T20 World Cup 2012

I think is's the right time to introduce someone who can hit it big for Sri Lanka,
We got Thissara perera but that isn't enough,
B Rajapaksha
S Pathirana
AK Perera
are the best solutions available.

I think it is you who needs to study and gain some knowledge in cricket not me. Sri Lankan pitch are flat and helps spinners mainly. That is the reason they have so many spinners in their domestic cricket with bowling average of 15 to 20.

I also heard people saying the same thing in 2007 WC but India end up winning that WC. So predicting before WC has even started is not an intelligent thing to do.

flat were the pitches in Bangla, where Kohli made 183*. These are slow and low pitches, not ideal for batsmen, especially for Non SC teams.

^very true

It is actually the Bangladesh pitch which are slow and low. That track of Shere Bangla at Mirpur has traditionally been slow and low.

Mathews+Perera isn't enough? Who would you replace in the current team?

 

[sattar]

^^I think they would trade gayle or pollard from west indies

 

[Dare]

Well speaking of the West Indies I think they have a side to win the tournament. With enough all rounders and big hitters and of course Chris Gayle there is enough firepower there to get them to the semis at least.

I only wish that they would play two spinners. Im not sure if Samuels is in the plans for T20 cricket but if the WI play only one spinner then all they would have is Gayle as the 2nd option.

Mathews+Perera isn't enough? Who would you replace in the current team?

Mathews? he is not in good form, whenever he tries to hit it big, he gets out.
I would replace Chandimal and Sanga with Any of the player mentioned and Kusal Janith(WK). I'm not very sure about Sanga but I think he should retire from T20 and let the youngsters jump in)

 

[Ahmad94]

^he has the highest average in T20I for Sri Lanka.

The thing about Sangakkara and Mathews is that they provide balance to the XI with their all-round skills. It's the specialists around them who need to get better I think, not these 2, who are probably the 2 most talented players SL have.

 

[Ahmad94]

^very true. Players like Chandimal need to step up. Why is thrimmane playing so low down when he can build an innings

 

[Satan666]

Meh! The Lankans dont have a strong side at all, theyre the hosts nevertheless they will compete well I am sure. People shouldnt negate the Aussies they are still a strong T20 side and can surely lift the cup.

I am mostly sure India may not even win a chance................

Yuvraj Singh is gunning to make himself fit for this tournament (Source: Indiatimes Cricket). If Yuvi is fully fit and plays in this tournament, India's chances would be greatly boosted. His big hitting prowess and his handy left arm spin and more so on the slow and turning surfaces of Sri Lanka would be mighty handy.

Without Yuvraj, India's chances are 50%, but with Yuvraj, India's chances jump up to 80%. But hope Yuvi doesn't force himself into a premature comeback. After he terms himself fully fit, he should play enough domestic cricket to get into match form.

 

[Ahmad94]

Its only 20 overs. ANy team can win. It is not so much of quality as quantity in this format

If any team can win then the ICC should disbarn the T20 cup and we as fans shouldnt be wasting our time followin it and posting on threads like this, furthermore sponsors should also pulled put?

Its a sport mate.

Got it?

Well I do agree with you, with Yuvraj India certainly may be able to put up a fight but also as you alluded to he shouldnt be drafted into the senior team so fast, it may be severly detrimental to his playing future.
