Here we go it's started..........

West Indies v Pakistan, got to be a pakistan win surely.

 

Well done Milamber I just came on here to start one.

just trying to work and watch W.I. v PAK, stuffed a £10er on PAK for some interest.

So open this year, could be one of 6 teams I reckon, India, S.Africa, Australia, Pakistan with Eng and NZ as outsiders, I did think maybe the hosts but after that game against India I realised they would not stand a chance, it seems the locals aren't too interested either the ground is way off capacity.

 

Windies not doing too well, run rate of below 4 at the moment..

 

Took pakistan to win this one.

Laying SA and betting Sri Lanka & India for the tournament at the moment too.

350+ sixes looks a good bet given the size of the grounds in the WI

 

Just had to listen Radio 4 on the way home from work, jeez I need DAB in the car, that high pitched whistling is like water torture !

At least they had Sir Viv co commentating

 

Kingston certainly has shrunk since the new stand went up

Where did you get the 350+ sixes ?? Betfair possibly

 

yes betfair. Had half an hour wandering through the offers this morning

350 in 50 games is only 7 per *game* , we've had more than 7 so far in the 1st innings ....

 

Gah that started well

 

Not a great start from me

Scotland v Australia hhhmmmm let me think more or less than 100 runs between them?

 

Im going for +400 especially as scotland have put the Ozzies in, fair play to them for doing that, they didnt have too but if they had gone in to bat the match could have been over as a contest after about 20 overs.

 

There had to have been some reason for it!

 

400+ hhhmmm interesting, definitely over 300.

Remember the time South Africa got the highest ever ODI total playing Australia only to lose the match

 

hope so , bit short on sixes so far

Apparently Ponting would have batted too. Good practice and an opportunity to get the NRR up going forward.

 

Whats going wrong? might struggle for 300 at this rate.

 

Hogg did rather well didn't he, 40 runs off 15 *****


Nine 6's from the Aussies too

 

Ireland vs Zim might be a game today.

I might throw a quid or two at Ireland....


S

 

Just like to wish England all the best against the Kiwi's!
Go Monty, go Monty, go Monty

 

Remind me of Bell's usefeulness again?

 

The joys of being an England Cricket fan eh

 

I'm keeping my mouth shut this time.

 

 

Just got this from the bbc web site -live text


22nd over: NZ 97-4
Good work from Styris - he squirts Monty away behind square for three, and then helps himself to two singles. Ian Bell chased the former with a strange rolling gait, rather like the Hofmeister bear.

 

Well, same old story, hammered again............ we`re bottom of the fooking table..

 

I blame Bell

 

Looks like Bangladesh could beat India and Ireland have a great chance of beating Pakistan this evening, who'd have thought that!!

 

I don't think even Munkii would have put money on India getting beaten by 5 wickets by bangladesh, or maybe he would

 

I didn't back anyone but if I had it would have been an India Pakistan double, it's brilliant stuff though, I said at the start its the most open WC ever, but I certainly didn't envisage the sort of games we have seen today, if Ireland win they'll be on three points, remember this is only their 3rd full international match and they are on the brink of beating one of the best teams in the world !
Having witnessed the pitches it's still anyones because between now and April 28th those pitches will deteriorate, I still expect a member of the super8 to win it but the pitches could throw up some strange results, and people were saying there were a lot of nothing games this week, tell that to India and Pakistan. 98/4 with 17 overs to get 35 runs, surely they can do it, I wonder what this will do for Cricket in Ireland, something tells me it will go ballistic and they'll be playing tests within 10 years.

On St paddy's day as well you couldn't have written this I just hope I haven't bocked them....

 

With reference to the Pakistan bowlers, it's funny how the two drug cheats who miraculously had their bans revoked both choosen for the WC squad and a day after the ICC announced rndondrug testing during the WC the pair of them pulled out of the WC injured....

 

117/7 squeeky bum time
