ICC World T20 India 2016 - March/April 2016

I'd put Jos Buttler ahead of Dhoni.

Yeah the number 6 position was the most difficult. Just felt that Dhoni has a bit more know how in pressurised situations.

Rahane is a better opener than Rohit, even if not as flashy. By making Rohit open, you are basically cutting Rahane out of the side because he can't fit anywhere else. Rohit can fit at No.4, Rahane can't. If Rohit struggles to get going as an opener, he can eat up a lot of dot balls. Rahane, if he struggles, will do a better job than Rohit in stealing singles and rotating strike. For Rahane fans, they would hope Rohit fails as opener so that Rahane can find a permanent place in the shorter formats.

Wel said Sai, exactly my point. Rohit should come in toward 13-14 over and try and smack the ball out. Rewind to 2007 and watch his innings versus South Africa where he absolutely smashed them everywhere. Rahane ,on the other hand tends to accelerate the innings and at the same time keeps the rate up. I'd still vouch for him as an opener ahead of anyone else.

Sharjeel, Sami receive Pakistan call-up for Asia Cup, World T20 - Sport - DAWN.COM
The selectors were going to get killed if they didn't pick Sharjeel after his century last night.
I'd preferred Junaid over Sami, but that idiot Afridi kept him out of the Peshawar side for 3 matches, so it was impossible that the selectors picked him.

Playing in subcontinent you can't kee Rohit Sharma out. Even in none considering his recent form.

2016 WT20 ticket process makes life hard for overseas fans wanting to travel to India | Cricket | ESPN Cricinfo
The ticket-selling process has been far from world-class. Well done, BCCI

 

[icyman]

The ticket process is pathetic. For India games, you have to enter into a lucky draw. Ideally, it's always first come first serve. The ICC needs to take a serious stock of this situation.

Graeme Cremer injured during a warm up match against the West Indies and will now miss the entire tournament, this is a massive blow for Zimbabwe. Afghanistan have already beaten us home and away, Hong Kong have also beaten us albeit in a warm up match back in 2014 and Scotland...well i'm not too worried about them but yeah it's not going to be easy for the Zimbos to qualify.

We also have Jongwe and Madziva out injured but they're nowhere near as big a loss as Cremer.

BCCI tells Himachal CM not to politicise hosting of India-Pakistan World T20 match in Dharamsala | Cricket | ESPN Cricinfo

It is absolutely stupid to come out with such statements days before the game. If it was the case, they had all the time in the world to state it earlier. Also, the ticket process by the BCCI has been the worst! Earlier India hosted many ICC events with relative ease but this one seems rather unprofessional.

 

[bigred]

Over the past 12 months, it's looked like Sri Lanka and Pakistan were falling and Bangladesh were closing the gap. It seems likely, from the Asia cup so far, that we could be going into a new era of Asian cricket, where Bangladesh are challenging India for top spot. If they get through the prelim group, they'll be tough to beat in the main draw.

New t20 kit the blues!

Wow. Zimbabwe lost to an Indian state team in the 1st warm up match. That does not please the eyes.
