Welcome to Well Pitched :-)
All I sai...Anonymous,<br /><br />Welcome to Well Pitched :-)<br /><br />All I said was that SA will not win the world twenty20. I never said they won't do well, nor did I say they won't win any matches. They always win a lot of matches in world cups, but they always fail at the last few hurdles and I see a repeat here too.<br /><br />For the record, I also said Australia will not win.Qhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13947332468863567271noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3713921718473352259.post-51386404862980779692009-06-14T18:31:25.099+04:002009-06-14T18:31:25.099+04:00if u said SA has little chances of winning, then u...if u said SA has little chances of winning, then u're a loser! they are the best performing team by far! u idiots who think Australia is so great- where r they now?

They lost the first match to WI by a couple of runs ( it included a daft moment when in the last over, Klusener didn't run(!!) when a lofted catch was taken and thus missed the strike for a couple of balls).<br /><br />They then had the rain to blame against NZ , because the target NZ had to chase was revised by DL method and then Fleming hit a century.<br /><br />Inspite of all this, if Boucher had taken a single from the two balls left in the Murali over, in their last match, they would have gone through.<br /><br />Nope, it's not in their genes to win a WC tournament :) and I don't fancy them this year.<br /><br />If all goes well ( I haven't worked out how the tables/teams might pan out),ideally an Ind-Aus final would be good.<br /><br />Now wouldn't that be really rubbing the Brit noses in the dirt. An Ind - Aus final in a T20 tournament at Lords :)<br /><br />Would bring back memories of the 1975/1983 WC for them :) :)Tifosi Guyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12526354308121450394noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3713921718473352259.post-19341711618732973752009-05-31T11:56:47.142+04:002009-05-31T11:56:47.142+04:00Who cares what they think..Time will tell who the ...Who cares what they think..Time will tell who the real heroes are<br /><br />Jumbo<br />http://hitwickett20.blogspot.com/Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3713921718473352259.post-5389445535754368722009-05-31T11:22:26.059+04:002009-05-31T11:22:26.059+04:00Q, like it if he said something - can see some goo...Q, like it if he said something - can see some good ol' fashioned sledging "look, here's the saf skip who can't make his ipl side"Gaurav Sethi https://www.blogger.com/profile/04330224127597873431noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3713921718473352259.post-38973719591434145852009-05-31T08:48:30.139+04:002009-05-31T08:48:30.139+04:00Wasim: Their pace attack is no doubt one of the be...Wasim: Their pace attack is no doubt one of the best, but it lacks variety.. while they're batting maybe better than Australia's but I don't think its better than India's..Qhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13947332468863567271noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3713921718473352259.post-58354781599422952562009-05-31T08:47:29.718+04:002009-05-31T08:47:29.718+04:00Stani: they seem too mechanical..Stani: they seem too mechanical..Qhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13947332468863567271noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3713921718473352259.post-53928116912146270652009-05-31T08:47:02.250+04:002009-05-31T08:47:02.250+04:00Krish: haha, it is man..
