T-20 CWC Prediction Pool 2022

[Little Mouse]

^^ oh really? I haven't checked the group yet. (okay just checked) guess need to extend it for like 6-ish more days. Thanks for the update.

I think I haven't joined yet on the pool. It simply isn't much interesting when you see very few participants here. I can't believe that we can't even make it at least 10. Sadly many are missing here. Bitcointalk Cricket Community is dying gradually.

@Pffrt and @akhjob are not active anymore

I sent a PM to Pffrt but haven't heard back from him recently. He seems to be very busy in real life. And so does, akhjob. I have him in telegram, I will inform him now but I don't think he is going to join us, as far as I know he is very much with his job.

I agree and it would be boring if we are less than 10 participants @RapTarX also mentioned the same thing at the start.

According to superbru (Super 12 contests) We still have 6 more days to go (thanks to Haunebu) so there is some hope.

Guys, what do you think? Should we cancel the pool if our numbers are less than 10?

@JSRAW, Some team has made a few changes in their squad. India, Pakistan and South Africa has replaced one players from their main squad. Shami, Fakhar Zaman and Marco Jansen has taken in to the main squad from the reserved players. Bangladesh has added two players, Shoriful Islam and Soumya Sarkar in their squad. They removed Sabbir Rahman and Mohammad Saifuddin from the squad. I hope you will update the squad list in your post.

There are 7 people in the pool who has paid the entry fee. Perhaps, we may get 3-5 more people within the remaining days. Have you tried to get an sponsor for this discussion pool?

Yeah, I've noticed the notifications of the respective cricket board, just got lazy to update the thread. I'll do it soon, thanks for the update.

Most of us (at least me) are hoping that we'll get at least 3-4 more punters soon, let's hope for the best.

Unfortunately no, I haven't tried for a sponsor here.

Guys, what do you think? Should we cancel the pool if our numbers are less than 10?

Personally, I have no issues with just 7 or 8 members of I'm being honest since I feel that's plenty for a month of fun. Some of the participants in the previous pools weren't even active most of the time which is why I had no idea why they participated.

If the majority feel that we should cancel this pool, that's what we should do. If not, we should proceed with it.

Myself too don't have any issues with the number of participants. As @Haunebu said it gives plenty of fun throughout the month. Even now itself interesting things were happening with the warm-up and the group stage matches.

Fair enough.

Sure we'll obviously go with the majority and I believe no one wants to see the canceled pool. It would be a bummer if it happens tbh.

Let's just hope that more people chip in soon.

Reminder

Just two days left for the start of the World Cup. As the Group stage matches were going on, some might miss to pick the winner on the pool.

Guys can we have little fun in the thread apart from the Pool. Something like team batting first score prediction and so on. One who picks the right slab can be given merits (just a suggestion). This is against the purpose of merit, still it can make some noise in the thread.

[JSRAW]

It's an interesting idea but unfortunately, we have no merit source in the cricketing thread lol.

Maybe except Royce, don't know if he's still an active merit source or not.

I do try to spend a majority of my s-merits in the cricketing thread but it's not much so not sure if it's sustainable.

This is a great idea to be honest. The group stage matches have been exciting so far. Sri Lanka and Netherlands have qualified successfully(Netherlands should thank UAE) while West Indies and Scotland will most probably take the remaining spots.

Understandable. We all are aware of the fact that merit is difficult to earn through gambling threads.

As 'Vaskiy' has mentioned in his post, we shouldn't spend our sMerit for such prediction post. It may increase the activity in this thread, but the merit system was created with a different purpose.

I'm hoping that this system will increase post quality by:
 - Forcing people to post high-quality stuff in order to rank up. If you just post garbage, you will never get even 1 merit point, and you will therefore never be able to put links in your signature, etc.
 - Highlighting good posts with the "Merited by" line.

We can do it in a different way though. How it would be if we make a different prize distribution pool for the most (overall) correct score predictor? Let's separate 10% from the total prize pool for the pool participant who will make the maximum number of correct score prediction during the super 12 stage matches. The top 3 ranked users of Superbru leaderboard will receive respectively 50%, 30% and 20% from the remaining prize pool amount.

This seems to be a good plan. We need the majority to support, so that the 10% will keep the thread active parallel to the pool during the match hours.

We'll now have some action from tomorrow. The qualification round for super 12 was exciting and we witnessed some fine contests and upsets.

2 time World Champion Windies saw their dreams crushed by associates and these new guys would not make things easy for others in Super 12 groups, they might not be fav but they should aim to do maximum damage in their respective groups.

This is what it looks like.



@Little Mouse noticed that you still didn't join the superbru

[Haunebu]

This is what it looks like.

Windies getting knocked out before Super 12 blew my mind and it shows the state of their team at present. Alzarri Joseph was the only game-changer in their team in my opinion.

I don't think Australia will win the World Cup this time around even though they have home ground advantage making them the favorites. Excited for the upcoming matches.

Windies are really going down the drain, this was the only format where they were considered the good side but they are losing their marbles here too.

So far every host nation failed to win the T-20 wc in their backyard so who knows, but they do have a good team tho.

Match Update : Australia vs New Zealand

New Zealand comfortably made 200 runs with Finn Allen scoring 42 runs, Convoy 92^*, Neesham 26^*. This gave pressure to the Australian team from the beginning and lost 3 important wickets in the powerplay. Tim Southee made remarkable bowling taking 3 wickets conceding just 6 runs.

Result : New Zealand beat Australia by 89 runs.

[Little Mouse]

Bookies were favoring Aussies and underestimating Kiwis today. I was almost ready to go for batting 2nd on that until I saw the odd for NZ. It was my surprise to see 3.15 odd for NZ to win which influence me to give it a shot lol and I won. That was a beautiful win, wasn't it  This gives me the feeling that we may see NZ will break their previous records of not winning any world cup. Their batting seems solid though I don't think Williamson is so much capable of being a T20 batsman these days, no doubt about his captaincy though.

Here's my sweet bet, by the way, I picked AUS in the pool 

[JSRAW]

^^ Hard to blame anyone who supported or put their money on the Aussie.

Kiwi's record was really bad in Australia, surprisingly it was their first T-20 win against Aussie in the last 11 years and it came when it mattered most. The ICC tourney!

Yeah, that was a long streak. Australia was favorite no doubt.

Tomorrow, we will have India vs Pakistan, one of the most amazing matches I used to enjoy in my early age. Bookies are favoring India as usual and most possibly they will win. I will only bet once I see odd is above 3 for Pakistan. Otherwise, I'm not going to place any bet on this lol. Wondering why I didn't say India? Cause I don't think we will have an odd of 3 for India 

What do you guys think? Considering the recent shit shows from Bangladesh, I think Netherland can win this match, at least I won't be surprised if this happen. The odd is pretty decent IMO.
