Rahul Dravid, the Indian captain, is wary that two easy wins in his side’s pre-World Cup campaign may backfire on them when they face tougher competition.

India brushed aside the Netherlands by 182 runs and West Indies by nine wickets, and while happy with the confidence India gained, Rahul Dravid felt there were disadvantages as well.

“With a performance like this, it meant that some of our batsmen did not get a chance to bat, and our spin bowlers did not get a chance to bowl,” he told reporters in Montego Bay.

“I think the advantages some times outweigh the disadvantages when you beat a top team like West Indies so convincingly. I think what it does to the spirit of the team can be very important as well,” he explained.

“No one should discount the plus points you gain from momentum, the plus points you gain from the confidence that it gives in winning over a team like West Indies who had the upper hand over us a lot over the last year,” he added.
