Casino Critique {ODI World Cup 2023 Prediction Pool🏆} & Discussion Thread

[libert19]

Australia played so bad that during the match even Australian commentators were criticizing the team (Finch, Matthew Hayden), this was not the Australia cricket team they know. They dropped catches, then when batting umpiring decisions, luck wasn't on their side.

I like to think, whether in other situations or in cricket, people lose first by losing confidence in themselves, results follow accordingly. Hopefully they'll recover and give tough competition in remaining matches.

Bangladesh Vs Newzeland

Looking at Bangladesh's batting performance today, it seems that Bangladesh will be all out before 200 runs. All six other players have taken the selection pool for New Zealand except @Mahdirakib. Although three of us should support Bangladesh, we have supported New Zealand for today's match prediction pool. Had Bangladesh supported, I might not have got a point in the prediction pool.
It is not possible to compete in the prediction pool competition by unnecessarily supporting Bangladesh. The squad that Bangladesh went to the World Cup with is a complete failure where there are more inexperienced players than experienced players. So this squad cannot be expected to compete well in a competition like the World Cup.
No one should take my comment seriously because this degradation of cricket cannot be easily accepted for the love of cricket in Bangladesh.

I can understand your frustrations since it's a matter of brain versus heart. Your heart wants to support Bangladesh, but your brain supported New Zealand which was your choice and it turned out to be the right call.

Brain should always take priority over heart when competing in any tournament like our ongoing prediction pool.

Yes boss you are 100% correct.
As a Bangladeshi I definitely supported Bangladesh but had to support New Zealand due to prediction pool. Although I supported New Zealand for the sake of points but I got a lot of joy in my heart when the Bangladeshi batsmen hit four /sixes but only because of the prediction pool I had to force my joy to play New Zealand. However the same thing is going to happen to me for tomorrow's match even though I am a Pakistan supporter at heart but only because of the prediction pool I have to support India...

Pakistan! Holy moly! I was expecting them to give a target above 300 at one stage when Azam and Rizwan were steadying the ship as usual, but losing 8 freaking wickets for 36 runs is insane.

This is one of the biggest collapses that I have witnessed in cricket history. India are obliterating them! Except Thakur, every Indian bowler bowled brilliantly.

It's really disappoint us because we expect a nail bitting and tight fight but unfortunately things goes completely opposite. One things got cleared from today match if we neglect baber and Rizwan than rest of the entire paksitan team will not even scored a 100 runs as a total. Pakistan has a middle order issue from long time the already shuffle several number of player but unable to fix but now I things shadab or nawaz should exchange with any other spinner to make squad more complete and authentic.
Anyway Haunebu did you have any time traveling machine because I have observed from start of the tournament that you have always different prediction from rest of the members and surprisingly you got the right one most of the time is there any secret informer😂. Plz share you taught and experience 😉

Lol! I wish I had a time traveling machine for so many reasons. On a more serious note, I just got lucky which helped a lot along with my quick analysing skills. Am on a super winning streak right now and I hope it continues for some more time.

My tip for you would to bet with your brain and not your heart.

I don't bet $75 on today's match with England strong but England played so badly that my prediction pool failed with losing bets on today's match. A team as strong as England could not stand in front of Afghanistan in today's match but lost so badly that England will probably not have any qualifications to qualify for the semi-finals/final in this World Cup. England's top order batsmen performed so poorly that Mujibur Rahman and Mohammad Nabi could not deal with the ball in a defensive mood. I lost my precious $75 bet for today's match.

Thank you so much I will take it 🙏

It's really shocking for me and most like for every member because most of them select England to won this one sided match but unfortunately none of us get even a single points, it's oky some it's happen but I really appreciate Afghanistan for thier first ever victory in ICC ODI World Cup against defending champions England, no doubt they have some bad day before but they really comback stronger and departure the strong contender of world cup. I really believe they have world number one spin bowling lineup and if some how thier batter scored 280 around or 300 then thier spin bowling has ability to beat any big name of the world cup now they get rythm and will be tough challenge for any team to face them

[Haunebu]

Afghanistan seriously deserves a lot of praise since they defeated the current World Cup champions pretty comfortably by a big margin. They need to keep improving in this manner slowly and steadily.

Also, it looks like Australia is about to bounce back after Sri Lanka collapsed like dominoes when they were cruising at 120/0 at one point.

Among the teams in this year's ICC ODI World Cup, we had put England and Australia as favourites, but World Cup champions England lost their first match against New Zealand by a huge margin. Yesterday too, England lost with Afghanistan by a big margin, it has become quite difficult for England to qualify for the semi-finals in this World Cup. On the other hand, Australia were defeated in two matches but beat Sri Lanka by 5 wickets in today's match and are at number 8 in the points table. England is 5th in the points table.

Afghanistan is having same mentality like Pakistan they are also unpredictable side, but they have good all-rounders with world-class spin department which is good weapon for them, but they need more experience and better conditions for the better results now they have chance to be stayed at sixth or seventh spots because they are doing good job.

With this defeat now most chances England have no chance for the spot into last four because they still remain have tough matches ahead like Australia, India, Pakistan and South Africa from these four matches if they lost two then surely they could be not candidate for the top four and with this now we will have good chance for the Australia, India, New Zealand and South Africa for the last four.

[ZAINmalik75]

I don't think Australia will take his position in top 4 I mean semifinalist, because they were in huge trouble by just chasing a 200 around target agianst sirilankan which is I think huge moment of woory. Let suppose if paksitan scored 350 around target against Australia they I am sure they will definitely lose this opportunity and Thier chases for next stage will almost end. The main concern for them are that thier top order unable to scored runs consistently during critical situation due which middle order pay his price. Anyway I am sure that India, southafrica, NewZeland and paksitan will be semifinalist which I think will be little bit weird for all of you because of current Pakistan performance but believe me it will come true 😉

[Haunebu]

Holy moly! Looks like another upset is on the cards because Netherlands are all set to defeat South Africa once Miller falls since he is their last proper batsman. This looks like a repeat of the Afg-Eng match.

Netherlands went from 140/7 to 245 thanks to Bavuma's bad captaincy. South Africa looks like they won't even reach 200. Crazy!

Now things are going into very interesting way with this defeat now doors are open for the Australia, but they have to done more effort in their coming matches and England is also now in even mostly probably they will be not in top four, but this defeat is surely one of the most interesting for the all other top teams.
Bavuma is surely one of the worst captains in this event, but their talent is amazing, but one thing is surely they are not capable of win this event even their start is one of the most impressive.

I think South Africa has thier previous world cup defeat memory in thier minds which paralyze them during match , To be honest I wasn't expecting such kind of results from South Africa because they have shown thier class in recent matches that how good are thier batting line-up but unfortunately not even a single batter can't add his significant contribution which will help his team out of such difficult situation
Anyway a big congratulations to Netherlands by continuing a winning streak at world Cup stage against southafrica, I have seen thier bowling bench is really improved with time which really give them extra confidence. It's a 3rd collapse after paksitan and England hope we will see some more interesting Soon.

I always thought why he was the captain, he don't have that captain thing in him. Markram would have been a better choice, imo. SA team is top class tho, but they lack proper lead.

RSA's top orders batsman run ..
Bavuma 16
Quinton De Cock 20
Van Der Dussen 4
Markram 1

If South Africa's top order batsmen's run collection on that day is like this, then what are the chances of South Africa winning the target of 246 runs in just 43 overs. Overall South Africa's performance that day was not at all acceptable but not only because of bad captaincy but also because of the failure of the whole team which was the reason for South Africa's defeat.

After this defeat their moral could be down but still they are good and can do good progress in this big event, but they are having tag of chokers which is still chasing them, and they are surely needed to be positive if they want to have better things in future matches Netherlands batting done amazing stuff in last few overs and bring good momentum but in bowling things were completely under their control specially after having early breakthrough.

Today Afghanistan were good at bowling but after doing good bowling they have the worst collapse in batting and gone down badly which is surely not ideal after having win against team like England, but they are also unpredictable, so we can't expect anything good from them in all matches.

Bowling could be good but if teammates don't catch, what's the point? Afg dropped 5 catches otherwise NZ would've been cleared long before 288 and made target chaseable for Afghans.
