The team as such looks to be the strongest in spite of being very docile looking.What I mean is that the team seems to be very majestic,which seems to cover good ground in every sphere of the game like fielding,batting,bowling, and professional approach.

I like their logo. That guy Symonds sure would love to think of himself as a bully oops I mean bull. Nah seriously , the logo is doing justice to the likes of Afridi , Gibbs and Symonds who are either handy all rounders or thundering fielders and sometimes both. The only softie in the team looks to be the captain.Wonder how he will keep these guys under check! lol.

the team does not have shah rukh khan or priety or mithun but still it has good chances to lead.this shows that only publicity is not enough there should some talent also.

This is the perfect team by the point of view of twenty 20 games ... all batsman can demolish the opponent bowling attack easily ... Symonds ... Gilchrist ... Afridi ... Gibbs these four names are the night mare for any bowler ... & once they start firing ... god save opponent ...

I am sure their strong aspect is batting attack ...

I am sure you can see this team either in Final or in Semi Final at least ... Lalit is absolutely right that strong point of this team is Batting line up .. and this is very much necessary for this kind of cricket. You just have to put big scores or you can easily chase the big score ...

But VVS Laxman is very unusual pick for this kind of cricket ...

The team looks poised and will be a tough competitor. I think Adam will have a very good time. Paired with afridi, Gibbs and also the list of bowlers look seemingly superb, they are one among the best.

This will be an exciting team to watch. Not only do they have the potential to hit a lot of runs, and I mean hit a lot of runs, but they also have the potential to go for a lot too!
