ICC World T20 2009 : Discussion Board + Let's Choose One Team

[aashaka_gandhi]

we sure r too reach super eight.....with matches against Bangladesh & Ireland.....still u never kno since its 20-20...

yes we shud b cheering for INDIA - ......to win the world cup again....

obv we all r gonna watch it......

[Rameshjeee]

We can never tell who's gonna win the cup, but India has a very good chance to defend it...Lets see....unk:

The good thing is we do not need to choose a team. I hate to choose between CSK and DD.

The Only thing which is against the Indian team at this moment is the fatigue of players and minor injuries. After such a long IPL, all Indian players are tired. Moreover, Our deadly opening partnership - gambhir and sehwag, is still looking out of form. Most of key Aussie players are fit and fresh as they didnt play IPL. Let's see.

also our bowlers aint doing tht well.....

today i read both ishant sharma n zaheer khan are injured

[Rameshjeee]

India begin their campaign with the warm up match against the Black Caps (Kiwis). Let hope that the Men in Blue bring back the cup.

Here's my Indian team for the T20 WC 2009

1. Sehwag
2. Gambir
3. Raina
4. Yuvraj
5. Dhoni
6. Yusuf Patan
7. R Sharma / R Jadeja
8. Irfan Patan
9. Harbhajan
10. Praveen Kumar
11. R P Singh

Its a pretty balanced side.
Irfan/Bhaji/Praveen are no mug with the bat.
Yusuf/R Jadeja / Yuvraj are no mug with the ball.

Reason for not picking
ZaK: Not sure how fit is he.
Ishant: Had a terrible outing at IPL 2009.

Rohit Sharma will be the default choice. R.Jadeja can fill in some spots in case of some injuries.

He will definitely be in the starting 11, unless there are any injuries. His performance was not bad in IPL, It was the team which played bad as a whole.

I hope india loose to kiwis..Ooops don't kill me, just superstition... Last time also we lost to kiwis and we won the world cup

[aashaka_gandhi]

uhmmmmm yep we did.....but maybe this time we should jus win all the matches .....against all teams????? but this year most of the teams have become PRO's in 20-20 format......

The concerns which i expressed earlier are coming true.

Zaheer and Sehwag were injured today. Yuvi is suffering from food poisoning. In warm up matches, 13 players are allowed in a team. Dhoni wanted to play 13, but we had only 12 fit players. This situation is really bad. I just hope that all our 15 players get fit before the start of the main matches.

B.t.w, next warm up match for India is against Pakistan on Wednesday. It will be a good contest.
