Pak gets past BD and NZ. Ind vs Wi WI win Sl vs pak ? Link to comment
Vilander Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 WI are like SA. They will choke at some point. they are very strong this time, but unlike the champions league that they won, they are expected to do well this time. Its one thing doing well when no one expects you to, its an other when everyone expects you to win. Thats the beauty of AUS's last two WC and India's current WC win. Delivering when everyone expects you to win the CUP. Link to comment
Ultimate_Game Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 ^^^^ They are strong but not consistent. They will implode. Also in the post above, I don't see us getting the better of Eng in our group. By the way aren't there any super8/super 6 round? We play the league matches and straight away play semis? That sounds strange as the torney will be too short with most of the teams playing just 2 matches and even the winner only playing 4 matches - 2 in the league, semi & final. If 4 matches is all it takes to win the tourney it's more of a luck as you need a hot streak and you are there. Link to comment

Vilander Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 There is an elaborate super 8's. hmm now its tricky. hmm Eng,SL,WI,SA semifinalists. Link to comment
Utalk Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 What can I say' date=' that's the truth :dontknow: We suck at T20s as our strength in odis are no longer a strength in T20, and teams like SL, Pak & WI are much more suited to T20s.[/quote'] We have become one of the worst T20 sides ever since YK retired in 09 and Afridi took over. We had win ratio of 70% till 2009 but since then it's down to 40%. Our strength has been likes of Gul Ajmal and Afridi but out of these only Ajmal remains the same force. On batting front I fear we will be very inconsistent with the 15 they have picked. Likes of Nazir Kami Razzaq and Afridi can score 200 or 50 all out on any day. Link to comment

On batting front I fear we will be very inconsistent with the 15 they have picked. Likes of Nazir Kami Razzaq and Afridi can score 200 or 50 all out on any day. But the point is you don't need to be consistent in batting. A couple of quick 30s & 40s or an occasional 50 is more than an enough in T20s. On SL pitches with likes of Hafeez, Afridi & Ajmal backed by Gul the bowling attack is more than enough. All-rounders like Hafeez/Afridi/Razzaq etc. really come in handy in T20s and that's where Pak has advantage. In odis their qulity may be found out but they are perfect for T20s. Link to comment
Ultimate_Game Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 There is an elaborate super 8's. hmm now its tricky. hmm Eng,SL,WI,SA semifinalists. After super 8s, my semi-final prediction is - SL, Pak, SA & WI/Eng/Aus. SL, Pak & SA make it to semis and the 4th team would be one of WI, Aus or Eng. I fear India doesn't have the quality to win too many matches in super 8s unless they somehow magically unearth a matchwinning bowler or two. Link to comment
Bdeshpatriot Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 Bangladesh I believe has a serious chance for going past the second round too, but plenty of things have to fall into place....well, optimism there for you. Link to comment
Bdeshpatriot Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 It might just be Sri Lanka to win it if u analyze Link to comment
Ultimate_Game Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 Bangladesh I believe has a serious chance for going past the second round too' date= but plenty of things have to fall into place....well, optimism there for you. Only in your dreams. They should focus on getting into super 8s coz I think even that may be beyond them. Link to comment
deathmonger Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 I feel West Indies have the side to do this time. They have Gayle opening' date=' that guy just goes on, we all know that. Then, there's T20 specialist Pollard. Dwayne Bravo is a good AR. Spin sensation Narine will be troubling many batsmen surely. They just need to be consistent.[/quote'] Russell, Sammy Link to comment
jind Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 Hoping for an Indian win .....anything else would be uncivilized :yay: Link to comment
carnish Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 India will surely make it to the semis and lose it there.. Mark my words. Link to comment
Tiger-Don Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 Only in your dreams. They should focus on getting into super 8s coz I think even that may be beyond them. oh really??? and what if we make it to the semis? Link to comment
Ultimate_Game Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 oh really??? and what if we make it to the semis? I would be surprised to see you in the super 8s let alone semis :giggle: Maybe you guys should start beating Zim & Ireland consistently before dreaming about semis :haha: Link to comment
Vilander Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 oh really??? and what if we make it to the semis? chill its t20 any test nation can win. Link to comment
