maniac Posted March 30, 2016 Posted March 30, 2016 Not a jinx thread. Don't need to jinx England of all teams. looks like they have found the right combo. you can just tell by their attitude and swagger. as I predicted before Stokes is a future ATG and is already on his way to get there. another prediction that became a reality is Joe root....boy is he world class. moeen Ali too is a very underrated cricketer. England got this prediction based on pure cricketing accumen . i don't want to be too late jumping on the bandwagon after the semis. take it writing...mark my words England first team to win this tourney twice who would have thunk it.

maniac Posted March 30, 2016 Author Posted March 30, 2016 Just now, fineleg said: Ben Stokes becoming an Ian Botham? May be the records are not there yet but Stokes as a batsman as a bowler and as a fielder is a much better and upgraded version of Botham....he is like what would Flintoff have become had he realized his full potential.
fineleg Posted March 30, 2016 Posted March 30, 2016 Yes with Stokes, Root and even Barbie and others, England is quite a team nowadays maniac 1
maniac Posted March 30, 2016 Author Posted March 30, 2016 England really took the 2015 wc debacle to heart....they are slowly becoming LOI bests. after getting kicked out of 3 WT20 first rounds we still keep recycling the same teams. even after the way we lost the 2014 final, we still have gone back to virtually the same players. yeah we are winning but I am still not convinced the way we are winning. we are just a one man team these days diehardpacer 1
bowl_out Posted March 30, 2016 Posted March 30, 2016 So, no new WC champs this year huh? India, WI, Eng have all won T20 WCs... One one them is going to win it for the second time
chewy Posted March 30, 2016 Posted March 30, 2016 God save the queen tweaker, zen, bowl_out and 1 other 4
chewy Posted March 30, 2016 Posted March 30, 2016 one thing for sure now, anyone of India, WI, or Eng are going to have serious bragging rights who is best T20ists since who ever wins, they will be first ones to win 2nd T20 world cup. adi B 1
asterix Posted March 30, 2016 Posted March 30, 2016 If India wins having no big hitter in the team and pathetic openers, it'll be a joke... adi B 1
Lannister Posted March 30, 2016 Posted March 30, 2016 Look at the way their openers go right from the start. They just don't give a sh!t about who the bowler is. I hope Dhoni is watching this. Mosher, diehardpacer and vijay50 3
Number Posted March 30, 2016 Posted March 30, 2016 (edited) They are such a weird LOI side. They were pretty good ODI side till 2014, reached CT2013 finals. Played well in India in ODIs. Then suddenly went out of form in world cup and lost to BD. Now their batting seems to be toying with gun attacks. Edited March 30, 2016 by Number diehardpacer 1
zubinpepsi Posted March 30, 2016 Posted March 30, 2016 Their openers and no.3 look very dangerous. This WC is theirs to lose. diehardpacer and adi B 2
Temujin Khaghan Posted March 30, 2016 Posted March 30, 2016 if our rohit sharma comes to form, he can do as much damage as gayle.

adi B Posted March 30, 2016 Posted March 30, 2016 England certainly look dangerous ,especially that batting line up they are the team to beat now just like in wt20 and also the fact that they have beaten us before in Kolkata.if they face windies then that's a different story diehardpacer 1

I was thinking the same lol,it'll be perhaps because of our bowling performances but England and windies are certainly powrr house in t20 format with their explosive batting line ups diehardpacer and asterix 2

YCCC Posted March 30, 2016 Posted March 30, 2016 I wouldn't say England have better bowling than India. Ashwin and Jadeja are better than Moeen and Rashid. Stokes, Willey and Jordan are not better than Bumrah and Nehra. India don't have a Plunkett so can't compare. Aside from Kohli's heroics, the bowling is the main reason India have got this far adi B and Forever Indian 2
