| i have tried to follow, but the highlights are about it for me. Way more skill in the batting is required than meatheads in baseball. |

India needs to win against both England and South Africa I guess, to advance into the next round. We lost to the West Indies yesterday. :sadgreen: |

right now, it's south africas to lose. they've got the best lineup and most consistency. India are hot and cold, Pakistan even more so. West Indies fall into that bracket too. New Zealand are solid if unspectacular, the irish are there and did well to qualify at the expense of bangladesh but have no chance of anything else. England have got a serious case of media-scurvy. Too many jerks around and we've not picked the best squad. Aside from that, Sri Lanka look good too.
I'd be very surprised if the final was anything other than SA vs Sri Lanka right now, but that can quickly change in this shorter form of the game.
We must beat india and the windies to qualify now, so let's get in there. |

heres the thing i have been really out of touch with cricket for over 5 years, and i absolutely love cricket, but i have no idea whats goin on at the moment with this 20/20 , those 50 over games were amazing, anyways hows the scene rite now? im tryin to get back into the game, last i remm Aussie's were the unbeatables, South Africa was my fav team but unfortunately they never won the world cup, and India was always on a winning or a losing streak. I have no idea how 20/20 works except for i know its just 20 overs, and is the regular world cup and 50 over games still around? are gibbis, pollock, rhodes, gilchrist, tendulkar still around?
Ian u a aussie or SA? |

Gibbs & Sacchin are still playing. Rhodes is long gone, pollock about 3 years ago and gilchrist is only playing in the IPL (indian premier league) which is where the money is now.
modern greats (of all forms of the game)
Pietersen (England)
Jayawardene & Sangakkara (Sri Lanka)
De Villiers Steyn, Smith (South Africa)
Chanderpaul (he's 34 now though) & Bravo (West Indies)
Dhoni, Yuvraj, Sacchin (India)
tbh most of the best aussies are now gone. from their unbeatable side they've lost gilchrist, hayden, warne, mcgrath, macgill, martyn and Brett Lee is a shadow of his former self. Ponting is still going but close to the end of his career also. |
