Australia favourites for the ICC World T20 2012, thinks http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Aamer-Sohail-c41418 – Cricket News Update
Predicting about the forthcoming http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Sri-Lanka-c758, the former Pakistan captain, Aamer Sohail, expressed that Australia is one of the hot-favourites to clinch the trophy for the first time in history.
The Kangaroos have generally not done well in the game’s shortest format over the years, placed at number 9 in the ICC T20 Ranking.
Aamer believes that the World T20 is very open and a number of teams possess the ability to lift the trophy, but http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Australia-c746, in his opinion, are the team to beat because of their all-round strength.
The former left-handed opener thinks that England, the defending champions, cannot be ruled out in the presence of a number of match-winners.
"There are several teams who in my opinion can win the world T20. First and foremost Australia, who have quality batsmen and 3 excellent fast bowlers and they have a method to their twenty over game," the former Pakistan captain expressed while talking to
Pakpassion. "http://www.senore.com/Cricket/England-c749 cannot be ruled out either, they are defending their title and will not relinquish their title easily."
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Pakistan-c755 and England have won the tournament’s previous three editions respectively. Over the years, the T20 format has turned out to be an extremely unpredictable one and any team can be beaten on a given day.
However, Pakistan and http://www.senore.com/Cricket/South-Africa-c757 are the two teams who have consistently done well in this version, with win percentages of more than 60.
A number of cricket pundits are rating http://www.senore.com/Cricket/KA-Pollard-c1754 and some others in their ranks.
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Sohail-c90628 also rates West Indies high in the T20 format but maintains that the Kangaroos are a much better unit, taking into account the nature of Sri Lankan pitches, which have been favouring seam bowlers in recent seasons.
"The West Indies are another team who have quality cricketers in their squad and who are ideally suited to the twenty over format. But I think that Australia is the team to beat," he concluded.
