"Don't hate, it's too big a burden to bear." - Martin Luther King.
The 10th World Cup will feature the first all-Asian final. After Australia won the last three World Cups, beating an Asian nation every time, this Saturday a subcontinental side is guaranteed to win. India won the World Cup once, 28 years ago, in 1983 at Lord's when it beat West Indies. The Indians were beaten by Australia in 2003. They are favourites to be the first home side to win the competition. For Sachin Tendulkar, 37, it is his sixth and probably last chance to lift the trophy for India. He made his first World Cup appearance on Feb. 22 1992 in Perth aged 18. He is the leading runscorer in World Cup matches, with 2,260 runs at 57.94 from 44 games, including six hundreds. He made his first-class debut at Wankhede Stadium in December 1988 for Bombay against Gujarat in the Ranji Trophy and scored an unbeaten hundred. He is one short of his 100th hundred in international cricket. more at AP
