T20

With the T20 championship underway , every Indian including me is expecting dhoni to lift the trophy again....Commentory debutant Dada has written in "The Hindu" that he is backing india for a berth in final.... On the other hand The Netherlands captain smits has said yesterday that he is looking forward to finals......


In this format both can or cannot happen....

The first few days of the competition itself had seen a lot of drama with symmo turning indisciplined once again thereby putting a potential fullstop to his own cricketing career, the appearance of the entire indian team for the press meet showing that they are united(really?!),and cancellation of the opening ceremony , and an unexpected result in the opening match itself.....

In many ways this edition will be more interesting than the inaugural edition,with no clear favorites and nearly 6 teams of equal strength,its upto the minnows to upset the party.....

Though it is very risky to guess in a T20 tourament , I cant stop myselves from predicting...

My bet for the semis are the promising indians under dhoni, the determined South Africans under smith, the attacking kiwis under Vettori and a rejuvenated lankans under sanga..... i am not ruling out pakistan or windies but lanka has a better chance to be in the last four.... I may be proved wrong for writing off the aussies but I strongly feel that they are comin without hayden,gilli nad symmo....so its very much unlikely that aussies will take the honours.......a miraculous form should be exhibited by marsh,watson,husseys and johnson along with the captain and his deputy to win the tournament....but i feel thats highly unlikely......

This would be the best chance for South Africa which missed out the semis narrowly last year and also for Newzealand to seal their first world crown....... but lets see......it may be smith or even smits...lets wait till june 21....
