I am tempted to do my own T20WC on here.

Proper seeded draw, knockout rounds none of this super eight nonsense.

LET'S GO CANADA

If Canada wins the tournament I will wear this in the streets...

Bold prediction: Canada will not win the tournament

Atleast I ll have US to support with India. Hoping to go see Us and India matches if they are played around here.

India matches will be money grabbing business. I am thinking India Pakistan match going for a minimum of $500.

The India Pak group is well balanced , as per the ICC. Really hoping it turns out to be a Group of Death and both crash out in the 1st round itself.

I think India games are in the US. I am sure they will host a semi final there too ,just to cash in on the USD valuation of the ticket

I'm only surprised that India and Pakistan's group doesn't have Afghanistan in that group feels so fixed and designed to maximise its potential audience.

Although I expect they would have a chances to upset one of them qualifying for the Super 8. So they've picked Ireland as the second-worst test side at T20is.

They should just have had the Asia Cup in the USA and invited the two North American sides instead of Asian associates.

Are the groups official?

 

[MrDependable]

So ICC gave India, Pakistan, Australia and England some practice matches ahead of the Super 8s, huh?

Yah, they've done it for everything else: Bangladesh Sri Lanka, Australia England. Ireland and Afghanistan could easily have been swapped

Nepal
Hopefully beats
Bangladesh and Srilanka

Just ran a random draw of the 20 teams. Even the ICC has infected the website I used with the need for Pakistan v India and T20 Ashes.

Group 3 looks amazing though.

The entire ICC model is about making India reach the KO. Then on, basically the World event begins.
