In World Cup semifinals no World Cup is complete without an India-Pakistan clash and India's win over the West Indies may have just paved the way for this mother of contests in the semifinal. For that to happen, of course, India must first beat Australia in their quarterfinal match in Ahmedabad on March 24 while Pakistan will have to defeat the West Indies in Mirpur on March 23. In the other quarterfinals, Sri Lanka will take on England in Colombo while Mirpur will host the South Africa-New Zealand clash.
'Agar harenge to pata hain humein kya hone walah hain!' (If we lose we know what's in store). Yuvraj Singh was laughing when he said that. But he gave the impression along the course of a media conference after the match on Sunday that he was fighting a battle for the team against the Indian media.
"Don't you think you are not practising enough?" somebody asked him the question and that added fuel to the fire. "We know our bodies, we know how to go about it...It's the media that is saying we are not practising. It's your problem, not ours," it seemed that Yuvraj was carrying the mood of his batting to the press conference room.
The left-hander looked relieved that he has delivered the goods just when it mattered. This was his first international century after a gap of two years and he wants to take the good form into the quarterfinal against Australia. "Obviously, I am feeling good about it...Wickets, runs...I think it's all going well," Yuvi's answers were short, crisp and incisive.
