T20 and T20I cricket prediction and discussion

[onrise]

1st T20 between Wi Vs SL is over .  Batting first WI made 196/4 , Simpson was not out at 65 and all other batsman contributed to the teams score . In response SL was all out for 171 runs and lost the match by 25 runs . Thomas took 5 wickets for 28 and just washed the dreams of SL winning this match .

More speculation of AB de Villiers return, its seems everyone sending mix signals be it management, Coach and AB de Villiers silence on this matter not making things easy for any sports journalist.

Date set for potential de Villiers international return

I just heard in the news today he will be playing in the upcoming India vs South Africa tournament. Indian news channels have been rattling this news from early this morning. I am pretty much sure he will be playing. Source.

Its rip off article from the same article which i shared earlier but that's how news thingy works so can't complain.

Anyway, i am fan of AB de Villiers but i have mixed feeling on his comeback, considering the fact that he left his team when they needed him most.

We have discussed that incident many times here in the past and there is no need to resume the debate again. All of us know the real reason that triggered his retirement from international cricket. That said, if de Villiers comes out of his retirement then it is going to give a big boost for South Africa. He performed really well in franchise T20 cricket in the recent months, playing for Brisbane Heat and Tshwane Spartans. 

[JSRAW]

^^ I am more interested in who going to sit out if he/they comes back, according to the article they named 3 players so far " Coming back from retirement/Comeback" AB de Villiers , Imran Tahir and Chris Morris. Gotta feel for young players here who are working their asses off and then out of nowhere Boom!

Anybody watching WI Vs SL match? Currently, SL are 96/5 in 14 overs. The runrate is good but WI are not allowing them to build a solid partnership. WI are picking wickets at regular intervals and I believe that they are going to wind up SL around 150 runs. I don't expect much from the Srilankan side.

And btw, as JSRAW pointed out there is only 3 weeks left for IPL, so let's decide entry fee guys.

And btw, as JSRAW pointed out there is only 3 weeks left for IPL, so let's decide entry fee guys.

There's no fee in PSL and no one other than Royse777 have sent any amount in the pool although I have promised to send an amount which I will say of course.
In IPL, there must be an entry fee which is flexible for everyone. May be 0.001 BTC is good for me which other may not. It would be good if Royse creates a poll to decide the entry fee.

We don't have a poll, but we already have a thread regarding IPL and the possibility of having an entry fee posted by Royse777. Make sure you post in the thread, that you are comfortable with 0.001 BTC. I think after a few more days, we can finalise on the entry fees.
Regarding PSL some of us including me weren't ready to have an entry fee, as we don't know most of the players playing in the PSL. Tbh, I still haven't watched a single PSL match and I'm betting on random team names

Forgot to update: WI won the match against SL in style. Just enjoyed Russell's hard-hitting.

Now many members enjoying cricket betting and Royse777 is giving them good platform for winning some good amount I feel fees between 0.001 to 0.002 is very fair as I personally playing EPL pool for second year its bringing some good interest if IPL have members more then 15 then this could be good and manageable for all.

It was good to see the WI win a series away from home, they have always been a good T20 team but their form in recent times hasn't been that great so for them to win the series away from home will give them some confidence heading into the T20 world cup later this year.

WI is by far a better team than the Srilankans. I was not surprised to see how easily they won the T20 series. It was a complete whitewash. Srilanka's batting has been an issue not many good players left in the team.

@vella85 WI team has lots of potential but they have failed to capitalise it so far, however if they continue playing like the way they played against Sri Lanka then I would definitely put them in my contenders list to win the upcoming T20 World Cup. @pakhitheboss I’ll agree that WI team had better players but many of them do not perform consistently, and meanwhile Sri Lanka’s team is in a transition mode and they’ll at least few years before they can challenge top teams again.

WI is highly talented team and just beacuse of the issues with the board the team is not consistent or it effects their game . We have seen how at times they can chase or score the runs at fast paced and can easily cross 200 on a given day . But they lack consistency which could be due to various reasons . If they get it right they can beat any of the best teams of T20 easily .

Sachin Tendulkar, Brian Lara, Muttiah Muralitharan set to feature in new T20 tournament

Now we are going to see all (5 Test playing nations) retired players in T-20 tournament, Which is schedule in India next year. Road Safety World Series. So far 110 retired players confirmed their participation, my guess is financial setup-auction rituals are similar to IPL if there are any.  

Update on World Series T-20 - Retired players playing for Road Safety- Its starting from today, not much media coverage so zero hype but its for good cause, not expecting much but it would be fun watching some fav old players.

 Indian Legends seems to be almost the same team I was a fan when I started watching cricket. Remembering the good old days of Indian cricket team. Any tv channel covering the matches? I would take the feel of old days.

[Pffrt]

Big shoutout for Sachin and Sehwag. Anyone watching the match? West Indies legend has scored 150 now Sachin and Sehwag is batting, 18/0. That's a good match to watch. I am thrilled.
Edit- Forget to share about the usual style of Sehwag. 2 fours from the first 2 ball.

Oh yes, watching..

Surprisingly house full, considering the fact that there was not much publicity for this series but crowd came out anyway just to cheer Sachin and others.

Sachin.. Sachin.. Chant in stadium whenever he's swinging bat. Good ol days

Sehwag was star for Indian Legends as they won first match against West Indies with 10 balls still left good start with good batting and bowling from past stars look like this could be great for many retired players in many ways like finances and fitness level.

[Little Mouse]

That was really a great match. Most of the stars played and good to see that they performed nicely.
Today, Srilanka will face Australia. It's going to be another great match since we will see Muralidharan, Chaminda Vaas, Marvan Atapattu to play once again.

I really hope that crowd turns up again in the stadium as they came out for previous game.
Fellas, Today is Women's day and we have Women Wt20 final! Both teams are strong but Australian are favorite IMO

Ind W vs Aus W
Australia won the toss and opted to bat first, their openers already got good start. 47 runs in 5 over without losing any wicket.

May be 0.001 BTC is good for me which other may not. It would be good if Royse creates a poll to decide the entry fee.

I feel fees between 0.001 to 0.002 is very fair as I personally playing EPL pool for second year its bringing some good interest if IPL have members more then 15 then this could be good and manageable for all.

Good to see that you guys are taking interest, it would be great if you can drop your preferable fee amount in "IPL Mutual Pool Discussion" so that royse can take final decision on fees etc.

Australian team is rocking 117/1 in 12 overs at this rate they can easily score more than 250. India needs some wickets now otherwise this match will go out of their hand. Australia are favourites but you cannot underestimate team India.

What an amazing start to the final's where OZ had an 115 runs opening partnership and managed to score 184/4 in 20 overs. Mooney was not out at 78 and Healy made 75 runs. This would be a big score for India to chase and in finals the pressure always is on batting second. Hopefully we see the match goes till last ball to decide the world champions of T20.
