'Anybody can beat anybody' tournament

[jnaveen1980]

Never in an ICC tournament where I see favorites have to be more scared than the underdogs. At this point I won't be shocked if BD trounces India and goes on to beat Pakistan.

Aus going back home early has made the tournament wide open.

Mentally fragile teams are out of the way. NZ Eng SA.

The thing is the teams that are adept at playing such high pressure matches - Australia are out. India too can handle the pressure and they have made it. My money is still on India to win the cup

This is a win toss win match tournament. England would've won today if they had won the toss.

No, I'm not trying to take anything away from pak. They've played well. But frankly speaking, result of the match would've been exactly the opposite if England had won the toss and bowled first.

But 211 all out was too much. No demons in the pitch used or unused. It is more than just not winning the toss.

Why would England win the toss and bowl first on a pitch that was only going to get slower? All the experts thought Pakistan had made the wrong decision by bowling first.

It appears that England would have batted if they had won toss.

Thats the difference between Aus and fragile teams such as NZ, Eng, RSA. No doubt a team with Hazelewood, Starc, Mitchell Johnson wouldve ripped through any batting lineup especially in knockouts.

But at toss morgen said . After wining the toss he was also going to bat first.
