Topic: T/20 World Cup Posted: 19 March 2007 at 1:36pm |

England have been drawn in the same group as Australia and Zimbabwe for
the T20 world cup later this year in SA. Interesting that , I
might just have to get there if the convicts are pitted against us in
CT !!

Because they are better than them, as proven at the recent Associates tournament, the 1st and 2nd of which (Kenya & Scotland) qualified for this tournament

Kaif needs to play for India. A great runner between the wickets and superb fielder too. Oh and he can bat.

T/20 is very popular in SA (like it is in most countries) - if the
grounds are full , then their pricing will be justified. If, on
the other hand , the matches are sparsely attended we'll have yet
another disaster to put on the ICC's CV.

T20 provides the best entertainment for the crowd, but doesn't fascinate too much as a game.
Its nothing more than blind hitting as is observed in the street cricket played in most parts of Pak and Ind. The idea is.....send every ball out of the ground!!!

Yes, but no spinner to defend the score, or keep the opposition down from chasing. Spinners have proven to be very very effective and as always are a key component of any bowling line up.

I was given a list of ticket prices for the T20 world cup at the
pub on Saturday. Very reasonable prices they are too - unfortunately I
left the list on the bar!!
I'll post the list as soon
as I get another one. Well done Steve Elworthy and his team for pricing
this event correctly , I expect the grounds to be packed when the big
boys play one another.

Right team , the prices for the tournament start at R20 (!) and
reach a peak of R120 . R20 represents matches involving the
weaker sides and R120 for double headers in the knock out stages of the
event!
By any standards that's dirt cheap and again , I congratulate the organising committee.
I think I'll pop along to Newlands for a few of these thrashes , who knows , I might just become a convert!

If you are already used to seeing Newlands packed and full of atmosphere you might not notice the difference I suppose. But to those of us used to seeing our county grounds somewhat moribund, pitching up on a Thursday evening to find the place absolutely heaving it came as quite an eye opener.
I am astounded at those prices incidentally. For those who can't be bothered to work it out for themselves, the most expensive tickets come in at around £8.35!

We're pleasantly surprised here in SA Clobs and I'm sure that the grounds will be heaving.
