Noodle strap, Mandira Bedi will once again co-anchor Extra Innings on SET for the upcoming ICC cricket world cup in West Indies with Charu Sharma. Mandira surely knows her cricket bit quite seriously and says " It really hurts when people think that just because I dress glam, I am a dumb bimbette, who has no knowledge of the gentleman's game." To prove the point, the cute host talks in detail about the strength and weakness of all the major teams. She says, "Till a few days back we were all under the impression that Australia would easily lift the crown for the third time in a row. But the events of past 10 days have changed that perception. No body could have imagined that the champions would be humiliated not once but five times in a row by teams like England and New Zealand. When asked about the upcoming world cup series, she says, " I think West Indies will surely enjoy home ground advantage, Sri Lanka is in a good form notwithstanding their recent defeat to India. Pakistan led by Inzy can always be trusted to throw up a surprise or two, while South Africa are now world number one, displacing Australia for the first time for years." Mandy believes that the Indian team has enough potential to reach the finals, if not win it. She further adds, "Our current squad has the right mix of youth and experience. Sreesanth's and Zaheer's class bowling on the bouncy pitches will be a huge plus. But, we will still continue to rely on our batting to win games. Sachin, Saurav and Dhoni will have to click big time". Mandira is also the brand ambassador of the women cricket team in India. She hopes that our team should get more practice matches before the world cup to be really prepared for the big event. The cute host, who will adorn multi coloured hep cricket themed sarees from Satya Paul wishes the" men in blue" the best of luck. And hopes that Dravid and the boys will surely repeat the epic feat, Kapil pajee had pulled of way back in 1983.
