Afridi....
So far, luck has been with India. Hopefully, it would all change this time around
Me : Not quite. 2003 wasnt luck. 1999 wasnt luck. 1996 wasnt luck. 1992 wasnt luck.
Afridi :
If they claim themselves to be the best, I would say we are also best. Every team knows its strength. We have a very balanced side. Still, I don't take any side lightly
Nope, India doesnt boast to be the best. They have shortcomings. Bowling is the main worry. They dont have fit Gambhir which makes Dancing baby a default entrant to the team. No Zaheer too.
Few days back Younis Khan had said "ab humara haq hai jeetne ka".
Alright, play it on the field. Better team on the field wins. Past records, political tensions and emotional stuff doesnt matter.
How well you play for 100 overs would matter on 26. And its not a Friday. Last time when India beat Pakistan in a world cup was a Friday. And in 1980s every Sharjah encounter between the two teams was a Friday affair for unknown reasons.

2 Perspectives:
wrt to the 80's.. in Sharjah Friday was the weekly holiday so to get maximum crowds in they were scheduled on a Friday !
and i think Pakistan's weekly holiday is also a friday!!
correct me if i am wrong :)
