Cricket match prediction discussions

England are the winners for the 2019 WC and that's what will be written in the record books. You come here after 20 years and everyone will be saying that 2019 WC was won by England and it will be a history. No one will remember what happened and how England got lucky. That's a fact.

Hilarious. Majority of the Cricketing community will remember this match and its bullshit result for ages since it is probably the greatest Cricket match ever played in the world of Cricket surprisingly between England and New Zealand.

Another update to this unfair result.

The updates just keep pouring in. The captain of the winning team and the on field umpire themselves have issues with the result. Nothing left to say people!

Let's just have a re-match between England and New Zealand.

If there was a rematch played between New Zealand and England once again England will grab it, because this time I see them to be more lucky to win the match. The match could've turned to New Zealand if the four wasn't conceded touching the bat on a overthrow. Next, during the super over after the six it was quite easy to achieve the target, but missed. This is completely a lucky day for England.

Can't support your 1st statement, the four wasn't anyhow game turning point. Stokes would it from bat as well if it was not from overthrow. The 2nd statement is true, NZ must have won the match, after the first six in the super over, it was easy to chase. But, their bad luck.

This option does not exists anymore. Both the team actually played so well and that was the reason that match and super over got tied. Only thing is that world cup cannot be shared due to which they had to declare one winner. Else it was both team's cup if performance is considered on overall basis.

[Haunebu]

Let's just have a re-match between England and New Zealand.

That would be awesome, but that will obviously never happen. The only thing we can all hope for is that something like this never happens again in any kind of tournament.

Can't support your 1st statement, the four wasn't anyhow game turning point. Stokes would it from bat as well if it was not from overthrow.

I disagree. That 4 was obviously the game turning point here. Even if Stokes would be on strike, they would still need 7 runs from 2 balls which is very, very tough even for a batsman like Stokes. Luck helped him here.

There's a T20 series coming up between India and WI and I just checked the players list and noticed Gayle is not in the team. He said he would retire from ODIs after the WC but did he retire from T20 also?

It's his own decision that he will not play t20 against India, not a declaration of retired though. He will probably retire from t20 as well, already retired from ODI and List A matches.
That's what he said but already retired from ODI.

"It's still not the end. I still have a few games to go. May be another series to go, as well. Who knows, we will see what happens. My plans after World Cup? I may play a Test match against India and then I will definitely play the ODIs against India. I won't play the T20s. That's my plan after the World Cup,"

We have a separate topic for T20 discussion: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5102095.0 :-)

Back to the Gayle thing, I do not know any update available about his retirement but it's very much predictable that he will retire from ODIs if he can not perform well but for T20s - he is still non-replaceable I think and Gayle should carry on to it.

Last what I have heard was that Gayle will retire after this series and might even retire from all forms of cricket. Also he is now 39 and he is not able to perform the way he used to bat couple of years before. So better to exit then not to be picked by the team.

The problem with all these West Indies players is that they give importance to these domestic T20 leagues than their national side, Gayle is not playing against the series against India is because he is participating in Global T20 Canada tournament, he is a force to recon in the shorter format of the game and he is taking full opportunity to make money while he can by participating in all the T20 leagues around the world who pays good money for him to play.

Gayle is close to 40 and it is not his sole responsibility to rescue the Windies team. The other members should also rise to the occasion, if they want to retain their former glory. You can't even blame Gayle as un-patriotic. West Indies is not a single nation. It is a combined team of more than a dozen smaller countries. So it is not surprising that there is a lack of team bonding.

Its sad to know that gayle will not be playing in series with India. Indian team is already very strong and there was only hope that gayle will give tough time to Indian bowlers. Now with no gayle, West Indies team will be very weak and there would be one sided matches.

Gayle is in poor form these days and he will not bring any much good for the team if you think WI is not a good team. Would be a nice series if both team played away series. India will have the benefit of home. Otherwise, in t20, West Indies still a big team.

This is still ridiculous - Chris Gayle should be way more respectable towards the team (and name) through which he built his career and reputation around the globe. Moreover, the West Indies cricket board should forcefully retire him from the international cricket if he's not willing to provide his services for his original team for some other stupid T20 leagues.

West Indies is a big team in T20, but they don't have any consistency in the game. If a player starts good then the same gets continued through the match. If the start gets out to the pavilion the same gets followed. This makes them struggle to score reaching an average total. Though it is home benefit for India, West Indies too have got equal winning opportunity.

The west Indian team does not lack good players. West Indies team has been mismanaged for some years now. But they still can turn the game any side with their individual performances. T20 is a format less predictable than others and a single player can make a difference. So we need to wait and watch how the things turns.

West Indies spend less on cricket, player didn't get paid for a couple of months years ago. They still have some god talents but there's no good mentor.
One or two expensive over can turn a match in T20 format, West Indies has more benefit on this

This is true. A single player like Russell or Gayle can make a huge difference in a T-20 tournament, but the manner in which they lost in the World Cup would have crushed their morale and we need to see if they can bounce back or not.

This same statement applies to India too who possess some hard hitters who can finish game on their day. It all comes down to how good each side bowls at the end of the day.

I think that not the right way. A player can play according to their will. Denying to play for the national team does not mean that they can not continue in other international leagues. A player is free to sign up with any team/league.

We have seen AB as an example. The same with football to I think.

Seem like a lot of us is thinking West Indies can make an impact and win the T20 series :-)

The extra pressure for India is to maintain their standard and perform according to the expectation. This is a huge disadvantage for India. If they can not handle the pressure then they will suffer and if they perform bad in the opening match then game on for West Indies.

This is true. If West Indies actually win this tournament, I would be genuinely surprised considering the manner in which they played in the World Cup.

Also, will you be starting another pool for the upcoming Ashes and India vs West Indies tournaments Royse? Fun is the priority and I have enjoyed playing in the IPL and World Cup pools recently.

No sure bud. I think it's only few matches between only two teams to predict win-lose only. A pool like this kind is better when there are more teams like we have seen in IPL and World cup kind of tournament. If anyone has any idea then feel free to propose or start. I will give my full support. I am looking forward to the next big tournament, possibly T20 world cup, champions league, next IPL which are popular for all nations.
