Asia Cup 2012

[Lord]

I'd take the punt n open with Yusuf.Sachin-GG partnership has never worked n both r not as capable of taking advantage of PP as Yusuf this will be my team Yusuf Sachin GG Kohli Dhoni Raina Irfan Ashwin PK Rahul Sharma Dinda

[SLICKR392]

I don't see MSD coming in at 4 unless the team is in deep trouble. My XI would be Sachin Gambhir Kohli Raina Rohit Dhoni Yusuf Jadeja Ashwin Irfan Vinay/Dinda

:WTF:

My dear ..........i hope these three come again and play ( umesh zak and ishant)- i bet they will route the oppostion totally because i am sure ishant will also do a bit better than what he did in Australia................i am Sure that ishant ZAK and Umesh together is the best test bowling attack INDIA has today, i am assuming Ishant will bowl better and wont be the BIG UNLUCKY ISHant as he was in AUstralia......... 2 bowlers bowling at 150 K and one left arm 135K bowler at the twilight of his career and at the complete top of his Skills( ZAK) + one good spinner( ojha or ashwin or Rahul)...Its a dreadful attack for tests, if we can play irfan as a fifth bowling all rounder than its really GOOD.

Sri Lanka favourites for Asia Cup: Waqar Younis

Former Pakistan bowler and head coach, Waqar Younis has said Sri LankaÃÔ scintillating performance in the recently- concluded CB series in Australia makes them firm favourites for the Asia Cup. Ÿe have seen both India and Pakistan struggle recently in One Day Internationals with Sri Lanka doing unexpectedly well in Australia. If you go by form alone, then Sri Lanka have to be considered firm favourites, but in the sub-continent, pitches and conditions are different and will be spin friendly ?" so really its down to the classic case of any team that plays well on that one day will win. After all, these are good Asian sides ?" they all know the pitches and they all know the conditions very well, Pak Passion.net quoted Younis, as saying. He added that those who underestimate tournament hosts, Bangladesh, are doing it at their own risk. Å°ne should not write off Bangladesh as well, they are a good side ?" they may not win the tournament but they have the ability to upset some of the bigger sides, he added. Younis expressed concern about the ÅÃurn out factor confronting the Pakistan team and called on new coach Dav Whatmore to notice the issue. Ū think the Pakistan squad for the Asia Cup is a balanced side ?" I just feel that the boys are getting a little tired - I could see the signs of wear and tear in them during the recently concluded ODI and T20 series against England. Given that we have series against Sri Lanka and Australia coming up this year, I am sure a rotation policy will be useful here. For that you do need a few more youngsters to come into the team. I am sure Dav Whatmore will look into this and get some younger players from the domestic circuit and try and implement a sensible rotation policy, he added.

The captain who wins the tosses will win the Asia Cup.It will be a win the toss,bowl first and win the match kind of a tournament.Because toss will play a crucial factor,therefore India has very less chances :D

[Zelig]

:agree:

[asterix]

Congratulations to SriLanka for winning the Asia Cup.. :hatsoff:

[vvvslaxman]

We can already start thread for analyzing why India failed to make it to final. They won't disappoint you.

[Swing_n_Speed]

Don't see us loosing the Asia Cup. But our bowling does look a bit thin.

[SLICKR392]

These are SC conditions. We are very much in the mix with Lankans to grab the trophy.

Our bowling is even more crappy in SC conditions.

[cowboysfan]

I think we will do well mainly because our crappy part timers will bowl well in favorable conditions.

[vvvslaxman]

I think we will do well mainly because our crappy part timers will bowl well in favorable conditions.

our main bowlers will be crappy. India heavily depends on batting. Also Yuvraj is missing in this line up.
