Pick your WC 2009 T20 Semi finalists

[Tigers_eye]

Final four teams.

Australia, SA and India in paper should be a shoe in. Who ever wins between Pakistan vs England would have the upper hand for the forth spot.

+++
This is T20, so all bets are off.

Please vote only four teams. Not your favorite teams but those whom you think have a realistic chance of getting in to the final four.

Then post your final teams here with whom the ultimate champion.

[Nafi]

What the hell, Bangladesh are way better than England and Pakistan, we will make the semi finals.

Thank you so very much. That means between Aus, Ind, Eng and SA only two team can qualify. :)

BD is in heavens group, NZ, Pak, SL/WI. We are in, woohoo. I feel sad that we will not meet Ind in the semis.

[MohammedC]

India wont qualify for the semi's. And they will blame IPL for their downfall

I'll go with you bro, and there is a bright chance of this happening, no India inshallah.

[Neel Here]

pakistan--- more g warts, if discovered,i saw some one else was scratching too


:lol:

[Purbasha T]

I want to face England in the semis, that's the weakest team possible for us in the semis if we go through, but for that England has to top the group E in super eights, not likely. And other one possibly India and not sure who to pick among Pak, NZ or SL. But whoever meets Ind, I want Ind to win the semi and meet us again in the final, and then get beaten. :-D

Wonderful selection by Asif,,,,,
Ireland, Scotland, Holland and Bangladesh.....

[Imteaz]

It is very tough to predict something about Cricket. Sometimes I say Impossible. Just Guess Autralia, South Africa, India & Pakistan are the 4 Semi Finalist.

[Nocturnal]

BD-SL-Ind-SA

[Murad]

It is very tough to predict something about Cricket. Sometimes I say Impossible. Just Guess Autralia, South Africa, India & Pakistan are the 4 Semi Finalist.

That's impossible. Only two team from Group F can go to semi final. Australia, India, South Africa and England are in same group. Tough group!!

[Imteaz]

That's impossible. Only two team from Group F can go to semi final. Australia, India, South Africa and England are in same group. Tough group!!

Ohh.....Than Newzealand / West Indies / Sri Lanka / England / Bangladesh / Scotland / Netherlans / Ireland can be the fourth one. Exluding.....I dont know actually. It is really tough in cricket to guess something. I fail. Sorry Brothers/Sisters. I was not suposed to post on this thread.

[al-Sagar]

group 1
india

group 2

pak
Bd

And the semi lineup
Bd vs ind
Aus vs nz
Bangladesh will take revenge of the opening day defeat and play aussies in final.
BD losing and runners up

[BANFAN]

Sa, aus, nz, sl

[cricman]

Holland, Bangladesh, Ireland and West Indies

[patriot]

My final teams :

South Africa and India

Scorecard :

South Africa 270 /4

India 70 all out .

[zainab]

India are the favourites, but I think the battle will be between South Africa and Australia, but then anything can happen in 20/20 cricket.
If BDgoes through to the super eight, they have a chance of beating Pakistan and SL.

[Sohel]

1. Bangladesh: IF we demonstrate the ability to learn by applying what we learn in the middle. Meaning: -

> The top order clicks as a cohesive batting unit and avoids typically unforced errors.

> Don't let MaMu bowl death overs.

> Field well.

ON THE OTHER HAND, if the past continues, the net result would be exactly the same.

2A. India: IF GG, Viru, UV and MS consistently deliver 75% of what they're supposed to, Rohit and and the Bros Pathan will do the rest. RP and Ojha would be have to be consistently successful because the cranelike Ishant and borderline chucker Praveen Kumar may not be with just 4 overs each. With Bhaji, you never know.

OR

2B. Sri Lanka: Sana's last dance, Sanga and Mahela's class, and the MMM bowling battery. Mubarak is not one of the Ms, obviously. Then you have reliable guys like Dillu and NuKu ... :)

3. Australia: Abar jigay.

4. RSA: See 3.

Australia will win the title with Symonds, Watson and Mitchell making all the difference.

[Ashfaq]

India wont qualify for the semi's. And they will blame IPL for their downfall

Allah, tumi shono kothata. If India gets booted from S-8, I'll be tha happiest man in BUET.

If this happens, than no need to play, just handover the trophy to us. ;)

[yaseer]

I think Australia or South Africa gonna win this. Srilanka has a outside chance. Yes, India really has chance but I hate to mention that and I want anyone except India to win this. Eventually India gonna fail i know.

I seriously believe if Bangladesh show any charisma in this WC, then Ashraful got to present us another Eid. When Ashraful on fire, Bangladesh is a different team altogether. The ever consistent Sakib is always there for us as well.

[zainab]

I am hoping that West indies will go through to the super eights. Toughest group is Australia, WI and SL, I like SL and WI, but with this equation, either SL or WI will be eliminated.

[Murad]

Huh? Moshkora korlen mone hoi? :confused:

All I said was.. Since India, South Africa, Australia and England are in the same group in the Super-8, only two out of 4 can go to semi. So Its impossible for 3 teams to go as you said in your previous post. :-|

[Roni_uk]

With the current warm up form of SL and PAK. BD can easily beat them in the S8 insallah - assuming we go thr' to S8.

[One World]

I chose NZ, Eng, Ind and RSA. I might be right or wrong.
There is no price to grab so lets see.

[One World]

Well Pakis are the underdogs. They start poorly means they are gonna fight hard.

[zainab]

After watching the way WI played against England, I think they will once again get knocked out of the competition. Mind you, they have beaten Australia in 20/20 matches, dont know about them beating SL, but I am keeping my fingers crossed for SL and the WI.
India is the favourite, but I still think SA will bag the trophy, australia is without Symonds now.
SA is the most awesome team in fielding, their bowling and batting is good.

Would like to see Australia, England and NZ get knocked out.

[Raynman]

As much as my brain says no, I can't help but think we can win 2 out of the 3 (PAK, NZ, SL/WI) in the 2nd round). So I gotta go with BD. NZ is always a bridesmaid and never the bride so they're in.

I'm gonna go with IND and SA on the other side and leave AUS and ENG to their Ashes.

Leave it to SA to choke one more time to India or NZ in the finals.

[BangladeshFan]

Bd needs to improve, we have several players who I feel still havent performed to their potential. If we keep on improving as the tournament progresses, we can get into semis, and from there on who knows?

With SA winning it.

Australia wont even make it to the semis, u'll see
and now symonds gone, big blow

[AsifTheManRahman]

Wonderful selection by Asif,,,,,
Ireland, Scotland, Holland and Bangladesh.....
I wasn't kidding.

[cricman]

Holland, Bangladesh, Ireland and West Indies

:callme:

[bujhee kom]

England is a very gud team!

[BangladeshFan]

now holland beating england, lets hope england beat pak by a big margin and then even if pak beat holland by not that big a margin, holland will be in our group in second round. thats ofcourse assuming Bd will get into second round.:D

[Purbasha T]

Yes. :)

[nahaz]

I think Bangladesh, Australia, South Africa and New Zealand. I'm about to explain why in another thread!

I have logic too.Finally getting hang of thread-making!
