ICC T20 World Cup
-
<p>They call the BCs pool the "Pool of Death" ( fuck I hate that cliché ) but so is the other one. I mean SA on their day can quite easily beat the Windies who hammered England, would not be surprised in the slightest if that happened.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Shit this tourney is cool, fucken hating the time zones though, I slept through half the Aussie innings, no chance for this old fluffybunny for a 3am start.</p> -

Back in the day this was the Everest of match fixing, in fact a guy (ed Hawkins) wrote a whole book based on their 2011 WC game. Today it may be different - hope so[/quote]<br><br>
Based on reading that book I can't see a Pakistani win, tho it will be close to make it seem legitimate.<br><br>
Possibly the Indian govt and the Pakistani mafia involved too

<p>It's either that, coincidence or a lack of cricketing intelligence. How many times in limited overs cricket are the Aussies going to let us in a game by slogging out? Even in the World Cup final, Warner got out to a shot he should not have played.</p> -
<p>Yeah the only disrespect Australia are guilty of is disrespecting the game and what's worked for 150 years</p>
<p> </p>
<p>They've had a diet of good paced pitches, and methods where if you hit the ball hard enough to go for 4 or 6 you'll generally score 160 plus BBL and home series.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>It wasn't until it was too late that Smith and co thought along the lines of, we should be nudging it around on this packed, rolled mud square, as evidenced by his after match comments. As it was they nearly pinched the game with 2 overs to go. It required good percentage bat on ball contact, rather than brute force and lavish swinging</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Play them at Wankhede where Eng and SA played and they'll canter to a victory</p>
<p> </p>
<p>No disrespect, just out thought by Kane the Brain :)</p> -

<p>You say that but Pakistan have dropped a spinner to bring in a 4th seamer.</p>

<p>Madness...</p>
