Final Analysis

Umar Gul, the leading T20 wicket taker of all time and the leading wicket taker in both previous T20WC's won't be present in the Caribbean this time round for team Pakistan.



We here at BBK have been vigorously building upto Pak's defence of the ICC World T20 ever since the conclusion of Pak's humiliating winless tour down under and the ICC U19WC in January. Now we are just days and hours away from the much awaited fun, can't wait! Let the action commence!

CSK are crowned 2010/IPl3 champions after beating MI on Sunday 25th April in the IPL final: http://www.cricinfo.com/ipl2010/engine/current/match/419165.html

MS.Dhoni has his hands on the IPL trophy! One just wonders if he can do the same come 7:00 GMT on 16th May on Caribbean turf for ICC T20WC?! Certainly our BBK audience doesn't feel shy to think he can as India are currently winning the poll, just a few days to go before the close! RCB meanwhile captured the 3rd place spot and therefore will feature in this year's CLT20 which is scheduled to be staged in RSA following a recent announcement on the matter.

Anyhow, I don't wish to go into the details of the Modi saga! Leave me and us out of that garbage for now! However, I do wish to update our viewers on the team sheets and gossips going into the global cricketing event!

The dashing dangerous free scoring right handed opener, Virender Sehwag who I actually labelled as India's gun player for the event has been ruled out and his replacement will be the CSK opener, Murali Vijay! I have seen some of him during the ongoing IPL season and he comes across as someone who is a good striker of the ball and has got a wide range of shots and is equally capable against the slower and quicker men! This is a big blow for team India, but in the same sense a perhaps "gain in disguise" as some followers have highlighted.

Pakistan were being the laughing stock in the headlines once more when the chairman of the board changed the decision to select left arm sensation, Irfan despite the matter of fact being the coach, captain and more importantly chief selector had announced him as replacement for injured Umar Gul the day before. Once more this questions the purpose and authority of the chief selector as Aamer Sohail, former Pakistani opener and Kamran Abbasi, Pakistani cricket writer have outlined and questioned at the encyclopaedia of cricket, cricinfo at the following links. I totally agree with the two gentlemen!

http://blogs.cricinfo.com/pakspin/archives/2010/04/who_is_pakistans_chief_selecto.php#more

Certainly, PCB seems to be a "one man show" unfortunately and such interference from Ijaz Butt needs to be questioned fully. The other selection was approved and that was of Mohammad Sami, the Karachi fast bowler who captained the Dolphins in this year's RBST20 Cup to the final where they were beaten by the invincible Stallions! Sami impressed throughout the competition and has had a successful first class season too! Abdur Rehman, was the replacement following the disapproval of Iran's selection for the injured Yasir Arafat, the Sussex star who holds the record for the most T20 wickets at all major levels. He (Abdur) is a decent bowler, however was he really necessary and the best option available? Many feel he wasn't and I totally agree here. He is a winning Stallion team member nonetheless, the team that has won the Pakistani domestic T20 competition for 5 consecutive years running, formidable!





The opening game of the ICC T20WC promises to be a cracker! Sri Lanka and NZ are two evenly balanced sides. I feel the match will be decided on NZ's batting against the Lankans potency and variety with the ball!

@Maz, By far Sri Lanka is not looking good but they can do well. And will IPL help India or will there players have fatigue playing so much cricket?

@HR I doubt if RSA will make it to the Final they are real chokers hehehe.

@Babar, WI? are you sure? Home advantage may be?

Abdullah said...

IPL shall help India I feel rather than not.Match practise is essential and highly helpful under most circumstances!

Babar Naveed said...

@ Mudassar: i feel Windies will benefit from their T20 suited nature of batting.. in Kieron Pollard they have found a player who can finish matches for them. previously they were too much dependant on Gayle Sarwan and Bravo.. but they lacked a finisher in the end. in KP they have got one.. not many teams have layed T20 in caribean so Windies have a slight edge on that fact

Mudassar @ CricketVibe said...

@maz yea right match paractice is important and Pakistan is lacking in even there paractice matches are against week sides. Frankly I m more worried about match against Bangladesh rather than Austrlia lolz Pakistan is bad starter u knw :P

@Babar, well probably right and KP is a very important player for them but Gayle is not in a good form they really need some form from him. What about there bowling unit? Lacking spin bowling?

Babar Naveed said...

i am hugely disappointed of Gul getting injured. he was an excellent bowler at the depthand was difficult to get away. i call him Pakistan's Mr consistent in T20 cricket. his replacement Mohammad Sami no doubt is a good bowler but to fill Gull's boots. its because of Gull's excellent bowling that Pakistan have conceeded low scores and defended low scores as well. we will surely miss UMAR

Abdullah said...

Mudassar Ijaz

Historically speaking, its not a bad thing if we start slowly/poorly you know... recall 1992 and 2009.... we worked our way up the ladder... and somehow from zero became hero!

Abdullah said...

Yes historically we will miss him Babar, but on recent form not really!

I still believe even with his absence and the imposed bans on certain players Pak can go the distance and re-live glory come 16th May!

Babar Naveed said...

@ mudassar: for sure Gayle needs to fire, alot depends on him
they have got suleiman benn a left arm orthodox spinner who os quite impressive and quite often opens the bowling in T20'S

Babar Naveed said...

@ maz: u r right we have got the firepower to defend our title but Gull's absence will be missed..

Abdullah said...

Spot on Babar mate!

Babar Naveed said...

IPL doesnt maje much of a dofference bcoz none of Pakistani player participated in IPL 2 and yet we went in to win the cup.
BTW i am very much impressed by Murali Vijay

Abdullah said...

They (WI) also have Miller, left arm spinner

Abdullah said...

Yup on Murali Vijay. It will be interesting to see how he goes at int level!

Babar Naveed said...

yep Nikita Miller is also a good spinner..
as far as M.Vijay is concerned, think guy is international material.i hope he does well
has a godd technique and hits the ball very hard.

@ Muddassar

SriLanka will again be a serious contender they have an equally good spin attack their pace bowlers are also good in Dilshan they have an explosive opener and in the middle order they have some of the best batsmen against spin bowling in the world. So don't discount them yet.

@ Babar

West Indies on paper are quite good but they are a very inconsistent and unprofessional team. Gayle is over rated. Unless their senior batsmen show some concistency they won't cause any serious problems for other major teams.

Maz

India has enough batting firepower for 20 overs it's their bowling which will let them down.
Australia got beaten by Zimbabwe today their much coveted bowling conceded 174 runs. It was a warmup match their main bowlers didn't bowl their full quotas so things might pan out differently in WC matches but the fact that their spinners gave away so many runs and their pacers couldn't take wickets on regular interval will be a source of concern. There's an opportunity for Bangladesh, they have good spinners only if their batting holds up they will cause serious problems.

Abdullah said...

Interesting stuff from Zimbabwe, what a game and what a win. I think this should give a lot of hope and confidence for both Pakistan and Bangladesh to knock them out in the preliminary stages once more I enthusiastically say! However, I’m sure they will come back strong.

Pakistan actually play Zimbabwe on the 29th I think in the last warm up game before their tournament opener against Bangla on Saturday!

Abdullah said...

Pakistan beat the Windward Islands yesterday by over 60 runs in their opening warm-up game! Hafeez scored a half century and bowled very well too with figures of 4-0-1-16!

Abdullah said...

We are now less than 2 hours away from the action! The adrenaline is pumping, the excitement is heating up!

Pakistan lost to Zimbabwe yesterday, a shocking result for the Stanis! Prosper Utseya, the offspinner and skipper of Zimbabwe team caused the damaged with exceptional bowling figures of 4 overs 4 for 15 runs, brilliant stuff from him!

HAMMAD AZAM MUST PLAY FOR PAKISTAN IN THE NEXT MATCH NOW... the others are not performing i.e. Salman, Khalid and Sami! He is the best option in the given squad whom Pakistan should turn to!

Abdullah said...

DIL DIL PAKISTAN/HUMSE HAI YEH ZAMANA... C'MON LETS DEFEND OUR TITLE :)

I am right behind my country, thats the spirit!

Abdullah said...

NZ beat Sri Lanka off the penultimate ball of the game in the opening game, what a wonderful start to the competition, tense match indeed!

Abdullah said...

Nathan McCullum there hero with that finishing maximum strike of Lasith Malinga, under pressure he delivered!!!!!!!!

Jacob Oram's back to back sixes of Mendis was the "turning point" of the game I feel.
