Oye main keya.... come to think of it..... the Pakistanis will be very fresh coming into the T20 world cup since they are getting a good rest at the moment while members of all other teams are playing some intense cricket in the IPL. So Pakistan might just be a force during the T20. Plus they have always been mercurial, you never know what to expect from them.
Your thoughts Q, NC, SP, Homer.....
Pakistanis fresh for T20 World Cup

Its a double edged sword really - being fresh also means no match practice. And no match practice means no way of dealing with the intensity.
Cheers,
I gave my thoughts here, a week ago:

Homer: there's been one intense training camp, 3 intense practice games which started yesterday, and an intense domestic T20 tournament that starts on the 25th.
And there's the small matter of Pakistan being the best T20 team around:

Q,
Not the same as needing 26 runs in a crunch game in the last over of the match.
Like I said, its a double edged sword - it can work for you, it can work against you.
Cheers,
I know what ur saying Homer.. unfortunately the RBS 20-20 Cup is not telecast LIVE all over the world.. but Pak's domestic 20-20 competition for the last 5 years has been the most intense cricket ive seen in Pakistan.. its some awesome 20-20 stuff..
K...i would quote dhoni here...
before i think sri lank tour 2009 one journo asked about india's chances...dhoni famously said...
"if we win...it will be said we were fresh...and if we lose...it will be said we were rusty..."
(something of this sort)
