The Pakistan squad can be a LOT better.

I guess it need not necessarily be legends like promising Kiwi team

But i feel, Saqi one of the all time great spinners is missing!

YESSSSS!!!
Should get past my group with ease although Pakistan coudl be a hard team to beat!

Kiwis are there Trev! They are in :gundown mood for Champions Trophy! :happy

Rahul Dravid as keeper? That's an interesting one.

 

[Jaztheman]

Everyone is saying how rubbish my pakistan team is but i will be making changes

 

[treva]

When are the fixtures announced Matt?

 

[w3lshrugby]

Rahul Dravid as keeper? That's an interesting one.

Yes, I have used it as a tactic. It means that we can still have a large group of brilliant batsmen, and then have a large group of bowlers. Without having to include Dhoni (who WILL get a go in the next game), I have got 5 batsmen who won't be bowling, and then 6 players who will bowl, 3 of which can score around 25-30, and the other 3 can score 15-20. So all in all, not a bad selection if I may say so myself.
However, a very very very very very very (5 mins later) very tough group! The Aussies are legendary, so are the Windies. If India can get through - naturally, I shall be delighted. The Saffers are also going to provide a very stern test, and we shall have to work hard to try and reach the semi-finals!
If we can beat the Saffers, but we end up knocked out, then it still gives us good momentum going into the Saffer series.

Rhys.

INDIA MANAGER OUTRAGE AT NEWS OF AFFAIR

Indian Manager w3lshrugby has told Setanta Sports News that he is extremely frustrated with the tabloid press in the UK ahead of his departure to India.
The Mirror and The Sun claim that the new Indian Manager has had several affairs behind his wife's back.
W3lshrugby firmly denies these claims and says that the tabloid newspapers should be banned - and that he is thinking of sueing the Mirror, in particular, for saying that he had had 10 affairs with others in the past 2 years!
W3lshrugby, who is flying out to Chennai tomorrow, said that (on his India post) he is delighted to be manager of India - and is looking forward to some nice thrashings in the months to come!
