'Dhoni's Devils' are Imran Khan's pick
MUMBAI: There were six World Cup-winning captains at an event organized by a cellular company to launch the 'Keep Cricket Clean' campaign at a city hotel on Wednesday.
Clive Lloyd, Kapil Dev, Allan Border, Arjuna Ranatunga, Steve Waugh...they were all there. But the man who attracted the maximum attention was Imran Khan.
That's because there's more to Imran than just the fact that he led and inspired Pakistan to their solitary World Cup triumph in 1992. The legendary all-rounder-turned-politician is considered the voice of cricket in Pakistan, if not the sub-continent. His fan base is still alive and kicking in India, which explains why this 58-year-old was the most sought-after personality here.
So who does he tip to win the Cup? "This could the most even, unpredictable World Cup ever. There are six teams who can beat anyone on a given day. Having said that, I think India stand the best chance. You have all-round strength in batting and bowling. The batting line-up, in fact, is great. The team is in good form, and it will play in home conditions," Imran told TOI in an exclusive chat.
But aren't there too many spinners in the team? And isn't the pace attack a bit thin? "No, I don't think there are too many tweakers in this squad. In Test cricket, you can't get away with this, but in One-day cricket you can do with bowling all-rounders. Ideally, you need one express pace bowler but India can do without it also. Zaheer Khan, I feel, is at the peak of his game right now. He has experience and ability," Imran reasoned.
He then offered an insight on how Sachin Tendulkar might be feeling on the cusp of what could be his last World Cup. "Let's put it this way -- having given so much to world cricket over the years, it will be great for Sachin to leave the game with the high of a World Cup triumph. India are the favourites, and Sachin is in good form, so there just couldn't be a better situation for him. I wasn't supposed to play in the 1992 World Cup, but ended up playing it because I thought that if we win, we would get some money for the cancer hospital I wanted to build in my mother's memory. But I remember how privileged I felt that my last game was the World Cup final."
Maybe the schedule, which has every team playing after six-day breaks, can upset India's rhythm. "I think those breaks will be welcomed by the cricketers, because in our times, we didn't have much time to recover between games, and that was tough on the fast bowlers. So this is a positive thing," he opined.
What about Pakistan? "I would say they are the wildcards." Clearly, somewhere in his heart, Imran roots for Pakistan. India would be happy, though, that his mind favours Dhoni & Co.

World Cup is not about Sachin alone: Kapil Dev
MUMBAI: There's this thing about Kapil Dev. Just when you start thinking he's clueless about the conversation going around him, he comes up with a comment so forthright that he leaves you thinking about what he just said.
On Wednesday afternoon, when six former World Cup-winning captains gathered at a promotional event in south Mumbai to speak about the upcoming quadrennial event, a similar thing happened.
"Why Sachin?" he thundered, when asked how important this World Cup was for Sachin Tendulkar. "It's an insult to everybody else if you keep asking about Sachin all the time. Winning the World Cup is as important to the rest of the team as it is to Sachin, to you and me and the billions who want India to do well. It's not about Sachin alone."
Until then, it had seemed like Kapil was busy soaking in what his contemporaries - Clive Lloyd, Allan Border, Imran Khan, Arjuna Ranatunga and Steve Waugh - had just said. At that moment though, he did many things by not allowing the thought of this being 'Tendulkar's World Cup' to seep into the mind. He not only addressed the fact that too much pressure was being put on Tendulkar's dream of winning the trophy, but also reminded how passionate India is about this game.
The six former skippers kept aside enough time to take questions from the eras gone by to the 10th edition of the World Cup which begins later this month. Imran and Ranatunga spoke of controversies and corruptions, Waugh and Border spoke of Australia's fighting spirit and Lloyd reminisced the glory days of West Indies.
Of course, they all made it an afternoon to remember.
Imran remembered how much the 1992 World Cup victory mattered when it came to materialising his dream of building a cancer hospital and spoke of the current woes of Pakistan cricket.
Ranatunga saw humour in assessing how the 1996 World Cup victory had changed Sri Lankan cricket. "Among many things, the World Cup success brought more politics and corruption into Sri Lankan cricket," was how he summarised the impact of the victory.
Steve Waugh was asked what he thought of sledging in cricket and once again displaying the no-nonsense attitude that he's so famous for, he just said: "I don't want to comment."
Border remembered the 1987 World Cup victory that was the beginning of a turnaround in Australian cricket. When asked what it takes for teams from outside the sub-continent to win here, he said: "Discipline. That's what Bob Simpson (Australia's World Cup-winning coach) taught the team and that's what gave us the edge."
Lloyd put his hope on West Indies opener Chris Gayle, labelling him a player with the ability to change the course of a match single-handedly. "If West Indies make it to the quarterfinal and Gayle is in form, the team's chances will be very good. He's a player who can alone make a difference in a game," the two-time World Cup-winning skipper said.

Australia win after record ODI run chase
SYDNEY: Australia conjured up their biggest ever successful run chase to beat England by two wickets in a thrilling sixth one-day international at the Sydney Cricket Ground on Wednesday.
After a Jonathan Trott century helped England post their highest ever ODI score against Australia of 333-6, the home side batted their way into contention, needing six to win off the final over with two wickets in hand.
Tailender John Hastings edged a boundary off the second delivery from youngster Chris Woakes to hand Australia victory with four balls to spare, the home side making 334-8.
It was Australia's record run chase in an ODI and extended their lead over the tourists in the seven-match series to 5-1 with one game to play.
Captain Michael Clarke's late season return to form continued as he smashed 82 from 70 balls to lead the unlikely chase, with late support from David Hussey, who made 38.
The match seemed to be England's to lose with Australia needing 70 off 48 balls, but the pair took 16 off James Anderson's eighth over -- the 44th of the innings.
They followed it up by notching 14 off Anderson's ninth as the England bowler went on to finish with a disastrous 91 runs from his 10 overs.
Shane Watson, with 51 off 34 balls, got the home side off to a flying start in reply to what had the look of a match-winning total by England, before falling to the spin of Michael Yardy.
Mitchell Johnson was promoted to number four and made 57 before being stumped from the bowling of Kevin Pietersen, while the recalled Callum Ferguson was run out for 46.
An Australian win seemed unlikely after Trott's second century of the series helped England post what was also their highest ODI score in Australia.
Trott continued his superb series by making 137, taking his haul for the series to 361 runs at 72.20, the English number three the leading scorer for either side despite his team's indifferent form.
Before falling to the second-last ball of the innings Trott was offered good support by captain Andrew Strauss, who made 63 from just 69 balls, and Ian Bell, with 45 from 32 deliveries.
Trott, was earlier given out lbw on 82 to Shaun Tait but handed a reprieve after a review of the decision, reached triple figures for the fourth time in ODIs from exactly 100 balls, having hit seven boundaries.
In an outstanding game for the England man he took a brilliant catch to remove Brad Haddin (20), and bowled during the Australian innings.

Origin of Cricket
Throughout the 18th century cricket thrived due to the large amounts of investment made via monetary backing and gambling. The first example of a match to be played between two counties in England can be dated to the 29th June 1709. The match took place between Surrey and Kent.
Cricket World Cup 2003
Cricket World Cup 2003
The eighth world championship, Cricket World Cup 2003, was held in the African continent for the first time. Jointly hosted by South Africa, Kenya and Zimbabwe, the event was played from February 9 to March 24. Format of this tournament was the same as the 1999 Cricket World Cup. Contested by 14 teams divided into two groups of seven each, the event saw Namibia making their World Cup debut.
India, Australia, Sri Lanka and Kenya were the semifinalists of 2003 Cricket World Cup. The final match was contested between India and Australia. Defending champions Aussies ravaged India in a one-sided affair that ended in India losing by 125 runs, the biggest run margin in a World Cup final thus far.
Cricket World Cup 2003 will be remembered for various controversies. England and New Zealand refused to play their respective matches in Zimbabwe and Kenya, citing security fears. The matches were eventually awarded to host teams. The political situation in Zimbabwe and atrocities of the Robert Mugabe regime came out in the open during this event, with star cricketers condemning the administration.
Legendary Australian spinner Shane Warne tested positive in a drug test, a day before Australia’s first match in the Cricket World Cup 2003. Few players of the Indian team also had to battle sponsorship issues back home before making it to the final World Cup squad.
However, the biggest positive that came out of the Cricket World Cup 2003 was the innovative style of event coverage, that led to increased viewer participation.

The eighth world championship, Cricket World Cup 2003, was held in the African continent for the first time. Jointly hosted by South Africa, Kenya and Zimbabwe, the event was played from February 9 to March 24. Format of this tournament was the same as the 1999 Cricket World Cup. Contested by 14 teams divided into two groups of seven each, the event saw Namibia making their World Cup debut.
India, Australia, Sri Lanka and Kenya were the semifinalists of 2003 Cricket World Cup. The final match was contested between India and Australia. Defending champions Aussies ravaged India in a one-sided affair that ended in India losing by 125 runs, the biggest run margin in a World Cup final thus far.
Cricket World Cup 2003 will be remembered for various controversies. England and New Zealand refused to play their respective matches in Zimbabwe and Kenya, citing security fears. The matches were eventually awarded to host teams. The political situation in Zimbabwe and atrocities of the Robert Mugabe regime came out in the open during this event, with star cricketers condemning the administration.
Legendary Australian spinner Shane Warne tested positive in a drug test, a day before Australia’s first match in the Cricket World Cup 2003. Few players of the Indian team also had to battle sponsorship issues back home before making it to the final World Cup squad.
However, the biggest positive that came out of the Cricket World Cup 2003 was the innovative style of event coverage, that led to increased viewer participation.

Cricket World Cup 1996
Cricket World Cup 1996
The sixth edition of the Cricket World Cup was held in 1996 in the Indian subcontinent and contested by 12 teams. The Netherlands, Kenya and the United Arab Emirates made their World Cup debuts in this edition of the quadrennial event.
The Cricket World Cup 1996 was marred by several controversies throughout the event. In Sri Lanka, a bombing by LTTE just before the event, resulted in the death of 90 people. As a consequence, Australia and West Indies refused to send their national teams to play in Sri Lanka for the Cricket World Cup 1996, despite repeated assurances from cricketing authorities. Therefore, the ICC awarded both the matches to Sri Lanka on grounds of forfeit.
Another controversy happened during the semifinal between India and Sri Lanka. The misbehavior of spectators at Eden Gardens, Kolkata led to match referee Clive Lloyd awarding the match to Sri Lanka. In the final match, tensions between Australia and Sri Lanka heightened after umpire Darrell Hair called spinner Muttiah Muralitharan for suspect bowling action.
Nonetheless, by virtue of sheer good luck and under the credible captainship of Arjuna Ranatunga, the Lankans went on to win the 1996 Cricket World Cup, defeating Australia by seven wickets in the final match at Lahore. India and West Indies were the other two semifinalists of this World Cup.

Cricket World Cup 1992
Cricket World Cup 1992
Known as the Benson and Hedges World Cup, the Cricket World Cup in 1992 was jointly hosted by Australia and New Zealand. The fifth edition of this quadrennial tournament, it was held between February 22 and March 25, 1992
The 1992 Cricket World Cup witnessed several changes in the tournament format as well as cricketing ideologies. Cricket teams started thinking and playing differently, thus leading to an increase in competitiveness. It was the first World Cup to introduce the concept of day and night matches.
The 1992 edition was the first in the history of Cricket World Cup to use white cricket balls and colored team uniforms. Until then, red balls and white colored uniforms had been used for the tournament. This event also saw the introduction of a new system to calculate over reductions for rain-affected matches.
The Cricket World Cup 1992 was also the first time when an African Test team (South Africa) participated in this tournament. Nine countries contested in the event and they were not divided into groups. The Cricket World Cup 1992 had 36 matches in the round robin stage. Top four teams qualified for the semis, wherein the best two teams went on to play the final.
The 1992 Cricket World Cup was won by Pakistan, under the leadership of the legendary Imran Khan. They defeated England by 22 runs in a spell-binding final at Melbourne Cricket Ground. New Zealand and South Africa were the other semifinalists.

Known as the Benson and Hedges World Cup, the Cricket World Cup in 1992 was jointly hosted by Australia and New Zealand. The fifth edition of this quadrennial tournament, it was held between February 22 and March 25, 1992
The 1992 Cricket World Cup witnessed several changes in the tournament format as well as cricketing ideologies. Cricket teams started thinking and playing differently, thus leading to an increase in competitiveness. It was the first World Cup to introduce the concept of day and night matches.
The 1992 edition was the first in the history of Cricket World Cup to use white cricket balls and colored team uniforms. Until then, red balls and white colored uniforms had been used for the tournament. This event also saw the introduction of a new system to calculate over reductions for rain-affected matches.
The Cricket World Cup 1992 was also the first time when an African Test team (South Africa) participated in this tournament. Nine countries contested in the event and they were not divided into groups. The Cricket World Cup 1992 had 36 matches in the round robin stage. Top four teams qualified for the semis, wherein the best two teams went on to play the final.
The 1992 Cricket World Cup was won by Pakistan, under the leadership of the legendary Imran Khan. They defeated England by 22 runs in a spell-binding final at Melbourne Cricket Ground. New Zealand and South Africa were the other semifinalists.

2015 Cricket World Cup
The 2015 ICC Cricket World Cup will be the eleventh Cricket World Cup, and will be jointly hosted by Australia and New Zealand. The location of the games will be evenly split, with the location of the final yet to be decided.
The hosting rights were awarded at the same time as those of the 2011 Cricket World Cup, which New Zealand and Australia had originally bid to host, and the 2019 Cricket World Cup. The 2011 tournament was awarded to the four Asian Test cricket playing countries India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka and Bangladesh in a 10 to 3 vote (although Pakistan has since lost its hosting rights). The International Cricket Council were sufficiently impressed with the trans-Tasman bid that it was decided to award the next world cup to them.
The 2015 Cricket World Cup will be the 2nd time this tournament has been jointly hosted by Australia and New Zealand, the first being the 1992 Cricket World Cup which was won by Pakistan, who defeated England in the final at the Melbourne Cricket Ground. Incidentally this is the first time since 1992 that a major international cricket tournament like World Cup, Champions Trophy or T20 World Cup is being held in Australia or New Zealand.
