ICC World Cup T20 - England - 2009

YUVI is the best timer of the ball in whole t20, I think 1down wld be gr8 for him

me too with pool B

 

its going to be india or pakistan

 

Dhoni is not playing his natural game friends.He should do something about his batting.

 

Yes you are right! He just come takes singles and doubles and hit 2-3 fours and sixes and make 30-40 runs but we need fast innings from him like he did in past.

 

However far Ireland progress in this tournament, they have done enough to confirm their standing as comfortably the best Associate. The moment they qualified for the ICC World Twenty20, they had Bangladesh in their sights and duly knocked them aside on Monday with a comprehensive six-wicket win. Subdued celebrations followed, perhaps owing to their increased belief of challenging Test nations, but moreover the realisation that the next hurdle will be far trickier to leap.
That they are facing an injured New Zealand can only help, however. Jesse Ryder has been ruled out with severe pain in his groin, and remains in hospital suffering from "a significant infection", while Ross Taylor's hamstring has forced the selectors to rest him. Daniel Vettori, the captain, continues to recover from a shoulder niggle and may not play, though James Franklin ought to return after his knee injury. This puts tremendous pressure on the support players to perform immediately; if they have even one eye off the ball, they will pay. Ireland may be an Associate, but unlike Scotland they fear no-one.

Even I am concerned with his over-cautious approach. He seems to be always looking for just one or two's and not fours and sixes!

Wonder if it is due to the burden of captaincy or by cutting his hair short, he has also cut short his aggressiveness!

I agreed, But at least one has to stand on the crease right, there is a chance to loose wickets, if he goes too fast.

Yuvraj can do that he may feels like. . as well as yusuf is there to make some quick runs!! Dhoni is playing slowly but making partnership, that's important!!

 

Well maybe i am off topic but did u guys see the press conference where dhoni gave a strange reaction for this first time.. i seriously have a feeling there is a big internal problem

 

Those reactions are for the press people who blamed dhoni for viru's problem.

Dhoni managed well i guess!! Hope they will bring back the cup once again!!

 

Do you think that he needs to increase his hairs? lol

 

Yeah May be helpful for his batting.

 

Well, lets talk about the current match now.
Newzealand going good as they have lost just 2 wickets in 12 overs with 124 runs.
Ireland going to lose it easily.

Well yes it's now big issue and Sehwag also asked a question as he told that he was not fit but yet to select in team.

 

198 total and 199 is the target

 

It's a big total.

 

It would be big target and New Zealand will secure their place once they win with big margin as they surly gain good run rate today.

 

Now it not possible to reach to the target.
IRE 67/5 in 10.2 Overs.

 

Do you really think it was possible? Lol

 

IRE 115/10 in 16.4 Overs.
NEW ZEALAND won by 83 runs.

 

A spate of injuries forced New Zealand to call up Aaron Redmond to their World Twenty20 squad at short notice and throw him into action straightaway against Ireland in their Super Eights' opener at Trent Bridge. He answered their call with an astonishing innings, piercing gaps in the infield with pinpoint accuracy to blast 63 off 30. His half-century and cameos from Scott Styris and Martin Guptill ensured that a weakened New Zealand did not slip on a banana skin and completed a comfortable 83-run victory.
