West Indies batting great Gordon Greenidge expects some Sehwag fireworks at the World Cup
For someone who has experienced ultimate glory in two of the three World Cups he played in, Gordon Greenidge is in good position to talk about realistic chances of teams participating in the 2011 World Cup.
India ' favourites, Australia ' never rule them out, South Africa ' playing good cricket, West Indies ' will hopefully show intent. That's how Greenidge takes stock. He was in Mumbai to receive his World Cup 1979 honour at the Ceat awards on Friday. MiD DAY spent close to an hour with the 59-year-old West Indian batting great in his Taj Colaba hotel room on Saturday to pick his brains.
What do you make of India being favourites for this World Cup? 
Of course India should be favourites. Once all players are fit, they should have a good chance. Bowling is an important aspect too, but they have very capable batsmen that can get the job done.
Consistency is another important point. If you are going to lose a match or two, you have to experience it earlier in the tournament. Sometimes, a loss is not all that detrimental to the end result. It makes you refocus on the job at hand. If you have continuous success, you may just start to wonder, 'when's the loss going to come?'
