Want to erase humiliation of 2007 World Cup: Dhoni

Friday , Jun 26, 2009

Kingston:

The 2007 World Cup humiliation in Caribbean still fresh in his mind, Indian cricket captain

Mahendra Singh Dhoni wants to get rid of the troubled memories by winning the four-match

one-day series against the West Indies.

"Of course, it is not an easy thing to forget, especially that 2007 World Cup. It is always tough to

forget that kind of tournament. It will be important for us to do well here," Dhoni said ahead of

the first match in Kingston on Friday.

India had crashed out of the World Cup in the first week itself after embarrassing defeats at the

hands of Bangladesh and Sri Lanka.

A year before the World Cup debacle, the team was thrashed 4-1 by the hosts in an ODI series.

The Indian team comes into the series after a disappointing Twenty20 World Cup campaign

where the defending champions failed to even make the semi-finals.
