Not much value here at the moment. Will be waiting to hope west indies bat first and can get some money on their innings runs between 160-200

Any news on the weather? I fancy over 36.5 boundaries but want to know if we will get a full game in before I bet.

cmm is 1.3, suggests rain

I like ireland at 12ish today, on paper definately not as bad as they showed in the aus game and very capable in this format with some very good quality hitters of the ball, along with possible d/l intervention according to the pundits
 and not forgeting the windes ability to panic / collapse/ implode just seems to be decent price for a profitable trade later in the game |
|
By:
Certainly think they'll enjoy batting against the slower pace of the West Indies bowlers compared to Starc in the previous game.
Don't think they'll win but could definitely be room for a good trade or 2 in this if Windies don't bat first AND bat them out of the game. A couple of quick wickets (Gayles) if they do and things would look interesting. |

Seen a couple of tweets this morning suggesting rest of tournie forecast looking bleak
Could be lots of short games coming sadly if correct |

Does anyone have any decent links to radar/weather sites for Sri Lanka?
|
|
By:
why o why did the ICC pick september/october for this tournament ?? Sri Lanka are good choice of hosts , but why not pick a month/time when there is less rain about
|
|
By:
which month could they have chosen?
|
|
By:
another destination
 |

By:
i don't know lix ... but its the tail end of monsoon season over there ...it aint rocket science ...why not pick another window ?
o btw , billies have their total tourney 666666's line at 223.5 ...u know what to do  |
|
By:
good spot that.
|
|
By:
completed match each of two more or less and the irish 12/1 still
|
|
By:
if we get a 5 over contest ...then 12 to 1 will look rather generous don't ya think
|
|
By:
would gladly take a wash out today. Just looked at the table and windies very lucky i reckon to be above ireland. If aus had been allowed to finish the game we might be looking at windies going out with no game today.
 If you were a windies backer, do you want a five over slog, 10 over game or normal t20 match today? |
|
By:
Six or seven overs lanza. Narine bowls 20% of deliveries in normal 20/20 but would be bowling 33% in six over and 28% in a seven over game - big advantage - the Irish batsmen won't have much experience against him if any.

By:
WI in trouble in a 5 over slog. imagine the carnage if Gayle went 1st ball..
|
|
By:
seems odd that you can back a century = No and fifty scored = No at reasonable odds when it is quite likely that the game will get shortened
|
|
By:
when you have a 5 over slog with 10 wickets in hand , even the forum XI might have a shout
|
|
By:
 |
|
By:
 yeah, certainly the odds come down from 12 for Ireland |
|
By:
1.1 now
|
|
By:
CMM 1.8 tho
 |
|
By:
If Ireland win toss & elect to bowl the odds should come down markedly from current level ?
|
|
By:
yes. if it rains and ireland are bowling 1st, they are always in the game given the stupid nature of DL.
|
|
By:
Excuse my ignorance. What is CMM?
|
|
By:
completed match market
|
|
By:

Excuse my ignorance. What is CMM? CMM = completed match market. |
|
By:
cheeky lay of Windies
rude not to |
|
By:
What we want is the feeling that a full match will be played, Ireland bowl, Gayle goes early and the Windies steadily go about building a total until after 5 overs the rain comes down when they are 30/1. Rain clears up leaving Ireland 6 an over to win. Simples.
|
|
By:
I'd say if it starts raining the game will likely be over - lots of rain forecast
|
|
By:
i would take that cardshark
i must tell you though that rain usually does me over on the cricket though particularly 20/20 the amount of times i have had bad beats with D/L is depressing |
|
By:
what annoys me about these situations is we could have 24.5 overs bowled without a result , know what I mean
|
|
By:
maybe windies bowl first ireland 20/5 game over
|
|
By:
thats better pltt.
