T20 and T20I cricket prediction and discussion

[Little Mouse]

Even in the super over the batsmen failed them. They did not even goal for the run to chase I think. 5 runs in a super over sounds really disappointing even where the last ball needed 11 runs.

I think Srilankan batsman should change their position to have a better performance. Like as I earlier mentioned, their top order is so worst. Middle order is not so good too. If they re organize the team, they may have a better output.

Changing position doesn't gives up much difference IMO. In short format a batsman lineup consisting of consistent players and a proper tune of aggressiveness is a key to a good lineup.

Right now if I check the Srilankan team, I can only say that they have selected players which are not consistent and have some players who don't have a proper international experience.

The team is inexperience for sure. We get the same impression from Lasith Malinga

We tried our best, but at the end of the day we didn't get what we need. But I'm still really happy with how we did. I think 130 is not enough to win a T20 game, but using two spinners did work. But at the end of the day we couldn't get through. I'm used to these situations and conditions. Now I'm getting too old! (Laughs). I tried my best to show the youngsters how it's done, bowling the variations. I tried the variations in the Super Over, but it didn't happen, Miller batted really well. I always believe people can do something special. I got four wickets in four balls once, so something is always possible."

Sometimes changing position can do wonder for player and Teams, no matter it's 20-20 or 5 days cricket. sharing a small list of the great top openers who used to play in the middle order and some of them even in the lower middle order.

1. Sehwag
2. Jayasuriya (Debuted at number 5 then downgraded at number 7)
3. Mark Waugh (Started as a Middle-order batsman)
4. Chris Gayle (started as number 4 then dropped at number 7)
5. Justin langer
6. Rohit Sharma
7. Marven Attapattu ( He used to bat at number 9)
8. Adam Gilchrist ( Used to bat at number 7)

The team just need to find the right horse and its just a matter of time for every team.

Hey I’ll agree a team should change it’s order if required for the team to be balanced, of the list you have mentioned I remember Sehwag was not a opener but when he got a chance he killed it. Also I remember Jayasuriya and Adam, when they were promoted as openers they set the game on fire. It’s also pertinent to note that current Indian captain Virat, and Ex Captain Dhoni have changed their position for the benefit of the team.

Changing positions will produce greater impact without a doubt, but one thing you have to understand is that everyone who got promoted were aggressive players and they definitely made an impact on being promoted, i would include Sachin along those list when he was made opener in 1994 and he made the biggest impact in the history of cricket as well as Sehwag being promoted as an opener in test, changed test cricket forever.

Today we have packed day to be entertained by cricket.

Let's discuss about them.

South Africa vs Sri Lanka T20I here
South Africa should learn from there last T20. The lower order did not perform well which was nearly costing them to lose the match. I hope today they will get an easy win. They are way better team then current Sri Lanka team.

IPL two match today. We better discuss about them in here: [Now FREE to JOIN] IPL 2019 Prediction Pool and discussion
I have created this topic exclusively for IPL.

Australia vs Pakistan is in the usual topic of-course.

Cheers :-)

Yes, the list is actually very long.

I am not a big fan when Virat change his position tbh. but for Dhoni its all good.

I intentionally didn't mention Sachin because he's in a  different class. and yes you are right about Sachin.

Actually like I mentioned before the list is very long so I only gave a short list of players.

LOL
Seems like everyone forgot about this topic because of IPL hit.

Anyway, let's wake it up :-D

Anyone watching this women t20 between Supernovas vs Velocity. I risked a small bet without knowing the team strength and sided for Velocity :-P

Now they seems lost their key wicket. And odd went up @4 for them :-D

Women's T20? I personally have minimal interest here though I did watch them play earlier when my mom was watching the match and I observed many of these ladies dancing down the track against the spinners. They seem to love doing that.

Among the teams that you mentioned, I would root for Velocity even though they lost their key wicket.

I lost my bet yesterday. The team I picked they needed their opponent not to win by more than 25 runs margin. This was the equation for them to qualify. Unfortunately they exactly did that instead of playing cricket (winning the match).

I was like WTF! Why were not they playing shot while they could go for a win since they had wicket then in the screen I saw the calculation and realized my mistake.

Hilarious. Just checked and observed that Velocity could have easily won this one since they had plenty of wickets. Weird. It seems that both teams will be facing each other once again in the finals. I would bet on Velocity.

Lol this thread still alive IPL betting thread got the all attention.

Same thing going to happen with Cricket world cup thread too?    just checked you already created new thread for World Cup betting  

[Pffrt]

Lol this thread still alive IPL betting thread got the all attention.

But I guess some people will create-
1. Discussion of all matches of India
2. Discussion of all matches of Pakistan
3. Discussion of all matches of X
4. Discussion of all matches of Y

I don't get why people don't be logical. The more people are discussing at one place, the more informative and intwresting it will be. Why people create new thread instead of discussing in existed thread?

Not very surprising. India contributes to more than 80% of the cricket viewership figures (if you add the expats as well) and if you take the TRP ratings for the entire tournament, then IPL will be far ahead of CWC 2019. On top of that the interest in 50 over matches is diminishing, as the younger fans are shifting towards the T20 format.

I’ll agree there’s huge number of Indians watching IPL, however I feel over the years it has become a global tournament. I don’t think it’s fair to compare T20 matches with 50 over matches, as both are different and entertaining in their own ways. When you speak of diminishing interest in 50 overs I feel you’re wrong about it, as the 50 over match between India vs Pakistan in the World Cup will break all viewership record of t20 matches.

Doubt it. The IPL is easily the most popular cricket league in the world currently and even the World cup won't surpass it in terms of popularity. It makes sense since many people don't have the time to watch 100 overs of cricket when compared to just 40 overs. On top of this, IPL is way more entertaining in every aspect.

I am not sure whether the India vs Pakistan match will go ahead as planned. There is a lot of pressure from the Indian public and the politicians for boycotting this match. Personally I am against any such move, but a lot depends on the prevailing political climate and the personal decision of the top players such as Virat and Dhoni.

I would not support such a move too and I think they might go ahead with the match since its been sometime since the terrorist attack and India's surgical strike. The news reports also mentioned that tickets were sold out too which is why it will most likely go ahead as planned.

Well I was talking about our cricketing threads in this forum. that how @Royse betting threads eating all activities

Anyways, Point taken if we talking about 80% figure.. because you are absolutely right

Its interesting debate will try to present my point of view in details.
