T20 World Cup

I see. That said, what about other sports? I follow everything related to Manchester - follow maybe too strong a word, I don't watch rugby, for example, but I'll look out for Salford's results. In fact I'll back anything Manchester.

We don't have any sport other than cricket here in India for the most part. There's a rivalry in football -- Mohun Bagan and East Bengal. That's probably the only rivalry in any domestic sport in all of India. Domestic rivalry doesn't exist in India.

I don't 'support' Chennai in the IPL the same way I support India in any sport, either. I want them to win when I watch them, but it doesn't really matter. There are some(well, lots.. India's full of them) gimps who think that T20's a true test of skill and are big fans of their local franchises, but all of them are idiots.
 
I'd fecking love the Windies to take this out, and then go onto win the whole thing.

Just fecking love it.

As the first man goes.
 
2/5 = By putting £5 on you make £2 profit meaning a total return of £7 as your stake is returned in your bet if you win any bet.

2/1 = By putting £1 on you make £2 profit meaning a total return of £3.


So if we put £10 on each -

£10 on at 2/5 = £4 win + stake = £14

£10 on at 2/1 = £20 win + stake = £30.



Hope thats a bit clearer mate?

Yeah but if Manchester had a 20/20 franchise(I hate that term) and it played in a GPL(global), I'd want them to win.
 
Gayle's going to batter Sidebottom, I think. I didn't think he bowled well yesterday.
 
I wish Marlon Samuels wasn't bad.

He'd have battered all comers in this T20 shit.

I want them to win too but it's just a money spinner. It gets boring real fast, trust me. It's kinda fun having a bit of banter at uni with people who're from other states, but by the time you're in the semi-finals, you've seen 10 matches of the same dross served up and you're waiting for the IPL to feck off.
 
feck me, that could have been the catch of the tournament.

I'm excited about seeing Adil Rashid bowl. Been waiting years to have a look.
 
W Indies are flying. Saying that its not hard when you can lose a wicket an innings as long as you get a 6 per over pretty much.

Yeh, certainly is.

Don't and can't really do any betting at 16, hence my underwelming knowledge about the bookies and such.

Thanks though.

having matches everyday doesn't help either. if they adapted the format like the football leagues then it might work.

You're 16? I thought you'd be a bit older.

Bravo's the big wicket now. Come on Bravo, I want England out

Yeah, I'm not surprised. Maybe they could structure it better, though. Create a proper league - like the PL, La Liga et al.
 
What a useless shower of fecking bottlers.

At least Bravo's still in.

Him and Sarwan are just about the last line for the West Indies.
 
Wrong time to ask, but is anyone watching this on a stream? Mines fecking up!
 
This fella Pollard was named by Brian Lara as his successor.

Let's hope he works out a bit better than D'Allessandro.

Why did you think i was older? :(

And most if not every indian has probably tuned in to just watch England get knocked out after yesterday. My mum is watching for that sole reason :lol:
