Yuvraj looks as fit as I have seen him in a long time. He'll continue to be a decent all rounder in ODI cricket, that spin bowling of his is quite handy alongside his powerful batting.
It's going to be hard to push into that test side though! Few other incumbents!]]> Sun, 10 Apr 2011 06:05:10 +0000 http://www.cricketworld.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5267&PID=214123#214123 Some predictions... : Yuvraj's bestdays ahead for... http://www.cricketworld.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5267&PID=214121#214121 Author: MalhotraRaj84

Yuvraj's best days ahead for next 5-6 years.Sub-Continent or Foreign pitches, he will be run machine. I see him making comeback in Test side aswell in future.

Yes Zuhair, it is still in the celebration but little quiter now.The fizz has calmed down a bit. How can it go on , many have lost their vocal cords temporarily after that frenzy celebrations.Few states have holiday today, where celebration is still going on. The TV channel won't stop till another week or so . All in all, it kind of light celebrations are still on.

Work has taken backseat for sure, I can assure that productivity will be at the least almost at all places. Wherever and whenever outside I go, I either hear Yuvraj, Dhoni, Sachin, Zaheer, Gautam's being discussed.
 
Streets still have not got rid of cracker garbage yet (blame it on the corporations). Sweet stalls have been emptied. Food joints are buzzing in eveing. Eating out  and partying among friends is going on. Restaurants have been busy, Facebook , Twitter feeds/updates are still overflowing in friends network, can't read em all.

Yes, I was more biased towards Group B. I expected all Group B teams to be semis.SA and Ind by capability, while I just hoped WI and Eng get lucky in Quarters. I was over ambitious about WI.Then I assumed SA to beat WI/Eng if they face them in semis. (I secretly knew SL/Pak have better chance as we are all playing in Sub-continent, I just did not want to believe it Wink)

EDIT : I should have given some weightage to SA's age old ability to err ...... forget it.

Ohh! Almost there, but not quite.Think I got lucky one more time with my little predictions.
 
Just read SA as SL  , 18 runs short by SRT Wink.
 
Of all my predicitons, the one I liked the most was regarding Yuvraj's man of the tournament prediciton. If you ask me , what I felt before the tournament I felt very strongly about two underachievers. One was Yuvraj and other was KP.I could see the hunger in them to perform. Sadly KP had to leave midway just when it seemed he was warming up himself for bigger matches.

Sorry Sam , I just can't see any way that New Zealand can beat Sri Lanka in Columbo - even if Murali is ruled out by injury.  New Zealand are like Kentucky Fried Chicken - you know exactly what you're going to get , no surprises , the same each and every time. They'll field like demons , catch almost everything , bat tenaciously , in other words , to their absolute limit. Sadly , that won't be enough against a side that is simply much better in two of the three disciplines. Their fielding was awful against England and I expect that to improve - they want another Final.  
             The word is that they'll be playing on the same pitch as Saturday's match.  That's not ideal  , but the Lankan batsmen are better equipped to handle it.    I think they'll win comfortably.

Even I feel that it could be a Pak-SL final, even though my heart disagrees all the signs show otherwise.
India has beaten Pak on the previous 4 occasions in the WC and its time the law of average caught up. Also in all those 4 games Pak had entered as favourite and lost. This time the boot is on the other foot as India enters the match as favourites.
Pakistan has a good record against India at mohali having chased the target of 330 successfully the last time round.

So I predict a PAK-SL finals ( do hope I go wrong). ]]> Mon, 28 Mar 2011 05:56:28 +0000 http://www.cricketworld.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5267&PID=213906#213906 Some predictions... : Ok at this point..I predict a... http://www.cricketworld.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5267&PID=213898#213898 Author: daisy77

I don't think Jerome Taylor is ever going to be back, he broke down in the last first class game that Jamaica played.  No official word yet on what injury it is this time, rumour has it a muscle in the back but one thing we know is that it is a back injury and that's not good.
 
Fidel Edwards is back playing for Barbados, he might be back for the series against Pakistan at home.
 
Fret not, West Indies will do better in the tests.  That's because Pollard wouldn't be playing for 1, Barath should be back and the stability of Nash and Chanderpaul.  Sammy is the only problem.  Chris Gayle and co are to blame though, they refused to sign the retainer contract so it was only left up to Sammy and Nash - rocket science isn't needed to tell you which they would have gone with.

It was always going to be Gayle vs Gul early on spinny and it is not good to have such reliance on one single player, there are various reasons to have hope though, that is how life always is, you need to look forward and move on, only then you can achieve great heights, I'm sure WI will bounce back sooner rather than later.

Zaheer is a different bowler now, was a key difference in the Windies game in that he cleaned up Smith.
 
By the way, West Indies will be beating Pakistan tomorrow.  Roach will blow down the incompetent top order!!  Bishoo will take care of the wreckless Afridi and co.  No sarcasm here, just the way I see it!  It's not Roach alone to take out wickets - the 4 of Russell, Roach, Rampaul and Bishoo should be playing tomorrow. 
 
Ok, i'm back to earth, I reckon West Indies will bowl well but man, their batting sucks at the moment.  If Gayle doesn't score runs, then i'd be very worried!
