World Twenty20 2012 Begins

I just cut and pasted the first post from our last tournament. Seemed like a good place to start:


OK, so here we go again. I have updated all the links on the right so don't hesitate to use them often. And don't hesitate to post comments - that's half the fun ya know?

To get us going I will put some questions out there for you to ponder and reply to:
1. What will your team name be? Does it have any special meanings?
2. What is your strategy for this tournament?
3. Other than yourself, who would you most like to see win our competition? Who would you like to see fail? (I know that's not nice but come on, there is someone you secretly want to be on the bottom) Who do you really want to make sure you are ahead of?


Discuss........


Also, keep in mind that this is a Twenty20 tournament. So they play shorter games (20 overs) as opposed to the 50 overs of a 1 day international game like they did in the World Cup. So expect batters to be going balls to the walls (hey, that would be a good team name - I may have to change) and not holding back - this could lead to high scores or a duck.

final note: matches get underway on Tuesday the 18th with the host nation Sri Lanka taking on Zimbabwe. Don't discount Zimbabwe, I think this might be their year.
