Kirankri, I think GreenCap is not saying that if Pakistan wanted to they would win it easy. I believe hes questioning the devotion and willingness from the player, wanting to win it, I am not questioning it but I believe that is what Greencap was implying as in the next sentence he goes on to speak about a rumored divide in the team. I could be wrong
 Interesting statement either way!Edited by abubakar52 - 15 February 2011 at 4:52am |

May be, he has to say what exactly he meant. However, I don't deny the fact that, even Pakistan stands a chance. But there is no team this time which is sure about it's spot even in the semis. |

Yup, I guess only Green Cap himself can tell us
and yes, each of the top nations stands a chance, Ireland looks like a decent minnow once again for group A, decent showing against NZ and now Great start against Zim

abubakar summed it up very well.
If there are 2-3 lobbies in the team, then you can only dream of winning a major tournament. By delaying the captain announcement, PCB has ensured that the team doesn't start the tournament as a fully united side. And yes, due to pathetic format of the tournament, even ZIM can go far in the tournament if they manage to beat the other minnows and one of the test nations.

I've heard about the different factions within the team and I agree , if some aren't happy with the captain chosen they might well underperform. That's Pakistan though , their fans suffer a heart attack watching every match !  |

The team in my view seems well settled and the lobby part is just over hyped. Players wont under perform on purpose, not this current crop at least.

I agree with Zuhair, this specific Pakistan team looks willing to win.

Just what the ICC didn't want , a completely one sided affair. Kenya have gone backwards and the likes of Tikolo looks half the player that he was in his youth. Expect them to get hammered by the other top sides before the month is out.

Maybe mate , I see that the next WC will only feature 10 teams. Still , these one sided affairs don't do the game any good whatsoever.

Have to feel for the broadcaster for the NZL Kenya match. It lasted 30 odd overs.

well there have been comments about Afghanistan and Scotland being more deserving of this WC place than KEN and CAN and it looks true, the qualifiers take place 2 years ago and that makes a difference.

Tait was bowling pretty quick today but the speed guns at times showed up just 139, that was a bit surprising to a few of us.
How accurate are the speed guns? Edited by sam_ahmed - 21 February 2011 at 7:49pm |

No chance... More likely to be Pakistan imo. Nz has been in pretty poor form but we do tend to build our selves up for these tornaments and you cant take any thing from the recent Pakistan vs NZ series. That series was a joke. ROTATION....
Cant see Pakistan or Nz losing to Zimbabwe tho imo.
Im just looking forward to the Nz Vs Australia and Pak vs Australia games....... I wont be cheering for the Aussies thats for sure.

I saw a Canadian bowler bowl a decent pace and the speedguns were registering slowish speeds. I said no way, no way that speed would get batsmen ducking (a bouncer was bowled for that one)

21 for 2 in 8 overs - watching the Pakistanis brings the memories of 2007 Ireland match.

Yes Zuhair but thank God Pakistan won comprehensively at the end. By the way that new kit was looking good on them.

I was never in doubt that PAK will score big despite those two early wickets, anyways 2 points in the bag is important and the next game is a real big one against SLN. PAK should play Wahab Riaz and rely upon Afridi and hafeez for spin. Riaz is a must if PAK are to win this WC. |

I don't know why they didn't give Junaid Khan chance against Kenya. I hope they give him chance during Zimbabwe and Canada matches.

Junaid won't get a game unless absolutely necessary, at the most he might be tried against Canada but against ZIM PAK will play their main team.
Anyways, two big games tomorrow and I predict NZL to end Australia's 12 year undefeated streak in WC's. Tomorrow is the day guys!

83-6 and we will have to wait for a few more days before seeing Aussies streak coming to an end.

114-6 now , something of a recovery after getting belted , first up. Maybe this Aussie side is a tad better than I thought !

It certainly is - but their real test lies ahead against SRL and Pak. I still expect Aussies to top this group.
