Spells of sunshine on Saturday brought some cheer to not only the Indian fans but also the Men in Blue ahead of their World Cup match against Australia at The Oval today. Being able to feel the turf under their feet after a rainy Friday surely lifted the spirit of the team members who made it to the ground for an optional practice session. Now, all they will be hoping for is that the focus of everyone will be on the game rather than on a small insignia on MS Dhoni's wicketkeeping gloves.

There is no doubt that the team will shut out all the controversies and distractions and concentrate on job on hand. Because their next three games are very tough and they need to build on the momentum they got with their hard-fought win over South Africa at Southampton earlier this week.
