Friends, Aussies have done wonderfully well in the ODI wolrld cup. Next is the 20-20 championship in September in South Africa. I am a great fan of Aussies. I am sure they are going to win this championship also. What do you think?

The Aussies were invincible in the World Cup, and I think they'll continue to be so in the 20-20 championship. They are in super form, and they always maintain their high quality of discipline in every cricket match. Go Aussies!

well no doubt they r best but cricket is a game where u just cant be sure of anything would be beaten up by bang in world cup i dont think anybody would have ever wondered and moreover this is going to be 20 20 and not one day so its just unpredictable at the most u can have ur well wishes for them

Hmmm... I'm not so sure. 20-20 is a much newer phenomenon for Aussies. Bit of a slog fest. It's unpredictable. The Indians might be a bit of a surprise though. Just as long as those Poms are a failure. That'll make me happy. One thing more... it might be nice after their miserable time lately for the Pakistanis to win a competition. Aussie, aussie, aussie, Oi, oi, oi!!!!

I feel 20-20 cricket is a slog fest very unpredictable. So I don't think anyone is favouirte in 20-20 championships since players will take more risks and if it comes off one will win.

Dear, pratikjain, 20/20 is all together a different ball game. Its much different than 50/50 conventional One Internationals. If we go by experience, then there are three teams who play 20/20 regularly in their domestic cricket i.e. Australia, England, South Africa. One of them should win. Australian players like hussey, harway doing well in english county 20/20 championships. English counties were defeated by Pakistani 20/20 champions (faisalabad). South African champion team was also defeated by Pakistan in the International clubs 20/20 tournament in england and later won the cup too. In my humble opinion there are four teams strong contenders for 20/20 International championship. South Africa, Pakistan, Australia and England. I am not sure if India play 20/20 regularly as I have not heard much of them in this form of the game. Since pitches in south africa will be supporting bowlers, then I would bet my money on south africa and australia and to some extent England. But if pitches are batting friendly then I think pakistan will also have a good outright chance. Likes of Shahid Khan Afridi, Imran Nazir, Shoaib Malik, Abdul Razzaq, Muhammad Asif will be handful. Happy Discussions.
