how come these two are grouped together every time, these teams will definately get through anyway, it would be better to see them clash in the super 8's where theres more pressure. Or maybe even the semi finals or the final ------------- Flavia et Cornelia sedebat sub arbore!!! Oh My goodness!! Sitting under a tree! |

I really must say that India's T20 squad is a black box. Sometimes (actually, most of the time) I just cant understand the BCCI. Sehwag hasnt done anything remarkable since his exclusion from the squad and neither has Pathan. Harbhajan has done pretty well in England and I can understand him being brought back.
Sehwag being brought back just because of his reputation as a big hitter isn't enough of a reason for me personally. However, as we all know, if Sehwag is on song at the tournament, he could tear apart any attack.

| it is very difficult to say something at the moment. India never played before without the key players. Pakistan will play also without the key players. I see a little advantage for Pakistan in Bowling attack and i think bowling will win matches in Twenty20 more than in other forms. 3 quick wickets in first 5 overs and its very difficult to fight back. |

I think that people are over rating Pakistan's bowling lineup. It's mainly pace bowlers and I think that could be their downfall.
Pacers normally go for quite a few in T20 so it will be intersting to see if this trend carries on.
India vs. Pakistan will be a good game to watch. Can't wait. ------------- Minn hugur er minn sverð (My mind is my sword) |
Posted By: EnglandFan

Well south africa normally has alot of green top pitches, so pace bowling attacks benefit quite alot. Also i think pakistan has quite a few spinners, some part time but still handy.

I have no predictions for the Pak vs India match. They both played badly at the world cup. Their performances were about the same at the world cup (neither of them even qualified for the super8 and they were both beated by lowly ranked teams). However, Pak had more disasters than India did with regards to losing their coach. Anyway who knows what will happen this time around. Both teams should be fighting really hard and then again it's 2020 cricket! ------------- |

I still think that they're one full time spinner short. The pitches are solid and green which will provide grip for the spinners as well as seam movement. This will also bring the ball onto the bat more which batting teams love in T20. They need to find a way to take pace off the ball and they haven't given themselves many options to do it with.
I'd have to agree that Afridi's bowling can be dangerous and Khan doesn't normally go for many but it still bothers me that they haven't payed attention to T20 across the world which has shown that spinners fare better in this format. ------------- Minn hugur er minn sverð (My mind is my sword) |

| India's approach is interesting in a way, I suppose. It seems as though they arent taking the event too seriously but the guys that are selected will be playing for their careers (more than a few actually). Both the Pathans, the Sharmas and even the guys that are coming back into the side will have something to prove. |

I'd say Saqlain if I could have picked any Pakistan spinner but because it would be highly unlikely that the Pakistan selectors would have picked him I'd have to go with the more obvious (but less impressive) choice of Danish Kaneria. ------------- Minn hugur er minn sverð (My mind is my sword) |
Posted By: daisy77

Kaneria is not a bad choice.......You would have to consider his batting ability though because it's 2020 so you never know if he'll be put in a position where he'll have to make runs for the team to win! ------------- |

All he has to do is what all tailenders do (apart from infuriating the proper batsman), belt it one.
After all, T20 is the sloggers game. He shouldn't have to bat in a T20 match anyway. If the proper batsmen can't stick around for 20 overs then they deserve to lose. ------------- Minn hugur er minn sverð (My mind is my sword) |

In spinners department Pakistan got good bowlers like afridi, muhammad hafeez, abdul rehman, fawwad alam etc.
afridi is very helpful but I thin in 20/20 format Muhammad Hafeez is very good, he is that type of bowler who not only control the run but also take some wickets. I am also want to see what fawwad alam how he will perform in this world cup because at domestic level he is very handy, he can bat very well, he is a good fielder and most importantly he is a very good bowler.

yeah they do have good bowlers but how's their batting look? I know in 2020 cricket it's all about slogging so you need no real talent as a batsman to play this form of cricket. However, I mean for the future of the Pakistan team. Especially as they are going to lose two of their very valuable batsmen because of the ICL. Do they have any batsmen who will be able to replace these players? ------------- |

LOL...Well Spin there is no player that could replace Yousuf or Inzi because as you said they are classy players (just like there is no one that could replace my favourite player because there is just no batsman exactly like him)....but it should be interesting to see who the Pak selectors will choose in their places. ------------- |

Could be. You never know.
Ofcourse, nothing would please me more than to see an in-form Sehwag at the T20 WC. A dash at the start from him, then some sensible batting in the middle and a few big ones in the end from Dhoni and Yuvraj should set up a big total.
Sounds so simple, doesnt it?

Haha, yeah, it does sound so. I guess it's that how for international players. Sehwag is one who can scare the hell out of a bowler.

What's going on with Agarkar? Has he been out of the team for a while or is it that I'm not keeping up with Indian cricket? I think he is a very good bowler who has a lot of talent. I think it was during a series with the windies that he really impressed me.

India has only played one 20/20 (don't know about Pakistan). They played it in SA and won it too. So there is confidence there but one game is not enough especially when the top 3 batsmen aren't there. The team is also depending upon the batting of Sehwag and Pathan and Harbhajan's performce. If Sehwag gets out early a lot will fall on the shoulders of Yuvraj and Dhoni. Karthik too. All three of them are good but on of the trio should have been included. Dravid would have been good seeing that he's been speeding up ever since the world cup. ------------- |

Dravid has class mate. I don't know why people thought he couldn't score quickly. It's just that it really isn't necessary at times! If he use to do it, that team would have been in shambles because he could have lost his wicket trying to score fast. ------------- In troubled times, being philosophical helps a great deal, it helps you to remain sane and not do any further damage. |

That was never Dravids role within the batting lineup. His role was (and still is) to steady the ship after a wicket and then build partnerships. The others score(d) quickly around him so he never needed to.
Just because he didn't need to, it doesn't mean that he can't. ------------- Minn hugur er minn sverð (My mind is my sword) |

Also he is the team Captain and one of his goal when batting is to make sure the team gets a good enough score and if everyone swings their bat like a fool, just can't see India batting out many overs and many thanks must be given to Dravid. ------------- August 16th 2009, my team Youth Combine was crowned CHAMPION once more |

It's a blessing in disguise, a potential threat taken off from the heads of youngsters like Asif, who are the real future for Pakistan. Shoaib, no matter how destructive he could be, might have another year or so of cricket left in him, but his behavious has been ridiculous and he does not deserve to represent Pakistan on any forum, keeping aside the great game of cricket.
I've heard his name has been included in the ECL so that there's no ICL for him. ------------- "Excellence is something we can reach for; perfection is God's business." |

Quite right Shan! I'm happy to hear that even the Pakistan cricket fans are finally happy to let him go. Potentially a great cricket player, but a right head-case! ------------- Good one Graham! |
