Official ICC World T20 thread

I think the reasoning for this format was a more predictable format for television, fans, and of cause advertising. It's all about money.. So essentially you could buy tickets to ALL sa games pre tournament excl. knockout(semi + final) stage sold separately.

But it is really silly....
 
Ooooo Pakistan batting 1st, I wonder if they can pull it off. I think they batting 1st so they can put on the runs -hopefully- and then if they bowl them out perhaps the run rate is high enough. The 2nd group in super 8's really is a nice group that's good to be in for an easy road to the semi's.. I think pakistan did that last time too
 
wohoo and today's game on sabc is live so i can remain on this thread :)
 
I will say though this 20/20 world cup is rather horrible in the way they go about, the commentators are dead boring, the cheer leaders include men and the females are dressed not to impress.

You can tell it is in england. That guy on supersport who looks at his page every flippin 2 seconds is annoying :p
 
Yip,need to lose by less than 25 dutchies.I reckon they cud make maybe 140,so need to keep pakis down to 160 or so.

Ye I agree!!
The girls are :sick: even IPL girls braved the cold! And that dancing with the stick, dumb Brits!
The music is pretty lame although yesterday seemed better than the other games...

Was ours the same? IPL was really good, maybe they set the bar higher?
 
so far so good.. seems the pakistani players had kellogs this morning.. ;)

No they just made it glamorous where as the poms seem to like their boring BS.

Pro 20 is excitement, nothing about this world cup makes me excited if anyone understands what i mean, everything from the coverage, commentators, cheerguys/girls is down right boring.
 
Its amazing to see how terrible the "lesser" teams fielding is.. its shocking. They fumble almost every time the ball is hit to them, drop catches.
score update : 94-2 off 12 overs
 
hope the dutch can pull it through! would be awesome... aus/pak out of the world cup, in the "preliminaries".... SCWEEET !!!!
