I think people need to lay of the IPL job angle. Tresco has severe issues with flying. He is not going to leave England at any point. France at max the next best. Its to do with the mental issues he has. Tresco has always been positive about India even before the IPL. I think he had an Indian girlfriend who he was serious with before it did not work out. So has a soft spot

Tone down expectations a bit, Shakib Al Hasan to Bangladesh fans http://indianexpress.com/article/sports/cricket/tone-down-expectations-a-bit-shakib-al-hasan-to-bangladesh-fans/ As Bangladesh prepares to host its biggest sporting event yet in the 2014 World T20 (during the 2011 World Cup, they were just one of three co-hosts), their most prolific player, Shakib Al Hasan, has asked the team’s supporters to be a bit realistic about their chances. “As the tournament is at home, we will have the support but there shouldn’t be too much expectation,” Shakib is quoted as saying in an interview with ESPNcricinfo. “I have heard people say, ‘Let the cup stay at home.’ But I think we have to tone that down a bit.” Bangladesh are not in the best of forms, having recently been blanked 3-0 by Sri Lanka in their backyard before losing all their matches while hosting the Asia Cup, including to ODI newbies Afghanistan. Incidentally, Bangladesh open their World T20 campaign against the same side. “We should fear everyone because we don’t know much about Nepal and Hong Kong,” the all-rounder added. “Say we score 160 but someone from the other side scores a hundred. Scotland have done that to us in the past. We have to be careful in all the games. It is hard to recover from a mistake in a T20.” Mistakes, Bangladesh have made on the cricket field in the past, especially while playing a big match at home. During the 2011 World Cup, they put up a fight against India in the opening game, before being bowled out for just 58 against the West Indies. Then, having beaten England a week later, they crumbled against South Africa soon after. Shakib, hence, is rather wary of how the fans react when the team blows hot and cold. “Too much expectation does put undue pressure on us,” he said. “Please support us, the team will do better. But everyone has to take the result sportingly.”

Pak has a great chance

Hope everybody disses India and gives us no chance. We always do well as underdogs(1983,85,2k7,2k13), we do badly when we are hyped up as favourites(except 2011 WC).

Aussies for me.

[putrevus]

Aussies for me.

on what basis?

[vvvslaxman]

Aussies for me.

I consider them as dark horses. They have some real beasts all through the line up.

Check out the line up. They made it to the semis last year and now they have a much stronger attack up front. Finch, Warner, Watson, Bailey, Hodge, Maxwell, Faulkner M.Johnson, M.Starc and the Muirhead guy is pretty good too. Johnson had an awesome IPL last year. Finch and Hodge's inclusion makes them much formidable than the last time. West Indies have an immaculate T20 line up. Mystery spinners & hard hitters. Perfect for SC conditions and the short boundaries in BD.

India should be a dark horse if yuvi and raina click, there is no total which India cannot chase down. on these pitches both Aussies and WI can be controlled to some extent by our spinners.

You think these people laughing don't think India could win this? They are just trying to jinx. :giggle: Did that in the CT and it somehow worked out.

everybody there is vulnerable to spin in Aussie line up MJ and co hold no big threat on these pitches. WI is bigger threat IMO badri and narine can pose problems to anyone, but WI have to beat Ajmal and co.
