ICC T20 World Cup

Should've kept the spinners on. fecking Gul.
 
Stupid fecking twats. Had a great chance to restrict them to 130-140.

Great last 5 overs from the Windies, 82 runs!! Brilliant hitting. Until then the Pakistanis had done a very good job choking them and keeping the pressure on.

Windies will easily win this, our batting will implode under the pressure.
 
Well this is a fantastic start.
 
Pakistan trying to do worse than New Zealand yesterday. They are on course so far.
 
Brilliant stuff. Stupid Pakistan.

I'll predict an India - Windies final.
 
Shoaib Malik ... hope this is his last game ever.

Everytime you think he's gone, they bring him back! Completely useless, especially if he's not going to bowl.
 
Wow this has turned into a non event. Would have loved if Pakistan turned up. But we never know which Pakistan shows up to be fair. Want Windies to win the whole thing now.
 
Pathetic batting. As expected, the batsmen have imploded.
 
Narine is quality. Fantastic spell.
 
Brilliant Windies. Pakistan's batting was abysmal. The last 5 overs in the Windies' innings killed any hope we had of a win.

Well at least this depressingly dismal performance is getting me in the right mindset for the Bayern game :(
 
Meh.. was hoping for another Indo-Pak final.

Anyway I think we will beat SA or should at least. On the other side, SRL are favs... but I have feeling Windies will do it..
India-WI final
 
Have all the teams forgotten how to play spin?

The efforts of Australia, NZ and Pakistan were horrifying. The conditions weren't that tough IMO.
 
SL have made a good score, last 2 overs pushing them to 160. Let's see if the Windies' batting can fire again...
 
Windies go out on D/L. Shame rain interfered, I don't think they would have got the target but you never know with their big hitters.

SL have made it into most of the finals in recent memory: the last T20, the T20 final when Pakistan won it, the last 2 WCs as well. About time they won something...
 
If SL's top order finally get it right I can't see them losing a final against anyone.

SA to win tomorrow for me, as well. I know India have done well, and I know they've done well as a team but I just think SA have the edge, especially if they bat first. Too many gun players in that South Africa side.

But they'll probably choke.
 
I hope it doesn't rain. Getting out of work early.
 
Marlon Samuels is an idiot.
 
South Africa have just handed the game to India. How stupid are you when you win the toss and let India chase?

Rain's predicted for the game so teams need to be careful for DL. It's why both teams wanted to bat first.

The most sensible thing to do with rain around is field first. Let's say SA make 150 and rain strikes after 6 overs of the Indian innings, then they only need to be around 40 runs to win. Makes no sense to bat first in these conditions vs India, especially when they are capable to chase down any total.

I think what happened yesterday with the WI worried both teams. Don't think there'll be any rain anyway today (hopefully :D).

Why the feck is Raina bowling when Ashwin's got 3 overs left?

Because Dhoni would rather get a quick 3 over spell from Raina when SA are under pressure than attack and go for more wickets with Ashwin. Just like he stood up to Bhuvaneshwar and force him to bowl a containing line than stay back and let him swing it.

He did pretty much the same thing against Pakistan. Bought Yuvraj on when Pakistan were struggling - who then went for around 13 runs.

It was a mistake that didn't cost us. This time it has. Terrible decision.
 
They'll score 190.
