    Cricket's Grand Slam

    Would that be #1 ranking in tests, ODI WC win and T20 WC win? So far only India has achieved the career grand slam. If it manages to win this year's T20 WC and next year's ODI WC then I guess that would also be a calender year Grand Slam! Australia needs to win T20 WC to achieve the career...

    India needs to introspect

    The holders are one loss away from getting knocked out of this tournament .... to defend the title, they will have to win 4 games in a row so every game is like a KO game for them, much like getting in to round of 16, then QF, then semis and eventually in to the final .... Needless to say that...
