Asia Cup 2008

oh yeah... then that would be an advantage for bangladesh... they might get into semi finals..
khalek added 2 Minutes and 14 Seconds later...

personally i think the final would be india v pakistan again... sri lanka have no chance at all... they only have 4-5 good players in their team and rest are crap... the recent CB series and WI tour proved it all...

The teams have been divided into two groups.
Group A- India,Pakistan and Hongkong
Group B- SriLanka,Bangaldesh and U.A.E

Two teams from each group will go ahead after the First round-robin.
Then the Four teams play each other and the top 2 contest the Finals.

i think sri lanka has a good chance with murli but if they dont pick sanath then its stupid he is in great form

Sanath has been picked.The Asia Cup,Sri Lanka squad has been announced.

 

[SciD]

Sannath should retire and let India win some matches.

 

[icyman]

Even if when he played in Aus,India won the matches.So,he is no real threat.
India are the clear favorites here.

Tendulkar out, so Dhawan may get a chance.

He was in no form then. Now hes back in form. :crying :crying :crying

 

[icyman]

He is,but the others are not

Talking of the team,with Tendulakr out,it will be a repeat of the T20 World Cup team.I expect Yusuf Pathan in there,but as .Mob says Dhawan wont be a bad option.

Shikhar Dhawan was one of those 2004 u-19 blokes who never made it to the big stage then.I remember him playin some fantastic innings in that WC.

 

[Cricketman]

Squads released tomorrow.

I was watching a thing on Neo and they're all going crazy about Yusuf Pathan.

I say Badrinath.

Team India

Mahendra Singh Dhoni (capt and wk), Yuvraj Singh (vice-captain), Robin Uthappa, Gautam Gambhir, Virender Sehwag, Rohit Sharma, Suresh Raina, Yusuf Pathan, Irfan Pathan, Sreesanth, Ishant Sharma, Praveen Kumar, RP Singh, Piyush Chawla, Pragyan Ojha

No KKD-thats a pity.
No Munaf-thats good.

 

[India2011]

Too many sloggers. I'd take KKD instead of Yusuf Pathan.

 

[Jit]

Too many sloggers. I'd take KKD instead of Yusuf Pathan.

lol they picked by looking at 20-20 and india gonna loose hope selectors learn a lesson

 

[icyman]

Too many sloggers. I'd take KKD instead of Yusuf Pathan.

Yes,KKD ought to have been there.In place of whom,I do not know,but he would have added strength to the batting.

 

[Leggie]

Yeah, but Yusuf can bowl. I suppose KKD can keep, but I doubt he will need to.

 

[.Mob]

Yusuf is a hitter, and a hitter only. He is never likely to be consistent with his big hitting, plus it's stupid to pick a ODI squad after looking at 2020 performances.

 

[Leggie]

Yusuf has showed he can 'Big Hit' against the best bowlers in the world. Surely he can combine that with consistency.

 

[SciD]

What has Ojha done to be there? Why is Misra ignored? He is better than Chawla.
