Legendary West Indian captain Clive Lloyd on Friday said the current Indian ODI squad is well equipped to win the 2011 ICC Cricket World Cup.
"India is very good side. Their batting is strong. Also they are currently No 1 Test side in the world," Lloyd, who led West Indies to the Cup glory in its 1975 and '79 editions, told Headlines Today, as former greats such as Kapil Dev, Arjun Ranatunga, Sourav Ganguly and Md Azaharuddin sat to review the Cup preparations of different teams, along with cricket analyst Charu Sharma and former cricketer Nikhil Chopra.
Former England captain captain Nasser Hussain, while favoring India and Sri Lanka, also echoed the views of Lloyd, who cautioned against complacency on the fielding front, saying a good fielding side that stops the run flow wins games in an ODI.
"Obviously India are a very good side. They have superstar names," Hussain said, adding, no one should write off the Aussies, despite the Ashes loss.
While former Pakistan captain Aamer Sohail believed his national team was better prepared compared to 1992, when Imran Khan made his country the world champions, Kapil Dev said it's an open WC. "Everyone is on an equal footing," said Sourav Ganguly.
