ICC Champions Trophy 2009

[khalek]

I am not sure if NZ can beat Australia but i am sure RSA can beat them because they got Steyn, Ntini, Morkel and their batting line up is also strong...

 

[SaiSrini]

Right now, I dont think India will win even if they reach the final. This 'finals bogey' continues to haunt them forever.

With Mendis, Sri Lanka have a great chance of being contenders. The wickets of Pakistan suit the spinners, and both Mendis and Murali will be lethal.

 

[King Pietersen]

ICC are considering switching to Sri Lanka because of security, that'd make Mendis and Murali even more dangerous

 

[Sureshot]

Because Sri Lanka is a safe haven? Despite the Tamil Tigers being noted as one of the most dangerous terrorist organisations in the world?

 

[khalek]

I am not sure if Pakistan is actually safe for some teams...

Just switch it to India! The TT are bad down there as well, but they seem to like their cricket so they might stay out of it

Wasn't there a series of bomb blasts in Karachi today?

 

[Cricketman]

No idea, all I know was that there was something in Islamabad yesterday (I think).

Holy crap, just noticed that India, Pakistan, AND Australia have been lumped together in the same group!

*Mahendra Singh Dhoni, Virender Sehwag, Gautam Gambhir, Yuvraj Singh, Sachin Tendulkar, Robin Uthappa, Suresh Raina, Irfan Pathan, Praveen Kumar, Rohit Sharma, Dinesh Karthik (wk), Parthiv Patel (wk), Manpreet Gony, S Badrinath, Mohammad Kaif, Harbhajan Singh, Ishant Sharma, Zaheer Khan, RP Singh, Sreesanth, Pragyan Ojha, Piyush Chawla, Manoj Tiwary, Abhishek Nayar, Pankaj Singh, Virat Kohli, Ajinkya Rahane, Ravindra Jadeja, Yusuf Pathan, Murali Kartik.

Kaif.

Other than that, I'm happy with a squad out of those guys. Oh, and Nayar please.

 

[SciD]

Play in RSA so India can win it.

 

[Jit]

we dont have any more chance in this trophy sachin cant do anything all the batsman are youngsters and that doesnt work in a big tourment and it approved in the finals cuz youngsters cant handle the pressure

 

[Leggie]

Yes we do. Why do Indian fans think it is the end of the world just because Mendis owned us :

It was one match and one final. Australia lost the CB series and people were questioning their dominance even in the test series where the West Indies gave them a good run for the money. What happened after that? They won 5-0 in the ODI series to silence the critics. I know we aren't Australia but it's an example how you should put the past behind you and try to change what went wrong rather than contemplating what could have been done in the Asia Cup final to change a disappointing result. Look to the future, don't dwell in the past.
