CWC2019 Prediction Pool - Win x BTC [Additional prize in every round]

[AB de Royse777]

Guys if we are done with boring conspiracy theories then can we move into next game? or Umar you still want to play Mr. Basit Ali here

I am familiar with this name I think but just can not remember who is this?

Oz team is in big trouble, both opener gone.  

Yeah, it looking very hard for Australia now. May be we are going to see another low scoring match today.
By the way, I am not much worry about to winning my bet that I placed months ago. I have made up my mind. Winning or losing those bets is not going to change anything.

May be this will be a Carey show and I am confident about Smith too.

Edit:
Basi Ali - is this him? I am not familiar about him at all. What's special about him?

AND........... Another gone for Australia, this time Handscomb.

Yeah, he's the guy who thinks 1992 World cup was fixed.


Finally Alex Carey is at crease. and in case something goes wrong ( smith gets out) then I want to see Carey and maxwell to bat together.

He is from Pakistan and how could he say such thing to his country LOL? He was suppose to be chanting for his country as they won the world cup.

Carey was hit by the ball badly on his chin. Thank god that it was not near to his skull

delusional, self hating, limelight seeker person, he's not alone btw, one of the former cricketer thinks that even 2017 Champion trophy was fixed too.

I would love to discuss stuff in cricketing point of view but conspiracy thoughts? Sorry bro, I can't help with it, so I pass your invitation respectfully. And please don't take this as an insult or think that I am ignoring you ( I am not), I am just not interested in this kind of debate.

Because if we are playing this game, Then will go way back to  70s, 80s, 90s or even small series and I am sure it would be a big waste of time.


Smith and Carey building a partnership slowly.

Smith and Carey building a partnership slowly.

Cannot believe my eyes right now. This is just like watching India except its Australia this time around. If both Smith and Carey fall, I am expecting England to pack them up within 200 which is insane.

Also, Carey is seriously awesome. He got hit in the head and is still playing while many would retire. Absolutely impressed with this guy.

FTFY.

He had to coz the team is in immense pressure. I hope him and Smith pull up the team from the deep and give a decent total to challenge England. Right now England is in the driving seat for sure.

[Cloudbet]

Man what a start to todays game!  

Not even 3 overs down and I'd already settled 2/4 bets for today!

- Warner over 50 ❌
- Roy over 50
- Total runs Australia (1st Wicket) Under 40.5 ✅
- ENG to win

Smith and Carey seem to be settling down now after all the early action, hopefully they can build a decent partnership to get some runs on the board. If Australia can keep it tight from now on I'd still expect them to get ~220, but that will be tough to defend with Englands strong battling lineup. Starc and Cummins will need to be on top bowling form to keep the run rate down.

You guys remember the two prediction I made months ago when the tournament just started?

Australia to reach final
Australia to win the world cup.

It's not looking great right now but there's still plenty of time for the Auzzies to turn things around. Good luck!

[JSRAW]

Guys after world cup, what's your plan for new pools?  Ashes coming soon.

Really don't understand, how anyone can think about conspiracy in sports too. Lol and that's in whole world cup level.
If pakistan did won against West Indies, Pakistan was playing against India not NewZealand, but these guys just require excuse for  blaming others.

They are almost there. After 47.1 overs the run is 217 and they lost 8 wickets. I think they will end up around at 240 ish. They needed Smith.

Edit: Another gone. It's Starc. Woakes in on Hat-trick My bad lol it was a run out for Smith.

[Cloudbet]

Damn I thought that throw for the run out yesterday was pretty special, but the one from Buttler on Smith's run out is just incredible:

Opposite end of the crease, had to take off glove, and had to go around the batsman. Damn impressive.

Almost spot on with the 220 score prediction, now time to see if the England batsmen can put this one to bed.

The way England easily win against India and Australia, even a child can see that these two matches were fixed and my theory is 100% perfect.
Anyways now we will have NZ vs Eng and this match will be a cracker.  (Thanks god the final will not be a fixed drama)

We are not excusing (also not manipulating) and i have told many times in my posts above how India try to take England ahead with them and lose the way themselves.

Guys after world cup, what's your plan for new pools?  Ashes coming soon.

I would love to see if Royse make another pool on Ashes and all the upcoming major cricket tournaments. Even the pool without prize money will be ok.
Really we have developed a nice little community here and it is really nice to see all of us contributing and throwing insights on the cricket matches.
A pool is necessary to keep all of us together. 

[virasog]

Both New-Zealand and England has never won a world cup title. Both teams are in best of form and i will give England more chances of wining because of thier home ground and home crowd advantage. On Sunday, a new winner will be announced in Lords and a history will be written.

hmm, England is now superb form and NZ also. I also think More chance to win England. But according to last two matches In semifinals prediction becoming hard . anytime anything can happen. But more perfect is England.

I would rank both the teams at par because both has played some outstanding cricket and beating India with full support from the crowd to India itself was a bigger challenge for NZ which they still managed to win it. So against England they will be well prepared and stand 50% chance to win.

[Little Mouse]

Significant win by England. Didn't expect such poor performance from Australia. Smith and Carey had tried their best. It's good to see new winner in the tournament though. England deserves it mostly because they are in best form along with the support of being host country.

This is the advantage with New Zealand. They are the underdogs and everyone takes them lightly. The same thing happened during the first semi-final, and as a result they were able to upset India. Here also, everyone expects England to win the finals and nobody thinks that NZ has a realistic chance. It looks to me that we'll be having another upset on Sunday.
