Interesting point, so if we assume that SL will lose the VB series in Australia then we arrive at a conclusion that SL will have no chance in the World cup.That's fine with me, but then how are you going to write of Pakistan who happened to have won a oneday series in Australia a few months back?? Oh i see, you are going to do that on the basis of Pakistan losing to SA in SA (regardless of their performance in Aus).Again its fine with me, but then how are you going to write off India??
If India can struggle in favourable conditions then they can easily struggle in unfavourable ones.
Of course, it's not impossible to win the WCs in unfavourable conditions, but it's more difficult. And the NZ series as it's progressing currently doesn't bode well, does it?
Pakistan are showing this well - one good day and two stinkers so far. [/quote]
Nobody asked you as to WHY you came up with such a post but WHAT was you trying to prove by mentioning the Wi series.
The Theorists "bazar" has suggested that Asian BATSMEN will struggle on bouncy pitches and as such will STRUGGLE in WC.In the WI series India lost because of its bowlers, i don't need to put up stats but Indian batters scored heavily in the series , thats why your whole point was senselss!!
As for referring to the NZ series, first let me clear one thing, you guys have to wait till the ondayer series are over or half way through to arrive at any conclusion.A oneday team should be judge by its onedayer performance and not by Test matches!
And lastly, the theorists was talking about all the Asians struggling in the WC because of pitches(NOTE:he's not talking about them not winning the WC but rather them struggling throughout the WC) i would like to remind him that one of the finalists in the previous WC played outside Asia happen to be an Asian.This further proves that his theory is rubbish!
L, the point that was being made by Bazar was that the team that were struggling on bouch pitches of Aus and WI would never win the WC or even do well.Wi played in India, so ur point is baseless.Also if India lost to WI, then they also happen to have won the CT, besides which team havs been constantly winning onedayers ??.If one example of failure is enough to write a team off than we can write of each and every test playing nations , as everyone has had their share of failures!
