I said the Taylor thing in the T20 wc and neither of them batted IIRC

gvenkat · 24-12-2010, 09:59 AM

Seriosly this world cup cannot be predicted. In reality the WC starts from the QF stage. You can win 5 games have a bad day on the QF and you are out.

I would stay out of this predicting business.. It's actually a stupid format..
