Pakistan has ability to defend T20 WC title: Butt April 10, 2010 Pakistan opener Salman Butt has said that his side has the ability to defend their Twenty20 World Cup title starting on April 30 in the West Indies. Butt said the Pakistani squad has the potential to upset even the best teams in the world, but added that each player would have to give his best to help the team lift the coveted trophy for the second consecutive time. "We will go all out to retain the title and put our best for it. When I look at the Pakistan team, especially in this shortest format, I think anyone who plays to his full potential has the ability to single-handedly win the game for us on any given day," The Dawn quoted Butt, as saying. The left-handed batsman pointed out that Pakistan shares a tough group with Australia, and every player would need to give more than 100 per cent on the field. "It's going to be a tough tournament. We're in a difficult and tricky group with Australia, which is a very good side. In the shortest format, it's hard to say who will do well as it is all about who plays well on the day," Butt said.
achilles Posted April 10, 2010 Posted April 10, 2010 Of course you do. But not if you practice off the field instead of on it.
Jai Ho Posted April 10, 2010 Posted April 10, 2010 lol this kid butt is talking? they should forfeit already :cantstop:
Clarke Posted April 10, 2010 Posted April 10, 2010 Was he referring to the test matches against Australia this summer ? Yea sure they can defend the record.
vvvslaxman Posted April 10, 2010 Posted April 10, 2010 Loads of fluke is required to defend their title. I cannot fathom how a substandard tam like Pakistan which has players like Butt, Afretard win a match. Hey in T20 anything can happen. Ordinary zimbabwe restricted Windies for 79 runs. They also beat Australia once. India should have a 5 match T20 series with Pakistan and put those jokers in place.

Attacking players, good spinners, good quickies.

Compare the record of Pakistani spinners with your spinners in T20 internationals and you'll get an unpleasant surprise:haha: Afridi and Ajmal against harbahjan and chawla :yay: How many ODIs have you won against us and how many ODIs have we won against you?:haha:
