Blogs What is Akram Really Trying to Say?
May 29th, 2009 by kapoorAnyone who has been following the various T20 World Cup predictions and opinions that seem to be piling-up by the hour would have noted the kind of highlight that Wasim Akram is trying to render to his beleaguered national side. That is how it has to be explained. Agreed that T20 is really anybody’s game and is much more unpredictable than ODI’s but most folks would say that saying that Pakistan are a real contender is slightly miscued.
For starters, their international exposure has been very limited. That might mean that they are the freshest of teams playing in the England World Cup, but seriously the tag of ‘favourites’ just does not seem fit them unless you are trying to patronize a national team that is gradually sinking in terms of audience popularity. I would rather rate the likes of India, South Africa and Australia as the real contenders with all the other teams having an equally great chance of upsetting any kind of prediction.
