deepster, yes, we did win that world cup, but that was T20. Its a smaller form of the ICC world cup which just happened. Obviously, this one is bigger with higher stakes involved.
Shilpa, the next country vs country is the T20 World Cup this year, which commences right after the IPL is done with =). Its held every year.
And guyz, i was just reading these articles on Dhoni, and its so touching, apparently he was a ticket collector at a railway station near kolkata, from where, he rose. You know, incidentally, every player in the Indian cricket team have come from very small towns, and have had to face a lot of hardship to make it here. They were showing the history of each cricketer on the news today, and each of their history just touches your heart. They'r all from simple families and backgrounds, and have played cricket for the love of the game, and to earn the daily bread for their families. And today, they'v reached so far.
