Just realized - is this the first T20 WC without any of the fab 4 since they emerged or at least Crowe labelled them that back in 2013 or whenever?

First ICC event with none of them since 2009

None of them were great T20 bats anyway for mine, Kohli being the best of an average bunch.

Better T20i career than frozen-legged Gayle

 

[straw man]

So we going to get any upsets or not? Smaller teams are competing hard and then falling at the last hurdle.
Netherlands almost beat Pakistan
Nepal can't seal the match vs England
Afghanistan get as close to winning vs SA as is possible to do so, without actually winning

 

[straw man]

It's OK we got one

Kohli's SR was always around that 130-135 vicinity, well below the T20 greats with SRs >150 like AB who played in the same era.

We like about 5 in the last 2 days lol

Doesn't change the fact in the slightest that AB >>>>>> Kohli as a T20 bat along with many others.

 

[Mr Fahrenheit]

Top-2 each group:
(A) India, Pakistan
(B) Australia, Sri Lanka
(C) England, Scotland
(D) New Zealand, Afghanistan

5 out of 8. Afghanistan I had assumed the pitches would be more spin-friendly. WI have been really impressive.

 

[Molehill]

Just myself, @Stefan9 and @centurymaker with all 4 semi finalists. Although, the predicted final of India v England from CM obviously cannot happen.

Who said I was always wrong?

 

[centurymaker]

England messed up by winning that match against New Zealand. Though I did say that Ind-SA is just as likely.

Maybe we gonna see some upsets now. Our predictions can't be this right.

 

[Molehill]

My predictions were largely based on Australia being utterly crap against Pakistan and England comfortably beating Sri Lanka. The rest was pretty predictable. The bookmakers are certainly expecting an SA v India Final.

 

[Hungry Llama]

I wouldn't have predicted England getting to the SF, but looking at how India dispatched the windies, i dont see england getting any further.

 

[SkyBlue]

This is a different England team with Brook playing at #3 which makes them extra dangerous at the top.

It's a huge toss to win in my opinion. Chasing team wins this comfortably.

AB hasn't been clutch in T20 either for SA or for his franchise team (RCB)

India are ahead 60-40. Both teams are equal in batting and indian bowling just ahead in these conditions

Kohli has mos in two WC's. A mom in another WC final plus greatest t20i knock(82* vs pak). Ab did nothing expect samshing **** out of medicore wi attack
