    Best player in India Hockey team is Sardara Singh (Only Indian to be selected in World XI). Sandeep Singh is one of the best as a penulty corner specialist but he has to improve as a defender. S V Sunil is another exciting player to watch out. About India's chance in Olympic, dont expect to win against Australia. It is not possible even by miracle or in dream. Germany, Netherland, Spain are ahead of India but they are not as good as present Australian team. We can beat them though they are going to start as favourite. We beat Britain in CWG. South Korea ranked higher than India but their performance is very poor recently and India easily beat them several times. SO we did against Pakistan. And remember India's game improved significantly since Nobbs came as coach both fitness is also at per with Western teams. So, logically it is not that impossible to reach the semi-final.

    WSH was killed by the ugly HI. It would have been so much better had they allowed the Indian stars to take part
