Data-mining by some friends revealed the following:
3 Reasons why India will get the World Cup ....
Reason 1:
Captain of winning teams
1979 - Captain - Clive Lloyd -Left Hander
1983 - Captain -Kapil Dev -Right Hander
1987 - Captain - Border -Left Hander
1992 - Captain -Imran Khan -Right Hander
1996 - Captain - Ranatunga -Left Hander
1999 - Captain - Steve Waugh -Right Hander
2003 -- Is he going to be a left hander again ?? ?
Is it Jayasurya or Fleming or Ganguly...? ??
Yet another reason to say CUP IS OURs
Reason 2:
Now... statistics shows that after the league matches of this
world cup, Australians have won 12 cosecutive matches.
+ 3 in super six and +1 in semis makes it 16. and they meet India
in Finals.
Remember ....... Its the same Ganguli and Boys who broke the
sequence of 16 consecutive test victories by aussies.....
So we will make it again World cup is ours.........
Reason 3:
i) West Indies were the champions in 1975 and 1979.
The difference between the years is 4.
(ii) Aussies were the champions in 1987 and 1999.
The difference between the years is 12.
By Arithmetic Progression the next number is of course 20.
(4, 12, 20).
lets put up a brave fight against the aussies in da finals!
cheers
