Cricket 20/20 World Cup 2014

The_President

Thought i'd start a thread for the cricket lovers out there.

Who do you think will win? I'm gonna go for an outsider in Pakistan.

Tourno starts today with Bangla v Afghanistan and then Nepal v Hong Kong (i think)

England 8th favourites as far as bookies concerned.

I used to work and play cricket with with an Aussie (of Dutch extraction) who had played semi-pro cricket in Holland, he was surprised at how good was the standard of players and competiton, and this was 20+years ago .. still a surprise though, Holland beating Ireland

Didn't Holland beat England in a T20 games a few years back?

they did .. I believe that the ill fated Peter Roebuck captained an 'experimental' England side

Good to see Nepal win, and HK beat Bangladesh... they really are awful. Who do people think will win it? I think the Aussies have a chance, or maybe Pakistan.

It was more recent than that. Broad missed a last ball run out.
