Champions in same group

Yes ,the cricket world cup fever has started spreading, teams are making up themselves to meet the challenge ,with 12teams being divided into two groups, its interesting to note that defending one-day champions(AUS) and T20 champions(PAK) has been grouped in the same A group, it will nice to see their contest at group level matches itself. With the great talents the two teams possess it will be a nice competition to watch out. The other teams in group A are New Zealand, Sri Lanka, Zimbabwe, Canada, and Kenya. Kiwis will be eager to win the world cup since they haven’t won any in past but the competition and their current form are the biggest worries for them, Lankans will be trying to repeat their 1996 heroics, having Muralitharan on their side will be of greater advantage, he will be thinking of ending up his career in a high note since this is his last international event. The one another team in this group is Zimbabwe, they haven’t made any big impact as far as world cup is concerned but can’t under estimate their talents, and they might come up with some unexpected performance. Canada with not much of international cricketing experience is the favorites of course but never forgets John Davison for his excellent century in 2003 world cup. Kenya with Jaunty Rhodes assistance will be hoping to put a great show in this world cup ,they are known for some greatest performance in world cup 2003,they reached semi-final in 2003 world cup, they will never forget that performance ,with that confidence they will hope to do best. The action is going to kick-off in great fashion.
