ICC announces World Twenty20 2010 groups and venues

[Cricketman]

WTF. Another one? Seriously? One every other year is bad enough!

F this noise.

 

[McLOVIN]

damn Bangladesh! they got a free ticket last time, and they lost it. now..

 

[Master Khan]

Can't believe we will only have one year to enjoy our win..it should be every 2 years:

 

[McLOVIN]

Looks like Bangladesh took Ireland's spot. Surely the Irish must automaticly qualify.

 

[McLOVIN]

^ in that case, so does australia...they didnt win crap either, may be Netherlands should be there in place of them huh?

 

[OnlyClarkey]

England play the Windies.. wow thats a new one =/

 

[Left_Hander]

Wait, why have we got two in 2 years? Wasn't it meant to be every 2nd year?

Overkill to the max. And why have the Windies got it? They failed miserably in 07. Let the bloody Aussies have something.

Agree 100%. Even if the 50 over World Cup and the Twenty20 World Cup are in the same year. You basically summed up my feelings about this.

Australia last held a World Cup in 1992 and supposedly the next one we host is in 2015. Talk about a long gap! Especially with some countries hosting events all the time.

I am not saying Bangladesh and Australia should have to qualify either. Its just strange the way they have done it.

Making it to the second round should be automatic qualification and as it is now all test playing nations are in to.

Yeah they've obviously changed the seeding rules. I prefer this way, since there is no group of death based on what happened 2 years ago (which is what happened for this years tournament).

 

[aussie1st]

Well not too bad considering our early exit. Still will be the group of death but not as dangerous compared to this year where we had the runners up and semi finalist.

Still winning the comp didn't help Pakistan much they ended up in the hardest group and SL the same. Surely they should have been in one of the qualifying teams group.

 

[piriyanth]

Thank God Australia's not in the tough group.:happy But we can never underestimate Bangladesh so Australia can't get too overconfident.

 

[nz0003]

NZ will lose to Zimbabwe, you heard it here first.

 

[SciD]

If everything goes as per script all 8 top teams will be in Super 8. Dont see anything wrong with that. Not too bothered about Saffers being in our group. We play better against fancied sides rather than those which are given no chance.

 

[Aditya]

Groups look solid to me india doesn't have easy group becasue southafrica team is so strong but they can win from qualifing team and may they beat southafrica which they will but pakistan has tough group dont no with them but surely 2010 will be much better then 2009
