2007 Twenty20 World Championship

[mattfb]

I wouldn't so confident that we will win it. Like you said we dont have a specialist Twenty20 side and even though we are champs of ODI and Test we might crumble in Twenty20....

 

[Will_NA]

What I envy about Australia is that they could select the exact same squad for a Test Series, ODI series or even Twenty/20 and still thrash everyone else.

 

[mattfb]

Nah cuz we shuffle around the order a lot and we have a few specialist tests/one day players.

 

[RoboRocks]

Yeah but it still may cost Australia Will as their ODI players still don't know a great deal about Twenty20.

 

[Will_NA]

Still, you have several players that are certain selections in each form:

Lee, Hayden, Hussey, Clark, Symonds, Ponting and probably now Tait

That's two thirds of your team.

 

[mattfb]

Dunno abotu Clark in ODI's and not sure about Tait in tests.

 

[Will_NA]

I meant Michael Clarke. Misspelt it

 

[mattfb]

Oh well i agree. Michael Clarke will be a very good Test player and is already a good ODI player but he will get better.

 

[angryangy]

Yeah, I wouldn't say they've thrown away all their specialists, Brad Hodge and Andrew Symonds have pretty brutal records and let's not forget Ponting's innings against NZ. Likewise Tait and Hogg are probably as good at it as anyone Australia could pick. There's a couple of players that probably should have gone, but it's no deal breaker.

 

[Pak_cricketer]

There are 20/20 matches going on in Pakistan. Here's my squad and line-up for the championship.

1.Salman Butt
2.Imran Nazir
3.Mohammad Hafeez/Younis Khan
4.Mohammad Yousuf
5.Shoaib Malik
6.Shahid Afridi
7.Kamran Akmal
8.Abdul Razzaq
9.Shoaib Akhtar
10.Mohammad Sami
11.Mohammad Asif
_________________________________________________________

12.Umar Gul
13.Abdur Rehman
14.Mohammad Hafeez/Younis Khan
15.Rao Iftikhar

Rao Iftikhar is not that bad. Umar Gul isn't 20/20 Matieral, but he will play instead of Sami. Abdur Rehman is really great, well atleast at domestic level. Although his bowling in the ODI games were really good. He might be our left-arm spinner.

well hope Shoaib Akhtar is Fit for the 20/20 world cup

 

[ZexyZahid]

I rather see some players, who have performed in the domestic Twenty20 competition. In that case Nazir and Hafeez should be assured of their places in the team.

 

[Insomniac]

I'm worried about Razzaq's absence from our team... Our team for ODIs or Twenty20 just doesn't look right without him

 

[KBC]

England,India,SA,Aus and a minor team will have a great WC For sure.

 

[madmusician]

Well the England squad is announced at 12:30, and there will be specialists - looks interesting...
