ICC World T20, 2012 SriLanka

Sehwag treated Ajmal like any other bowler. the ball he got out was a well times shot but placement was wrong . Only if he could come down the order and Kohli opened.

When Viru in full flow , he would virtually finish Ajmal's career. Rightnow a bit out of touch. Even now he is still capable of murdering Ajmal . But either way we have to get him inside 6 overs and beat the crap out of him. Once you hit him out of the attack they won't have any bowler to fall back on.

I would open with Ashwin n Pathan' date='bowl bhajji/5th bowler in middle over n save Zak exclusively for the death overs.tell him to practise yorkers n slowers only[/quote'] I would rather have Zak bowling upfront along with Irfan. They have been plummeted the most in the Death and would not risk them there. Have either Ashwin or Bhajji bowl at the death.

So far this tourney has been an EPIC :fail: . If BD causes an upset here...it would be awesome !!

ya hoping for the repeat of their 1999 feat. Bd should bat first...post a decent total and let the Pak batting brain fart begin...

[Mahaa Raavana]

How was the banned time? Looks like you want some more. :giggle:

Well mate...if I get banned for telling the truth,so be it.I'm just saying what all the fans and the media here are saying.

spin at death is highly risky.also I want Ashwin n Bhajji to be in wicket taking role n not in containing role in death overs.maybe one over at max from Ashwin. we need a pacer at death with IrfanZak is still our best death bowler if he gets it right.he needs to be used somewhat like how Pak used Gul in 2009 T20.only for death overs against Pak maybe we can bowl one over from Zak with new ball.otherwise theres no point

first dhoni should drop himself.

+1 he is no saint and no better than motu in this format,but now since he is the captain and the only wk in the side and motu is failing for sometime, he can stick with the same combo as vs eng.. best way to trouble saf,aus is by playing 2 spinners +fatraj

[vvvslaxman]

Another thing is India should not follow the standard 2 overs each for seamers. May be they should try 1 over spell for each bowler not allowing the opposition to settle down.

[adi B]

Zak at no.3 what you say? Vettori's brilliant idea :hmmm:

how about bhaj with field in #1 down :ohmy:

Going by most of your comments...no one in the team should be playing the game. Might make a good coach for no good reasons. :hatsoff:

Then who will bowl at the other end at the death,Dinda/Balaji will be flayed worse than Zak.Not sure if its wise to bowl Ashwin and bhajji in tandem

[vamos_rafa]

Then who will bowl at the other end at the death' date='Dinda/Balaji will be flayed worse than Zak.Not sure if its wise to bowl Ashwin and bhajji in tandem[/quote'] I would still go with Irfan instead of Zak.

ICC has changed the water supply at the World Twenty20 after teams complained of stomach illnesses http://www.espncricinfo.com/icc-world-twenty20-2012/content/story/583978.html

Nobody has any proof that there was the slightest thing wrong with the bottled water supplied for World Twenty20. But to address the concerns of one team - believed to be Australia - the brand of water has been changed for players, media, hospitality and event staff for the rest of the tournament.

What is wrong with the SLC? Can't even arrange water bottles correctly! :facepalm: It's not just the non Asian players but even Raina and Yuvraj Singh who have fallen ill today. Pathetic host!

[Crookbond]

Well mate...if I get banned for telling the truth' date='so be it.I'm just saying what all the fans and the media here are saying.[/quote'] We are a reasonable breed you see. You can go through 1000s of our threads where we snipe at the BCCI. Do you have any proof? If not, I'm afraid this is a "figment of imagination" of the "fans and the media in SL".

Bangladesh has the ability to hit Pak's rear.....Come on Bengalis....hit it hard

[Clarke]

Good batting so far, at least they've put some amount of runs on the board. Respect for Shakib, stands up to the task yet another time.

[saket123]

Most likely it won't happen. Bangladeshi's will only win if they take wickets every other over or something.. Pakistan obviously cannot be contained within 140 with wickets in hand. Bangladeshi's may still win (50% chance).. but chances of qualifying are very slim to none.

[Executioner]

^^ IF bd could score 175 against a brilliant bowling :)) lineup then why will be hard to resist them to under 140 when you know the team is poor at chasing

Pakistan is not really poor at chasing. They are just very inconsistent. Potential wise Pakistan can chase down any total and even Umar Gul can wallop up some huge sixes at times. Looking at the way Pakistan is batting, Pakistan would wind this up with 2 or more overs to spare.

[Number]

Respect for Shakib. What a man. :hatsoff: A lot depends on his bowling too.
