ICC World T20, 2012 SriLanka

[jairamesh]

this is really dumb if Pakistan is complaining about spin friendly pitch :facepalm:

both Wasim and ICC chief are idiots moaning about pitches. The Premadesa pitches have been ideal for T20. It weeded out the sloggers.

You wanna see real crappy pitches ... wait till England and Australia tour India

Some things to learn from Lanka Inspired Selections It takes some guts to select an unknown 18 year old in a WC squad.They did that and it paid off,we keep selecting tried and tested failures:hehe: No such thing as a winning combination in t20 They dropped Herath who performed in the last match,Just pick the team based on the opposition,Dhoni wouldnt drop Bala against SA:facepalm: Attacking Cricket J.Mendis and Mattews attacked from the word go with the bat,some thing our guys could pick up,ofc u cant attack with the ball unless u have some good bowlers so that is a moot point for us Do what u think is right,forget the rest of the world They found a loophole and exploited it,the Indian team wouldnt dare to even think of it

Where does it say spinner friendly pitches are not ideal That means any cricket in sub-continent is not ideal :dontknow: As I said what do you expect when team batting first scores 260 odd and the chasing team gets there with 5 wkts down. That's an ideal odi wkt to me.

I remember Mike hussey saying that Aussies thought that 225+ would be enuf to bowl out India after Ashwin bowled the first over which turned square to beat Watson's bat. That's not Ideal pitch for a QF. That too one side of the pitch, not both the ends.

Mahela is an impressive captain.

They did the same thing against India in the 2011 World cup finals. That turned out well.

Ideal pitch is not a flat, pancake wicket where bowlers end up being cannon fodder to sloggers. Those are the worst kind of wickets. The pitch needs to have something in it, either for spinners or fast bowlers. The QF pitch was a fine one. It was slow and could have offered some turn but it was also a good batting track, otherwise chasing 260 would have been impossible with 5 wickets in hand.

They would've lost even more badly,if they had played the team they played in the semis:winky:

I wanna see an explosive atmosphere, wonder where that's feasible.

[Sidhoni]

Brilliant ad! It pumps me up.

[Crookbond]

As far as Inspired Selections go - remember Yusuf Pathan?

[Clarke]

I still don't see what's wrong, what's so bad about a contest between bat and ball and a tight game :angry_smile:

One thing they could learn from us to win in finals:rofl:

[bajrang]

seeing those glum lankan faces is so much worth the imaginary dollars lost here today.

[jairamesh]

Get the monies ready

[Sidhoni]

Pay Up :aha:

[ravishingravi]

Confess up People At 32/2 after 10 overs, who thought WI could win this game. I didnt. I knew they can give a fight with a score of 140, but never would have thought of them getting there at that stage.
