a position like that.

feel as the competition advances, its going to deliver some phenomenal cricket, says Tendulkar

World Cup winner and ICC Cricket World Cup 2015 Ambassador Sachin Tendulkar has predicted that the event will be even more competitive as it progresses after the first 10 days produced exciting and entertaining cricket.

Talking to the ICC on the sidelines of India versus South Africa match at the Melbourne Cricket Ground on Sunday, the maestro advised the sides and the players to find and maintain the right balance so that they remain fresh and ready for the big matches and yet maintain any momentum they have established early in the tournament.

“It’s been exciting. You’ve already seen a couple of surprises. The teams have played competitive cricket,” Tendulkar, who is the record-holder for most runs and hundreds in One-Day Internationals (ODIs), said.

“The standard has been good, and that is what people want to witness. I feel as the tournament progresses it’s going to produce some fantastic cricket and we’re looking forward to it.

“I think to have the same successful combination going all the way is going to be the key and to find that balance between staying fresh and not overburdening yourself with additional practice sessions. You just need to find that right balance.

“If somebody’s not playing well, then obviously that guy needs to go out and hit as many balls as possible in the nets or bowl as many balls as possible. But if everything is going well, then it’s important to have that energy and peak at the right time.”

Tendulkar, who was the player of the ICC Cricket World Cup 2003, said ODIs were now producing more runs and centuries due to changes in playing conditions as well as the emergence of the Twenty20 format.

“We’ve been witnessing high‑scoring games because of two reasons. One is because the rule has changed. There is one less fielder outside the circle. So, that makes a huge difference. The game opens up completely and that becomes difficult for bowlers to consistently find those areas to work because there is one less fielder which forces you to bowl different lengths and different lines.

“The second point is also the introduction of T20 format, which has allowed the batters to play more risky shots, play innovative shots, and the guys regularly practice these shots in the nets.

“How many times in the ‘80s or ‘90s did you see someone playing a reverse sweep off a fast bowler, which happens in today's cricket? If batsmen have to chase at eight runs an over, it’s not something beyond their reach, because in T20 you play 20 overs with asking run-rate sometimes of nine or even more than that. So it’s just the mental set‑up and the belief that even if it goes to nine runs and over, we can still hit that target,” said the India icon who retired from cricket in November 2013.

Speaking about his journey as a 14-year-old ball boy to ICC Cricket World Cup Ambassador and the experience of not being involved in an ICC Cricket World Cup as a player for the first time in 23 years, Tendulkar said: “First of all, I’d like to thank ICC for nominating my name as Ambassador of the ICC Cricket World Cup 2011 and 2015. I remember I was a 14‑year‑old boy and I was sitting outside the dressing room as a ball boy in the ICC Cricket World Cup 1987. So, from there to become the Ambassador of the ICC Cricket World Cup is a special journey and I'm excited

“This is a new experience to me where I’m watching an ICC Cricket World Cup match from the stands. The atmosphere is fantastic. Absolutely, it is something that I have experienced but not sitting in the stands. I was always on the other side of the fence. To be sitting in the stands and to feel this atmosphere is incredible.

“Being a World Cup Ambassador I’m supposed to be neutral, but my heart says something and my brain says something. So, I’ve got to stick to my heart and support India.”

India's Batting versus South Africa's Bowling

There is most likely both India and South Africa would be support their qualities at the MCG. While the Men in Blue can bat up a storm without any difficulty, the Proteas swear by the ability of their pacers.

Little uncertainty then that when India's batsmen go head to head against South Africa's quick bowlers, sparkles will fly. India's top-request wasn't exceptionally noteworthy in the late tri-country ODI arrangement Down Under which likewise offered Australia and England. The greater part of that however vanished from memory when the group smacked 300/7 against Pakistan at Adelaide. The top-request - Shikhar Dhawan and Virat Kohli specifically - looked dismal and neglected the weight without breaking a sweat. A match which is relatively less unpleasant, anticipate that the batsmen will play on the front-foot for further superbness. (Virat Kohli Says It's India's Batting versus South Africa's Bowling)

There's only one hitch and he's called Dale Steyn. Broadly viewed as the world's deadliest pacer, Steyn battled off influenza to get prepared for the match against the Indians. He's robust, generous, solid and hungry - ravenous for wickets. Sponsorship him would be any semblance of Vernon Philander and Morne Morkel who have the experience to topple any batting line-up on their day.

South Africa Have Kirsten, Donald, Hussey; India Have God!

Much has been said in regards to Gary Kirsten being with the South Africans. Genuine, he can be the trump card as he was India's mentor when the group won the World Cup in 2011. He knows the Indian changing area well and can devise counter methodologies to support AB de Villiers and his men. Include the ability of Allan Donald and Aussie Mike Hussey and this is one help staff that has more star force than the genuine South Africa group!

Discussing star force, Sachin Tendulkar future cheering for Team India from the MCG stands. End of that civil argument! (Thunder Down Under as Sachin Tendulkar Comes Calling)

India versus South Africa Duels in ODIs

There is undoubtedly the Proteas have the edge against India in no holds barred records. In 70 ODIs between the two, South Africans have won 42 as against 25 guaranteed by the Indians.

In World Cups, the Proteas have a 3-0 edge. In last five ODIs played by each of the two groups, the South Africans by and by edge ahead with four triumphs as against one for India (counting the washed out Sydney ODI on January 26 against Australia).

Records and numbers don't remain for a really long time, or if nothing else that is the thing that obstinate Indian fans would be trusting.

India will need to choose, if they get the alternative, whether it needs to bat first or pursue, says previous India pacer

India ends up in a circumstance where its outcomes in the ICC Cricket World Cup against South Africa are the precise inverse of those against Pakistan.

It has lost every one of the three matches to the South Africans, and needs to change that record soon. To do as such, India needs to reject three key men in the South African batting line-up inexpensively – Hashim Amla, commander AB de Villiers, and Faf du Plessis. By the same token, if South Africa are to end their World Cup curse, then it is these three same men who must shoulder the obligation of taking the group through the draw.
ICC Cricket World Cup 2015 Live Streaming
South Africa are among the hot top choices for the title, and their late record recommends that they ought to have minimal troublesome in making the semi-finals, in any event. After that, obviously, it is all subject to what happens on that specific day. I will be viewing the methods India utilizes against South Africa, all in all, and these three batsmen specifically, with incredible investment.

I was especially satisfied with the way in which Mohammed Shami bowled against Pakistan last Sunday. The bouncer he delivered right on time in his spell to dispose of Younis Khan was an uncommon highlight. Whether Shami thought and reacted quickly and sent that bouncer down, or whether it was a well thoroughly considered arrangement, is something I don't have the foggiest idea. Be that as it may in the event that it was in reality a foreordained arrangement, then Shami will take colossal certainty from the way in which he executed it. He will now be persuaded, going ahead, that that arrangement will work fine if the execution is great.

Not all arrangements, obviously, work constantly, which is the reason it is fundamental to have an exchange arrangement. However vital to each arrangement must be the craving to take wickets, not to contain runs. Yes, on occasion you can contain batsmen, manufacture weight and in this way get wickets, however in the event that the arrangement is just to confine the batsmen, then you will be dispossessed of thoughts. The weight that you manufacture should likewise incorporate approaches to utilize that weight to get wickets.

I additionally anticipate that R Ashwin will lead the route with his varieties. I trust he carries on the great work of the past diversion. For India to accept extents of genuine contenders for the title, this is a triumph that is generally basic. Furthermore if India does run into Australia at some stage, then triumph on Sunday against South Africa will have an enormous mental effect and impart in them more noteworthy conviction toward oneself.

Each of the three of Amla, de Villiers and du Plessis are brilliant finishers, so India will need to choose, if they get the alternative, whether it needs to bat first or pursue. Having comprehended this specific South African batting unit, I feel it is one of the best batting gatherings to flourish under weight, with de Villiers a champion alternativ
The general recognition is that the South African bowling is intensely subject to Dale Steyn, yet I for one vibe that Morne Morkel is the person who will stifle you for runs. The top request will hence need to return to its methodology and put in enough imperviousness to keep going sufficiently long to refute the impacts of the new ball.
ICC Cricket World Cup 2015 Live Streaming
The MCG surface is known for its ricochet and convey, and the Indian main three will must be somewhat more patient. The target they set for themselves must be practical. In the event that you run in with a preset idea, then the shots of losing snappy wickets and afterward winding up with an aggregate that is well beneath a reasonable level, are bona fide. Wickets under control is, subsequently, urgent. The good thing from India's perspective is that the type of Shikhar Dhawan, Virat Kohli and Suresh Raina has kept Ajinkya Rahahe and MS Dhoni still in the holding up zone. That is nothing if not an empowering sign for the Indian research organization.

Scotland v England preview, Match 14, Christchurch - ICC Cricket World Cup 2015 Live Streaming

Scotland v England preview, Match 14, Christchurch - ICC Cricket World Cup 2015 Live Streaming
Britain is under weight after progressive annihilations, while Scotland will have nothing to lose in this conflict

At the point when a group that has nothing huge to pick up, spare two focuses it is relied upon to scalp, comes up against one that has nothing to lose, there is sure to be an inquisitive exchange of weight. There is undoubtedly it will be England under the pump when it confronts Scotland at Hagley Park in Christchurch on Monday (February 23).

Britain has started its ICC Cricket World Cup 2015 battle in frustrating manner. Against Australia, England's bowlers surrendered 342 runs, Steven Finn going at about eight an over, and the batsmen missed the mark, collapsing for 231. Falling off this annihilation, it was outflanked by New Zealand. From 104 for 3, England imploded to 123 full scale, Tim Southee cutting through the batting with 7 for 33. On the off chance that the breakdown was not terrible enough, Brendon McCullum waded into the bowlers, making 77 off 25 balls and a joke of the run pursue. Finn, of whom much was normal in this competition, was taken for 49 from two overs.
In this setting, England tackles Scotland, and viewing the two groups prepare on the eve of the amusement, it was clear which camp was an upbeat one and which was stressed over stumbling up. Scotland did not have the best diversion against New Zealand, its batting vacillating against brilliant, quick, swing rocking the bowling alley, yet when the ball was in their court with the ball, the bowlers indicated heart and battle.

On match eve, England's net session was all business, with the top request obviously unsettled. To change things around, England needs a change of mentality, and accumulating a forceful batsman, for example, Alex Hales, and permitting him the opportunity to tee off in the top-request could be simply the jolt for a group that is battling. To what extent England will remain faithful to Finn stays to be seen, and the conditions at Christchurch on match morning could well have a part to play in that choice.

Conversely, Scotland's lead-up to the diversion was light and vaporous. All expert cricketers, it is not just as they were horsing around, yet there was a lot of gab, a lot of ribbing and the warm-up diversion off footy was overwhelming, with players tossing themselves around and larking about when an objective was scored.

Viewing the two groups, surveying their particular circumstances, it was difficult to escape the feeling that Monday's match will be about England, from numerous points of view. Britain will know it ought to come in as firm top pick, however will be thinking about whether that is really genuine. Britain will realize that there are issues with the batting, and that the rocking the bowling alley has been picked off a bit too effortlessly in conditions that ought to really suit its assault.

Scotland has never won a diversion against a top group in a World Cup installation, and will see the match as an extraordinary chance to line together a decent session of cricket. In the event that it wins the throw, and there is a touch of shadiness about, there is sufficient expertise in the positions to kick it into high gear the ball to move about and inconvenience England's batsmen. With a couple of right on time wickets clinched, Scotland could place England in two personalities, and, a group that does not by any means recognize what works best for itself could stop and fall once again on old unfortunate propensities.

One of the checked contrasts this World Cup has hurled from past occasions is exactly how focused the Associate countries have been. Ireland has beaten the West Indies and UAE ran Zimbabwe close for very nearly the whole 100 overs of their diversion. Scotland is intensely mindful of the sort of profile Ireland has manufactured for itself, and understands that this can just originate from winning recreations of cricket when the world is viewing. Also, if the cricketers permit themselves to accept that England has played itself into a position where it is ready for the picking, who can resentment them that?

Sri Lanka v Afghanistan Preview, Match 12 at Dunedin - ICC Cricket World Cup 2015 Live Streaming

Sri Lanka v Afghanistan Preview, Match 12 at Dunedin - ICC Cricket World Cup 2015 Live Streaming

Angelo Mathews guarantees to field full-quality XI, says his group would need to battle the distance to win

It's regularly overlooked that, around four decades back, Sri Lanka was precisely where Afghanistan is today.

Sri Lanka started its voyage as Associates and waded through harsh waters before winning the 1996 World Cup and creating itself as one of the head One-Day International sides. It's liable to be a while before Afghanistan accomplishes what Sri Lanka has, yet when the two sides meet in Dunedin on Sunday (February 22), Afghanistan will be enthusiastic to take a few notes and possibly throw in a right hook or two to highlight its aim and capacity.

The probability of Afghanistan pulling the mat from under Sri Lanka's feet is subject to which Sri Lankan side turns out at University Oval. Should Afghanistan face the side still sapped from the 98-run misfortune to New Zealand in the World Cup opener a week prior, it stands a decent risk. At the same time if Sri Lanka present to its An amusement to the table to compensate for the misfortune and set itself up for a spot in the knockouts from Pool An, Afghanistan is going to have an extreme errand staring it in the face.

It's reasonable that the greatest variable will be Lasith Malinga. The paceman, coming back from a six-month cutback because of damage, was a long ways from his destroying self against New Zealand, where he yielded 84 runs from ten overs with no wickets against his name.

Malinga must be longing to threaten batsmen by and by and a tie against the Afghans is maybe his most obvious opportunity to get back in his notch ought to the Sri Lankan captain Angelo Mathews keep him in the playing XI. "We accept he'll return emphatically in the following few matches," said Lahiru Thirimanne on Saturday.

While Malinga's structure is a worry, Sri Lanka has a considerable measure on its brain concerning its batting. Pursuing an overwhelming 331, Sri Lanka was in control with Thirimanne taking care of the wheel, however in losing nine wickets for a minor 109 more runs, it demonstrated that it can be powerless against restrained bowling.

As prove in its tie against Bangladesh – its introduction at the ICC Cricket World Cup – Afghanistan can be clinical with the ball. While its batting wavered in that 105-run misfortune, Afghanistan's bowling, driven by Shapoor Zadran, demonstrated a considerable measure of coarseness and control in spite of lacking debilitating  pace.

Australia v Bangladesh Preview, Match 11, Pool A - ICC Cricket World Cup 2015 Live Streaming

Bangladesh may pass up a great opportunity for pace test at the Gabba, yet one point from a washed out match could demonstrate significant in the last investigation
Both Australia and Bangladesh won their opening recreations in the ICC Cricket World Cup 2015 decidedly, by 111 and 105 runs. Lamentably, in light of the storms encompassing Brisbane right now, we're unrealistic to figure out how the conflict between the two will work out on Saturday (February 21).

The past record is supportive of Australia. Throughout the most recent 25 years, retreating to an Australasia Cup diversion at Sharjah in April 1990, Australia and Bangladesh have met on 19 events. As a cricket country, Bangladesh will always remember what happened in Cardiff on June 18, 2005. Anyway as Mashrafe Mortaza said on the eve of the Brisbane amusement, it was quite a while back. Either side of that, Australia has won 18 times, including triumphs past World Cup gatherings, in 1999 and 2007.
Bangaladesh could well end up in a three-manner tussle with Sri Lanka and England for the last two quarterfinal spaces from Pool An, and to that end, a point picked up from a down-poured out match could have a pivotal effect. The flipside is, Bangladesh may miss a chance to perceive how well its late changes on the batting front are working out by going up against an impressive Australian pace assault at the Gabba.

Soumya Sarkar conveyed a gorgeous cameo against Afghanistan, yet the other three in the main four – Tamim Iqbal, Anamul Haque and Mahmudullah – will need some more familiarity. Shakib Al Hasan and Mushfiqur Rahim infused energy into the innings, and on present structure, these two are Bangladesh's best bats

Dropped gets by Darren Sammy and Chris Gayle helped Pakistan mount a recuperation through Sohaib Maqsood (50) and Umar Akmal (59) preceding the rest of the batting was cleared aside.

Pakistan were inevitably rejected for 160 off 39 overs.

Russell guaranteed West Indies would set a testing aggregate by destroying three sixes in an over to complete unbeaten on 42 while Simmons was run out off the last chunk of the innings for 50.

Pakistan did not help their reason with messy fielding and three dropped gets, two of them straightforward opportunities to their previous chief Shahid Afridi on the leg-side.

In any case, Kohli is dead against it being termed as a fizzled trial.

We do a couple of examinations, and in the event that they don't pay off, its viewed as something which will be our defeat. We don't think like that," he said. (Related: Hashim Amla gets set for India test)

"Unless you attempt, you would never know in case you're correct or off-base. You commit errors and you need to gain from them, and that was one circumstance where we needed to attempt things out, and we couldn't have done it whenever separated from the tri-Series, and no doubt, that was the fundamental arrangement behind it," Kohli said, protecting the choice to utilize him as a floater between numbers three and four amid the ODI tri-arrangement.

Inquired as to whether this musical seat influenced his batting? Kohli answered in a split second.

"No, it didn't influence my batting whatsoever. On the off chance that you do well routinely, individuals need you to play well in every diversion. I can't for all intents and purposes score a century in every diversion that I play. The length of I comprehend what I'm doing with my batting and the sort of mentality I'm in, I'm not by any means stressed over all else."

Discussing tomorrow's amusement against South Africa, Kohli was inquired as to whether it will be a genuine test of India's assault and he answered, "Which diversion is definitely not?"

"For us, each amusement is clearly a test. Actually when we play more weaker sides, we generally discuss imagine a scenario where they disturb us. I'm not by any stretch of the imagination pondering all that. It's a session of cricket. I generally keep up that you play a round of cricket with bat under control and ball under control, and enough said.

"Clearly, there's no compelling reason to demonstrate anything to anybody. We need to play well as an unit, and that is what we're looking to do in this World Cup."

The win against Pakistan, as indicated by Kohli has given the group self conviction going into the challenge against South Africa.

"It will provide for us massive conviction toward oneself that we can beat huge sides come the knockout stages, also, will play an enormous figure the diversion tomorrow, I think. South Africa is as we all know one of the top sides on the planet, and they have a decent adjust of batting and knocking down some pins, and their fielding is clearly uncommon models in global cricket. Yes, to get over that obstacle tomorrow will be a spirit supporter for us from multiple points of view."

It was an alternate Virat amid the Pakistan match where he hit just six limits and his 107 off 126 conveyances was totally unique in relation to his ordinary hundreds of years. By his own affirmation, it respected play in an alternate rigging.

"That being said, I've been in great structure, so pretty much it was an instance of me making the vast majority of that and helping the group in doing as such. It doesn't essentially imply that I won't get a hundred, which would have a striker over a hundred. You never know in cricket. I may go out there tomorrow and I may get six limits in the initial 10 balls," he said.

In spite of the fact that he has now four global hundreds at the Adelaide Oval, Kohli feels that each Australian ground is extremely exceptional.

"Each ground in Australia I feel is exceptionally uncommon. Since I was a youngster, I've seen Test and ODI cricket and the World Cup in Australia. So it leaves this inclination when you venture on to it on the grounds that it has a great deal of history to it. It's going to end up being one of my most loved grounds (Adelaide) on the planet.

"It so happened on this visit I had the capacity score three centuries there. It's worked out that way. I've heard Brian Lara say Sydney, he adored Sydney and playing at Sydney, so it feels decent."

For Kohli its critical to stay in front of resistance in wording arranging.

"You can't continue batting in restricted. You need to bat in diverse ways. Individuals will have plans for you. It's about how you come to them and stay a venture ahead. I think last diversion more than anything was an expectation to learn and adapt for me specifically, figuring out how to play in diverse riggings and how to shape my amusement as indicated by what the bowlers are bowling at me.

"At times you will have a determined methodology that may pay off, yet it doesn't happen each time in worldwide cricket, and I think to be predictable you need to switch, which I think I had the capacity do in the last diversion. It surely was something that provided for me more trust in embellishment my amusement as per the circumstance and the bowlers," he said.

Kohli said that he doesn't consider whether he would have a change in methodology relying upon batting position.

"No, not in any manner. As I said, I don't think so a long ways ahead, even in my cricket. I concentrate on every ball that I'm playing. I concentrate on every over that is going on, and in like manner, I arrangement how the amusement needs to go. You can't generally think off wild batting. On the off chance that you need to hit a six in a circumstance that requests it, you can't sit and think, goodness, my Nos 9 and 10 are bad enough, so I'm not going to take that hazard. That is not how cricket ought to be played, that is not how cricket is played. That is negative thinking in any case.

"Clearly, when it comes down to a circumstance where you require commitment from them, you can put all your sponsorship behind them and all your trust in them and sit and watch and really be persuaded that they're going to make that commitment for you, so you can't generally contemplate the lower request batting."

Kohli said that the first week of the World Cup has been truly "energizing" from the players' viewpoint.

"I've emulated a large portion of the diversions. There have been some exceptionally energizing exhibitions from groups that don't frequently offer in worldwide cricket, say Ireland, Afghanistan has played well, Zimbabwe played truly well against South Africa, so its extremely urging to see even Scotland respected watch. It's exceptionally empowering for World cricket, I figure, the first week that how its gone in this World Cup," he evaluated.
