You really think SA has it to win the tournament? We all know they are serial chokers in big games :sick:. And never under-estimate the Australians, it just might come back to haunt you :p

hrm will there be a forum game this yr too choose top 3 teams?
 
Krycor i know this may sound silly hey and i may get a lot of stick here but is there nothing in your life you could cut out to afford dstv?

I mean it is only 500 bucks a month, surely you can find that money and skip a weekend of going out or cut back or something man, i only say this because wow the sport dstv carries is just amazing man. Sure 500 bucks is a lot but think about all the sport you get :p

Most pubs will have the games for sure.
 
1. I am broke.
2. I am unemployed still after graduating exactly a year ago minus 12 days.
3. Even if pt 1 and 2 were not there, i cannot justify R500 on someething like tv, heck if i moved out tomorrow, got paid a lot etc, a tv would not be on the top of my list of thngs to get.. dstv is way down the list.
4. I don't drink.(bar's uhm.. yah not sure they'd want me there if i don't buy anything)
5. Only thing i could possibly cut out is a kidney.. but then thats illegal in SA i believe.

Not good, do you have a degree? You should try your local government, i know City of CT had posts for graduates who could not find jobs and had no work experience, paid about R8K iirc.

Interesting article on the groups and rules of the tournament:

Each team will play the other in its group during the preliminary round and the top two will qualify for the Super Eights. What this means is that either Bangladesh or Ireland, or both, are assured of a place in the second stage, while one of Australia, Sri Lanka and West Indies will crash out after round one, leading to the possibility of another group of death in the next World Twenty20, in the Caribbean in 2010.

Shouldn't that be 2011 as the last one was in 2007?:confused:

Edit1:
Farking hell - WTF happened to the cricinfo site?

The links don't even work in Opera:(

Edit2:
52/2 after 6 overs.

Great start, but things have slowed down now.

Bangladesh not doing too bad at 92/2 after 9 overs. I'm glad to see that they sent the metrosexual flying for 21 off 2 overs :D

122/3 after 12 overs. They doing really well:).

But this is just a warm up game so there isn't as much pressure, I think.


Edit:
Australia 219/6 (20/20 ov)

Bangladesh 133/4 (13.3/20 ov)

Bangladesh require another 87 runs with 6 wickets and 39 balls remaining

If they were chasing 200 I think they were in with a chance. That extra 20 runs is going to cost them. Good effort from them nonetheless. Can't wait for our match against Pakistan :)
 
Oh joy! Didn't realise it started so soon!

Lovely stuff! :D

Well, looks to me like the first possible close game is going to be before ours on Sun 7th, Eng vs. Pak. I think Auz will klap the windies.
