thought id make a thread for people to talk about the cricket world cup - I see south afrcia winning it

if anyone mentions ireland and england i will personally insert a snooker cue somewhere painful, i'm still hurting from it now . stupid england.

my tip would be india providing their fitness levels hold. their batting line up is far scarier than any others out there, south africa and england bat to #4 then have nothing really, the aussies and sri lanka arent strong batting but have decent bowling attacks. windies or pakistan could shock people but dont see them reaching semis. New Zealands players seem a bit absent due to the tragedy back home which is understandable so can't see them going far.

I would say 4 semifinalists should be Ind, SA, Aus, SL.

399/1 were the odds on Ireland to win!!!!!


1/100 were the odds on England after they had batted!!!!

What legends!!!!!!


Ireland for the WC!!!!

1/100 on england after ireland had batted? well that would be the end of the match...

as i speak england beat south africa!!! by 6 runs.

both teams batted poorly apart from trott and bopara who got 50s

and stuart broad bowled 4 for 15

After England had batted, not after Ireland had batted

"they" referring to England!


You arent quite as "intelligent and enigmatic" as you like to think

yeah i was just asking what you meant thats strange odds really so the bookies reckoned ireland could chase it down?

The bookies reckoned Ireland had absolutely no chance!

You dont really understand betting odds alex?

1/100 would give you £1 for every £100 you bet Alex.

Meaning they gave Ireland Sweet FA of a chance

^ In that match England went to 1/5000 at one point.

meh i get confused wth which way round they go which is why id suck at betting! apart from my skills betting on klose to equal that record in the world cup
