Lord Posted October 27, 2013 Share Posted October 27, 2013 We need to take T20s seriously and make a team for this I'd suggest replace Dhoni with Samson and have Kohli as captain. for bowling we need to look at guys like Shukla,Mohit etc.Also have guys like Dhawan,Irfan as allrounders Link to comment
G_B_ Posted October 27, 2013 Share Posted October 27, 2013 ^ agree bowling especially we need specialist bowlers. Link to comment
Cricketics Posted October 27, 2013 Share Posted October 27, 2013 Took take associate nations for granted. They will do good to pip zim and even may be ireland in twent20 qualifying tournament before super 10. It's perfect format to have more teams in world ucp and ICC is doing pretty good with this idea of introducing more teams in twenty20 world cup. Only thing I don't like is the pre tournament for them to qualify for super 10. They should have made a format like world cup of 2 groups with all 6 associate teams split twith other top teams instead of un wanted qualifying tournament. The format is just 20 over game, you can't have very one sided games if you include them. Link to comment
Lord Posted October 27, 2013 Share Posted October 27, 2013 ^ agree bowling especially we need specialist bowlers. BK,Shukla,Mohit,Shami can be pacers for spinners,we can look to Nadeem,Mishra,Rassool etc. Link to comment

Ibes Posted October 27, 2013 Share Posted October 27, 2013 BD doesn't want to play Ire and Zim because if they lose there will just be more questions. Congrats to them improving to be able to draw with the Kiwis at home regularly I guess. Hey BD, no flatties plox. Link to comment
Tiger-Don Posted October 27, 2013 Share Posted October 27, 2013 Beating minnows in turning conditions....ooooohhh so hard that imma pee my pants.. taking down australia and west indies in spinning condition wont be tough either. this is a **** ***** world cup format. Link to comment
Pagalpanti Posted October 27, 2013 Share Posted October 27, 2013 Why do we always end up having a warm up vs the Lankans.. our players might as well just play EA Cricket Link to comment
Tiger-Don Posted October 27, 2013 Share Posted October 27, 2013 Why do we always end up having a warm up vs the Lankans.. our players might as well just play EA Cricket Dont underestimate EA cricket. I played it and now Im better at playing cricket than i was ever before. Teaches you a lot of handy lessons. Link to comment
Tiger-Don Posted October 28, 2013 Share Posted October 28, 2013 Group A is stuck is Chittagong, where there is massive turn! Dont be Surprised if South Africa or England gets knocked out from the 1st round. Group B is stuck in Mirpur where its a batting and pace paradise so again the current Champs, Windies and team unpredictable, Pakistan will struggle with their not their not the best/unreliable batting line up. But all in all, i expect exiting and intense contest right from the qualifying round to the final match. Again, DONT and I mean DONT be surprised if something out of this world happens in this World Cup. :D ;) Link to comment
Executioner Posted October 28, 2013 Share Posted October 28, 2013 I have a feeling this could be the best T20 world cup there might be bias but lets be honest, would you rather have a match in front of 25000 screaming with every boundary or wicket unless the home team plays. I expect the Indian and Pakistan matches to be packed Link to comment
Scarves Posted October 28, 2013 Share Posted October 28, 2013 WT20 should allow more minnows. If not in world cups then when? ofcourse BCCI is not going to invite Afghan or Ireland for the time being Yeah I think the best performing WT20 Qualifier should be a shoe in for the World Cup like automatic selection then let the others fight for like two places in the World Cup with their own matches. I would like to see it outside the Sub-continent but that's where the money is with T20. Link to comment
Executioner Posted October 28, 2013 Share Posted October 28, 2013 T20 Is not a good indicator at all Judging by Indias performance in the last 3 world T20s india are an ordinary side but in reality they are the best or 2nd best team in ODIs. As for tests they are in the top 4 which is pretty respectable. Afghans are good t20 player because their team I'd full of sloggers. As of now I think they can beat us Bangladesh on neutral venues but that won't mean that overall we are bad. World t20 however is a good place for weak teams to compete against top teams because thus format is that sort of a gamble. The tournament should be more for entertainment so it does not hurt to see minnows. There is test championship and CT for a reason. A worldcup should be a world cup. its sole purpose is not only to decide the best team in the world. Some teams have personal goals especially if they are nit among the favourites. Bangladesh fans know that we wont win but yet we follow the world cups with passion. Link to comment
Sidhoni Posted October 28, 2013 Share Posted October 28, 2013 People want to drop Dhoni in T20s? :phehehe: He is the world's most dangerous batsman in the format along with the likes of Gayle, ABDV etc Link to comment
Executioner Posted October 28, 2013 Share Posted October 28, 2013 Applies for IPL only has not been devastating in T20Is at all Link to comment
Scarves Posted October 28, 2013 Share Posted October 28, 2013 Doesn't he bat low anyway for T20? Link to comment
G_B_ Posted October 28, 2013 Share Posted October 28, 2013 ^in one edition of the WC he came it at 3 with disastrous consequences. I am more than happy with the Indian batting line up. Play the same line up as they do in the ODIs. Rohit Dhawan Kohli Raina (provided a typical sub pitch) Yuvi MSD Irfan Pathan / Rishi Dhawan (whoever is in form) Sir Nadeem Bhuvi Shami Rest of Squad. Ashwin (back up spinner), Rahane (back up opener), Samson (back up keeper and middle order bat) That will be my blue print in terms of players in a 15 man squad. Obviously i doubt MSD is going to pick try Nadeem so realistically we are looking at the same team for ODIs and T20s. Link to comment
Executioner Posted October 28, 2013 Share Posted October 28, 2013 I think youngsters like Samson should be slotted in for T20s. India don't have a quality opener than dhawan. I have no faith in Rohit and rahane has struggled. Will be good to see new faces than having to see moorali again and again Link to comment
Lord Posted October 28, 2013 Share Posted October 28, 2013 People want to drop Dhoni in T20s? :phehehe: He is the world's most dangerous batsman in the format along with the likes of Gayle, ABDV etc hes strangely not as explosive in T20Is as he is in IPL.takes time to settle down imo. Also hes senior now and should look to extend his career in other formats Link to comment
