Close? When was that?


______________
AFAIK Pak top order will be better with Farhat out. And Whatmore is a really successful coach..hope he does well for Pak.

I am talking about the Asia Cup genius, where we lost close games to both India and Sri Lanka.

Moving on. BPL shouldnt really be a decent standard but we have always struggled with finding an opening pair, and all the main contenders where involved in the BPL, so it makes sense to pick the best out of them? (Thats if he was the best).

Riaz needs this tournament to go for him. Cheema isnt anything special, and Gul needs to get back into rhythm. Not too concerned about the fast bowling, knowing Pakistan we might just throw a random fast bowler who might end up being the player of the tournament.

I am tipping Sri Lanka to be the favorites to win this tournament. I have a quirky and bad feeling that India will lose out on the final spot and that it will be a Pakistan vs Sri Lanka final. Hope I'm wrong. I feel we must be mentally scarred of the Australia tour, and the decision to not make sweeping changes could hurt us. And with the old man Fletcher around, I dont see our prospects changing too much.

Tournament is in the subcontinent. SL are unlikely to be in the finals. Without Murali their spinning department looks too weak.

They still have Dilshan though.

You are compaing Dilshan and Murali???

 

[Addy]

We have some excellent spinners in the hut, however it all comes down to the batsmen that how well they can tackle them, and IMHO Srl and Ind batsmen are much better players of spin bowling than Pakistanis.

Dilshan? What can he do?

 

[Paki007]

atleast he can pick up pakistani top order

 

[Aalay]

Dilshan? What can he do?

He is the new strike bowler for Sri Lanka.

 

[SLICKR392]

He is the new strike bowler for Sri Lanka.

Since when? He is a good part time bowler but your reply to replacement of Murali din't make sense. :|

If this was outside the SC then, yes, but since this tourney is played in the SC it's hard to look past India as the favourites to win. Since SL is on a good run of form i'd place them second, but whoever wins the Ind v Pak match will lift the trophy!

 

[Cricketman]

I think Pakistan are strong contenders at this point. It will be interesting to see how India fares back in the subcontinent and on some more comfortable pitches. I think we will do a lot better than the recent tours abroad.

End of the day..Bangladesh win run away with the Trophy

Lol I am liking the fact of how pessimistic some Indian fans are about their teams chances just like the Pakistani ones
