They blew that.
Topsy turvy game, Ireland were on top than Zimbabwe fought back and in the end both teams incredibly tied.
So my bet became void.
Looking at the NZ-England game tonight for my first substantial bet of the tournament
Big game tonight with England playing the Kiwis. I honestly believe these wickets will suit the more steady medium pacers of the Kiwis and at the end of the day it is the bowling of the respective teams that is going to win/lose this game not the batting with both stacked in that department. If anything I like the hitting power of the Kiwis late in the order - one reason why I have them making the SF's this tournament.
New Zealand to beat England - (-122) (3.5)
This game should also provide some decent in running opportunites. :shake:

Nice hit w/the Kiwis. I'm pretty much waiting for the 2nd round before betting.

Pakistan fix yet another match, and it costs their coach his life.
Truly horrible performance by the Indians, another big player bites the dust in this world cup :down:

Woolmer murdered. Just like the Indians (what a disgrace the sub continent has been. they only win against each other). Its a bloody World Cup.

Placed a bet on the Windies to beat NZ, just a small one. I'm suspicious of the Windies paying so much.

Doesnt suprise me NZ won, does suprise me how pathetic that WIndies effort was.

I must say I'm suprised the WIndies are getting this little love for what is essentially their do or die effort. Sri Lanka maybe a better side, but they're hardly the equal of that SRL side who won the WCup all those years ago, meaning to me home advantage is a real advantage, and I very much doubt a repeat of the lineup implosion Lara decided on vs NZL with whats at stake here.
I fine it equally unlikely the WIndies put in 2 limp efforts in a row, and Gayle showed signs of the kind of form he's been lacking for sometime, and is which his side needs vs SRL, against NZ. He, Lara, Sarwan & Chanderpaul - 3 of those 4 come off, theres no way these odds are anywhere near accurate. Their bowling maybe suspect, but we all know what happens to SRL if Jayasuriya fails - whether the rest of the lineup succeeds in his wake is a hit or miss affair. I have to have some of the WIndies at +170
-----------------------------------------------------------------
My biggest fear/threat manifested - Jayasuriya came off. Even so, the WIndies looked to be in ok/good shape at 134/3, but then their uselessness came to the fore.

NZ .... Get it Quick
Hey folks, first pick in CTG, Getting down to the business end now, for NZ anyway with games against SL, AUS and SA too cement there position on top of table.
Anyway im liking 1.80 on NZ to beat SL 2morow as it seems MAlinga is doubtful with ankle injury and i think we are better team anyway.
Taylor will be bak and we did beat SL in warmups.. in saying that we lost to bangladesh but hey, nobody questions there performance now.
You guys can probly get SL at +100 outside of NZ, so any thoughts,
Rod wont like this but.....Better yet get us at +400 2 win

Welcome to the site, morbe. I think you'll find NZ the fav to whatever degree at any book if Malinga isnt playing.
And I should add you can use the edit feature at this site.:cheers:

lol don't think I have come across a bigger Kiwi homer on the internet then yourself, it's either the Warriors, the NZ league team or the NZ cricket team isn't it. I don't want to be around when the Rugby world cup comes around
On a serious note, Kiwis have played well and that's probably more down to their balance in the side in both bowling and batting. Vetorri is going to be the real key for your boys in the later stages of this tournament IMO. However their real test is the next few games to see where they really stand in the pecking order
Look forward to discussing the w/end footy with ya here :cheers:
