ICC World T20 Bangladesh 2014

[War]

Well it would not surprise me. WIans take the IPL very seriously. I think Dwayne Bravo said he enjoys playing for his country T&T the most, then playing in the IPL and only third for the WI.

Bravo or no windies players have ever said that.

I remember Gayle once claiming that he preferred T20 over Test matches and that he doesnt see him playing Tests for very long

But never remember reading anything about preferring CPL and IPL over country

 

[Markkkkk]

So did I just see a good batting performance from SA or was that 2007 World Cup highlights?

Any idea who 'll win India vs Australia? I think Indians have upper hand. What do you all think? Lets have a discussion on today's game.

Bresnan should have batted ahead of jordan. Jordan just wasted lot of deliveries took 14 balls to score 16 were Bresnan smashed 17 of just 4 balls

Dernbach should be kicked out of the team and never be allowed to play for England again! Even Ishant Sharma is better than him

 

[Parmesh killer]

People always underestimate Indian bowlers. Dernbach has proved that Indian can be better than forgieners.

 

[SWITCHHIT]

India is gonna win(self belief)

 

[Parmesh killer]

Good to see your confidence.

An understatement.

 

[Dipak]

An understatement.

He leaks runs so often! He's been consistently inconsistent and yet he's not removed. As an England fan, that angers me!

LOL, yeah you say that like you know each and every word that a WIan player ever said.

Get your facts right, Bravo or Pollard said this around 2008 - 2010, when they regularly turned down WI commitments to play in the IPL. They regularly skipped WI matches and turned out in the IPL and even went to the extent of turning down central WI contracts so that they would be free to play in the IPL.

From the Cricinfo website on Dwayne Bravo "Profile" Dwayne Bravo | Cricket Players and Officials | ESPN Cricinfo-

"Around that time, his value as a Twenty20 player came into focus, and with several such leagues coming - most prominently the IPL - Bravo chose those commitments over the West Indians ones. In 2010, he, along with Kieron Pollard, turned down a WICB central contract which would require him to be available to play for West Indies at all times. Next year, he chose the IPL over a two-Test home series against Pakistan."

Of course the exact quote I can't be bothered to look up, but their conduct is more than enough proof you need of their preference for IPL over WI. So do look up facts before just saying stuff. Back things up with logic or failing that - with facts.

I do admit that his slower ones were effective but only during the start of his historic career. You need Tymal Mills.

English team is weakest this time. Thanks to bowlers like Dernbach.
