Who will win it this time around ?

[Shri]

IMO, it's a lottery

Many of India's main players are out of form and only getting a game in the IPL because of quota system

Oz has picked their test team and most dont have a clue how to play the game anyway

Pak have hardly played any games

Ditto Eng

Many of Sa's main players are lucky to get a game in the IPL

WI are a rabble at the moment

Dark horses could be NZ as they have quite a few high high impact players

I am not a poster who responds aggressively to any post that says India is not that good. But, the only players who are out of form in the line up is Sehwag, Gambhir and Yusuf Pathan to a certain etent. The other guys are in good form at the moment.

NZ will win this.

Ross Taylor, Brendon McCullum are just coming into awesome form in the IPL, Jesse Ryder will come good.

Players like Guptill, Oram and Broom will chip in with the bat.

Bowling is a worry, but we do have the best in the business; Daniel Vettori. Hopefully Kyle Mills, Butler and O'Brien will keep it tight and pick up a few top order wickets.

Their is alot of bowlers to choose from with Nathan McCullum, Jacob Oram, Jesse Ryder also being decent.

NZ team:

1. B McCullum
2. Ryder
3. Guptill
4. Taylor
5. Oram
6. Broom
7. N McCullum
8. Mills
9. Vettori
10. Butler
11. O'Brien

Is it just me or has Jacob Oram lost a helluva lot of weight?

[Flem274*]

Any other thoughts on reasons why your respective countries will win gentlemen?

Welcome to the forums btw.

2nd one said newzealand 'll win cuz he's from newzealand

Haha yeah its what I am suspecting, but was interested in any semi-excuses they had.

Nah I summed it up beautifully, thanks for asking though.

Good to see someone as warm and comforting as you on here.

Would have India as favourites but think any of India, SA, Australia, SL and Pakistan could win it. West Indies and NZ are chances to make the semis but can't see them winning it. England, Bangladesh and the rest have no chance

i guess England have chances of winning it too, saw england vs Westindies 3rd ODI
shah & prior were good
so if pietersen gets fit & these 3 fire in t20 championship, they can really 've a good time

[SockMock]

India are pretty bad at T20 tbh.

Your comment is downright nonsensical. You need to cut down on what you've been smoking. Try beating the batting line-up that boasts of Sehwag, Gambhir (even though they out of form, all they need is one match to strike gold), Rohit Sharma, Yuvraj, Raina and MS Dhoni. Bowling looks a bit vulnerable, with Zaheer's injury worries. But RP Singh and Ojha are in good shape, great form. Overall, India is one of the top 3 favorites, if not the favorite, to win the tournament.

And they are the defending champions, too.

[slowfinger]

I somewhat feel doubtful that Pak will go the distance.
If Shahid has fun and doesnt get out for 4 after slogging he can do well as can Akmal, Nazir, Malik, Yousuf and Younus Khan I reckon if some of them play.

[Cruxdude]

I want India to win but the thing that worries me is the over confidence of the team. Sehwag need to go on, 5 ball cameos count for nothing. Others should also understand this. I hope we dont repeat what we did in NZ.
