Tiger-Don Posted March 10, 2014 Share Posted March 10, 2014 out of curiosity' date=' if these morons don't make it to round 2 (the main event) will the profit from the tournament take a nose dive? It would make sense to me that the home crowd won't want to see a match like Ireland vs WI for example in big numbers.[/quote'] they mke it or not, it'll be the same as the last tournament in sri lanka. Home team matches gets lots of crowds and others dont. now I sincerely hope big matches gets crowds. Link to comment
Zero_Unit Posted March 10, 2014 Share Posted March 10, 2014 I personaly like odi better than t20 Link to comment
Silva Posted March 10, 2014 Share Posted March 10, 2014 I think if they really want t20 cricket to catch on they should try and get it into the Olympics. That way the international calender would make more sense, every year their would be a big tournament, champions trophy, t20 world cup, ODI world cup, Olympic t20, but it won't happen because all the boards want a cut out of the profit like they get off of the ICC tournaments.

Silva Posted March 10, 2014 Share Posted March 10, 2014 who do they have too many world 20ss...to please teams who cannot win WCs? what stupidity easy tournament to set up and probably is a cash cow for the ICC and all the countries participating in the tournaments. Has nothing to do with pleasing weaker ODI team IMO. Link to comment

rkt.india Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 Dhawan better off after South Africa 'setback' Shikhar Dhawan in South Africa: four Test innings, 76 runs, a highest of 29. Dhawan in New Zealand: four innings, 215 runs, a century that nearly won India a lost match and a 98 that put them in a winning position. Dhawan believes the two performances are related to each other. The "setback" in South Africa, he has told ESPNcricinfo, made him introspect and work further on his batting, which bore results in New Zealand. "From South Africa, when I didn't score that much, I analysed my game that as a batsman, or as an opener, what shots I have to play at the start or what shots I shouldn't play," Dhawan said. "Every pitch is different. We were playing in India a lot that time [just before going to South Africa]. Then when I went there, it was a setback. I wouldn't say a failure, but the setback helped me a lot to become a more mature player. "Then I realised, 'Okay on these kinds of tracks I need to play these kind of shots. And I have to leave bouncers [alone] at the start because the bounce is different, and it is hard to keep the ball down.' That's what I did and brought those things into my practice. When I went to New Zealand that practice became my instinct, and that's how I scored big runs there." It has now been a year since Dhawan's comeback into the Indian team resulted in a sensational debut-Test century. A late bloomer, the 28-year-old Dhawan has scored seven international centuries in this period. Only his friend and now team-mate Virat Kohli has scored more hundreds over the last 12 months. Time has simply flown for Dhawan. "One year is over already," Dhawan said. "It went so quickly. Good time always flies really fast. I celebrated on my own, the first anniversary with the Indian team. It's a great feeling. We won so many series, and of course we saw a bit of down time too. But that's how it is. You see ups and downs both. It is a beautiful journey. I am happy that I have been contributing to my side. I want to keep doing that, I want to keep improving as a batsman, and keep winning matches and series for my side. "I had a bit of a lean patch too. That lean patch made me stronger, and made me realise the areas I had to improve on. Made me a more mature player. That's the best thing. It is a beautiful thing that I scored a lot of centuries and half-centuries. That's every batsman's dream: to score a lot of centuries and become the main man for the team." Dhawan had to wait in the wings because two other Delhi batsmen formed one of India's most prolific opening partnerships of all time. He is philosophical about that phase, and also knows there can be no room for complacency. "I scored seven centuries in domestic cricket when I came to the Test side," Dhawan said. "I always believed it is a race that never ends. When Gautam bhai [Gambhir] and Viru bhai [sehwag] were playing, I was playing in Ranji. I always used to believe this race never ends. I should just keep performing well, and then my time will come. Then god blessed me with [a place in the] Indian team. I just focus on my game, whatever is in my hand - my hard work, my dedication, my commitment to my team - that's all I do. And keep learning day by day." Not just at the top of the order, there has been a change of the batting guard through the whole Indian batting line-up. Dhawan is pleased with how the transition has gone ahead. "Every individual takes that responsibility," Dhawan said. "To be the main man. To take the responsibility to win the match for the team. We are youngsters, we are still learning a lot of cricket. "It doesn't happen overnight. You have to spend time out there and play a lot of matches to get experience. We have been doing well as a young unit. We won a lot of series, we lost a few too, but I personally feel we are doing really well. Out of these young players, there are going to be lots of future legends." http://www.espncricinfo.com/india/content/story/726799.html HACK Period. Link to comment

velu Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 WC T20 is not even the popular T20 tournament .. IPL is more popular than WC T20 .. IMO for the fans , IPL offers more than ODI WC or atleast for the indian fans.. guys like afridi or hafeez would trade their brains or a hand to take part in IPL Link to comment
