Was a bit biased, did not do much analysis, and said that on the team thread where you are supposed to say that 

 

PS don't forget MI won twice in a row before

Can tell once I observe the teams at that time ... on pre tournament calls, reminds me of the below:

terrific analysis.

[AuxiliA]

The first two were kind of predictable, but kudos for predicting this T20 WC right. 

[coffee_rules]

At KOs, I predicted the finalists and winner. Based on pure luck or wishful thinking.

 

Note to self: I should bet on lottery or stocks more

Does @zen baaba predict the return of legend SDP to Indian team?

As per my calculations and after ICC’s trophy awarding process analysis, the next T20WC will be won by NZ…

I am biased here but will tell that SDP is most likely to rock at IPLs esp. in India. An unlucky team will be slaughtered by him sooner or later. There is no way India can afford to not play its key impact player. SDP needs to be batting in the top 4 and given more responsibilities to make an impact. Got wasted against Pak where he came in around the 19th over and with Ind in dire position at 48/4 v NZ. Bat him early to take on the bowlers, which can make it easy for other batsmen too

PS Let’s not forget that the next T20WC is in Aus where SDP was MoS in T20s and highest scorer for Ind in ODIs, averaging over a 100!

Hardly any of this is prediction thread. Everyone knew about England's rise in ODIs. That WTC thread is more of a question. And in wt20,you have opened thread for NZ as well. Not impressed.

If SDP wins india the world t20 next year in Australia which I believe we will then I will never ever doubt him again. Infact I will upgrade him from small dick pandya to supreme dick pandya.

If I were to start recording scores I'd be about 8/12 going back a few tournaments. It's not every difficult to pick winners given that there are only 6/7 real competitors in any competition in cricket. Picking England to win the 2019 WC at home was pretty easy given their form. Not too dissimilar to picking Djokovic to win Wimbledon that year too.

 

Picking Aus to win this one, well done - but this tournament was based on tosses rather than on field performances.

Buddy, don't wait for things to happen. Take the plunge  ... People have doubted unconventional batsmen like Sehwag (many though Jaffar was better for e.g.), Dhoni (many though Karthik was better), etc., unnecessarily. You do not want to be in such a group!

 

 

PS Note Yuvi made his debut in 2000, then clicked big time in 2007 T20 WC and 2011 ODI WC. Below was Yuvi in 2003 WC v key teams:

Primary team India

Opposition team Australia  or England  or New Zealand  or Pakistan  or South Africa  or Sri Lanka  or West Indies

Start of match date between 1 Jan 2003 and 1 Jan 2004

Trophy World Cup

Batting position between 1 and 7

Ordered by batting average (descending)

Overall figures

Player	Mat	Inns	NO	Runs	HS	Ave	BF	SR	100	50	0	4s	6s
R Dravid	6	6	3	225	62	75.00	329	68.38	0	2	0	16	1

D Mongia	6	4	0	66	32	16.50	123	53.65	0	0	0	6	1

 

Aus backed many of its players to win the T20 title for the first time. Sometimes we need to show patience with rare talent.

Really hope so. His extravagant lifestyle is worrisome but we shall see.

I want him to do well.
