So Far at the t20 Whatever

1) Three years into the tournament and the organizers haven't yet decided if it is a cup or a trophy or just a shield or mace or  whatever... It's just the world t20....

2) Last year's runners up, Sri Lanka are in a right mess with the batting, Dilshan's lost form, King Kumar ain't too flash either, Uncle Sanath seems to be playing as a spinner only and the Other Guy wont get to bat till the rest of the average middle order fall behind the rate a bit  And according to latest news Murali has gone out with an injury.

3)Australia seem to have a clue what they're doing at T20. What's with the comic running at the end though?

4)Despite all the suspensions, Pakistan have come into the tournament with quite a decent side. Misbah is "almost" doing everything though.almost taking catches, almost getting run out... he never closes the bloody deal. Mohammad Aamer is just amazing.. and Mohammad Sami..well....

5)Mohammad Ashraful is fooling people into believing that he's gone all sensible now, wait till you watch his next innings. Mortaza is back to playing cricket.. dunno for how long though

6)It's still pretty difficult to tell what the West Indians will do.. yet to face a strong team.

7) What exactly is the thinking behind South Africa's thinking of wait-till-the-target-gets-out-of-reach-then-make-a-mad-dash approach, I can never understand.

8)The Kiwis are as usual the underdogs... which means no one notices until they get to the knockout stages, and wonder how the hell they got there.. and of course, there will be the usual exit in a close do or die game.

9)India, somehow still think they can get away with bowling part timers even in crucial stages. The batsmen seems to be finding their feet


10) Well played, to the Afghanistan cricket team. The rise in ranks of the team is wonderful story of self belief and determination.
