20/20 World Cup

[Zondor]

I luv Ricky Ponting and that as he is a North supporter however why would you continue with Brett Lees when he is being smashed to all sections of the Park. Reminds me of Laidleys.

 

[Zondor]

Brett Lees is shit. Just getting smashed big time. I blame Andrew Hilditches.

 

[Zondor]

Chris Gayle has just inserted his bat up Brett Lees' crack.

 

[Alan_Shore]

This is a great over. Brett Lee = can keep it tidy.

It was simply smashing. Cricket is the winner.

 

[arden st army]

Did anyone see the Netherlands win.
Amazing that no one was backing up the ball.

 

[Giveadogabone]

India Ireland Bangladesh group 1
Aust West Indies Sri Lanka group 2
so the top 2 from each round go through to the next round, whats with India getting a free pass and the Aussies getting shafted.

Well it went to the script, with the Sri Lankans smashing us out of the tournament.

So bloody predictable, going right back to selection and us choosing a team which in no way reflected our best Twenty20 players from the IPL.

We instead chose plodders like Brett Lee and others who've done bugger all in this form of the game.

Pox team, pox result. Onto the Ashes preparations now!

I've said before and I'll say again - we need three separate selection panels. The people picking the ODI team and the 20/20 team have NFI about these forms of the game.

 

[Alan_Shore]

Brett Lee had a pretty good T20 World Cup.

Exactly.

If we are ever going to be serious about these things we should have picked a team for that format.

Brett Lee is no 20/20 player.

 

[Devil Fish]

If Ponting is in Australia's best 20-20 team then I'm not gay. He is one of the all-time great Test & One-Day batsmen but he is no 20-20 batsman.
And Mike Hussey is kidding himself.

 

[Twinkletoes]

Phil Hughes, Brad Hodge, Dirk Nannes, Gilly, Haydos, for starters, all had claims to be in our T20 team, and all would've made an impact. Our selectors are taking the piss, surely!

 

[PopShot]

We had no clue what that Sri Lankan bloke was bowlin surely we could have got some video or somethin.

 

[DarwinRoo]

Exactly.

Brett Lee is no 20/20 player.

How can you truly be serious about a novelty event?

That novelty excuse doesn't fly anymore, 20/20 has been around for a few years now and it's a strong form of the game with TV and the public.

We need to take the 20/20 format seriously.

No we don't because Test cricket is still the main focus of the Cricket Associations.

20/20 is like the Lightning Cup and getting worked up over some game that means nothing in an Ashes year is a waste of time.

Spot on, DR.

Even if one professes to care about 20/20, the whole thing is brought to new heights of stupidity by the Mickey-Mouse structure of the qualifying. How a 'world cup' can have only two qualifying games before a next stage is taking the urine. May as well just toss coins to see who wins.

They could go the other way and have it like the One Day World Cup. Even elephant gestation periods don't go for that length of time.

You're all just upset Australia are out and the Saffas are in.

That's called "stalking" Q, now get outta my front yard FFS

I'm a test cricket old school type mate......hence my coming pilgrimage to the first Ashes Test in Cardiff.......as opposed to my disinterest in the T20 when Aus pick a friggin test lineup to play in it

 

[CrazyQ]

Yep, Test cricket is definitely the best cricket.

Bopara to ton up every innings and England get the Ashes back, how does that sound?

As good as your tip that Brett Deledio would win this years Brownlow.
