Indians go full steam on nets
With the unpreditable English weather relenting, the Indian team for the cricket World Cup is going full steam ahead at the nets, even as South Africa, their opening match rival, have reported three players including speedster Alan Donald on the injured list. South Africa8217;s bowling mainstay Donald is reported to be suffering from stomach cramps, ace fielder Jonty Rhodes has a wrist injury and all-rounder Lance Klusner is down with a foot injury barely 10 days before their first match against India at Hove on May 15.

Captain8217;s role
Captaincy in cricket is vastly different from other ball games. Despite the latest trend of having cricket managers/coaches/psychologists to boost the team morale, the most important person for any cricket team in the final analysis is none other than the captain himself.
