Executioner Posted October 1, 2012 Posted October 1, 2012 I don't think there are too many out there Kohli, Ajmal, Watson are not "lone worriers" . Despite being exceptionally good, their teams are not going to fall apart without them. O'brian brothers from Ireland? fair enough about ajmal watson kohli, but these guys are so critical that these guys have been doing everything for the team India wouldve been altogether a differet team without kohli. When everyone struggled and india looked weak, kohli came in and won his team matches after matches. and dont rate obrian brothers highly. Paul stirling imo is a very decent player too.
Trundler27 Posted October 1, 2012 Posted October 1, 2012 this playing around with technicalities is so against the spirit of the game and defeats the purpose of the slow over rate rule!!! If SL is found in violation (even though eng will fold much earlier than 20 overs imo) then their real captain should be banned any way...... This is just so cunning from lankans... shame on them
Lord Posted October 1, 2012 Posted October 1, 2012 When was the last time Pak won a game with Ajmal failing
Crookbond Posted October 1, 2012 Posted October 1, 2012 Yes - hit SL hard and ban them for all the next three games. I agree with Numb. I wonder where the Great Siri Chu and the Maha Chu Raavanaa are now. :finger:
Executioner Posted October 1, 2012 Posted October 1, 2012 When was the last time Pak won a game with Ajmal failing there were only a few instances in recent time but they won against BD in this wc where Ajmal went wicketless in his 4 overs and gave away 32 runs the question is, when was the last time pakistan beat a decent opposition withouth Ajmal
GautiMaan Posted October 1, 2012 Posted October 1, 2012 Just confirming everyone's opinions abt them except tony greig:finger:
Crookbond Posted October 1, 2012 Posted October 1, 2012 http://www.espncricinfo.com/icc-world-twenty20-2012/content/current/story/584994.html So to prevent Jayawardene and Matthews (vice capt) getting banned from next game after being on warning for slow over rate, Sanga was the "official" capt for SL v Eng game. Yet it is clear on the field Jayawardene is making all the decisions. Well tbh, it is no surprise coming from Sri Lankan cricketers and Sanga, the great backer of "spirit of cricket". What is the rule for slow over rates in T20s?

Always found this rule arbitrary and stupid and what nice way to give a finger
CoverDrive Posted October 1, 2012 Posted October 1, 2012 this is not a matter of spirit of the game but cheating. just like what sanga did at the toss in the finals
Crookbond Posted October 1, 2012 Posted October 1, 2012 like I said it was more bad batting on slow wickets than toss factor.good team like SL will make a good score here too.its not such a bad wicket as was made to look by NZ n WI against Lanka.other one also not as bad as SA made it seem It is exactly what we meant as well - you can not use England as bench mark in any case.
nitinbwj Posted October 1, 2012 Posted October 1, 2012 Its going to be a tough game against Saffers. First' date=' they have a very good batting lineup, much better than Pakis. De Villiers, Duminy, Kallis, Amla, [b']Levy are all excellent batsmen. They have Morne Morkel, Steyn, Botha, Kallis in the bowling department who are also great. Their fielding as everyone knows is world class. They dont drop catches or misfield. India will have to do very well to beat them. :hysterical:..but he might firre against us :((
rkt.india Posted October 1, 2012 Posted October 1, 2012 Actually if we get a typical monsoon shower the chances are both matches will be rained off. We have seen SL super-soppers in action and they are not a pretty sight. And we all know that monsoon rains are not a passing shower and when it rains it pours heavily. Monsoon to kab ka over ho gaya yaar..India me bhi ho gaya..you are talking about srilanka.
Crookbond Posted October 1, 2012 Posted October 1, 2012 India could bring in Harbhajan for next game Not unlike England, South Africa also have a history of not playing spin with any great assurance on a wearing surface, so the temptation to bring Harbhajan Singh back into the mix will be overwhelming. How, and whether, Mahendra Singh Dhoni can manage that without altering the balance of the team will be interesting to see, especially given how well Lakshmipathi Balaji bowled against Pakistan and how determined Virender Sehwag was to show the team what they had missed by leaving him out in the previous game against Australia http://www.wisdenindia.com/preview/india-bring-harbhajan-next-game/28712
jairamesh Posted October 1, 2012 Posted October 1, 2012 What is the rule for slow over rates in T20s? 15 overs per hour I think same as all forms. Time for one t20 innings: 80 minutes.
