hello all sajhaties,

this is my attempt to cure some of our ICC Cricket World cup fever by playing online version of World Cup cricket (to the one who doesnt like cricket: do not worry it will not consist of too many rules and it certainly wont take your whole day either)....it will be more like of a prediction game ....the similar to what we earlier did during NFL...i was highly impressed y it and huge number of responses...i can only hope it will be the same for WC Cricket

...so here is what is in store for the game:

PREDICTION MODEL

You must predict:

1. The game outcome (team 1 win, team 2 win or draw)

2. The margin of victory (i.e. runs difference AND wickets difference*)

* In cricket the judge of victory is determined by the coin toss, and as we won't know until each game starts how the victory will be determined, you must pick both options.

Points are awarded as follows:

Win Point (WP) 1.0 (for round robin, Super 8), 2 (for semi-finals), and 3 (for the final)

Margin Point (MP) 0.5
(A Margin Point will be awarded to every player whose margin prediction is within 30 runs of the real run margin or 3 wickets of the real wicket margin. You must correctly predict the winner of the game in order to qualify for a Margin Point.)


Bonus Point (BP) 1.0 Scored by player(s) whose margin prediction(s) is/are the closest to the actual margin. Each if the players will get 1 whol epoint point in case of ties. Once again, you must get the game outcome right (i.e. earn a WP) in order to qualify for BP.

i didn't make it too completed, did i ?

I will provide the scoreboard (which will be in an Excel spreadsheet, remember its online version we are playing) every week on saturdays after the saturday's game outcome

so, we ready for the toss?

P.S. There will be a 'trophy' for the winner ...the more the number of players, the bigger the trophy. It's a promise that wil lbe kept.

Result of Game 3:

India 413/5 (50 ov)
Bermuda 156 (43.1 ov)

India won by 257 runs

"This is the largest margin of victory, in terms of runs, in the history of one-day internationals. They win by 257 runs. India went into this game, needing to win and win it big. And they have done it. Now all attention will be on Bangladesh v Sri Lanka game. If Bangladesh win, then the race would come down between India and Sri Lanka. If Sri Lanka win against Bangladesh, the net run rate comes into play. So get out your calculators and get ready to do some maths."

Result of Game 4:

Zimbabwe 202/5 (50 ov)
West Indies 204/4 (47.5 ov)

West Indies won by 6 wickets (with 13 balls remaining)

"West Indies win this match at last - and are into the Super Eights - with a victory that was inevitable as soon as they Zimbabwe three down really early on. What was surprising was the hard work they made of the victory in the end, Zimbabwe just about making it over 200 and then West Indies taking their time to get to their victory which was, at least, always expected. "It's good to get it over with," says Chris Gayle after the match, who chuckles when asked if he had Herschelle Gibbs's six sixes in mind as he sent the first three balls of one over into orbit."

Scotland 186/8 (50 ov)
South Africa 188/3 (23.2 ov)

South Africa won by 7 wickets (with 160 balls remaining)

"... Another minnow bashing from them. Smith looted a 65-ball 91, de Villiers pinched a fifty and Prince got some time in the middle. Good day's work for SA."

Result of Game 6:

New Zealand 331/7 (50 ov)
Kenya 183/10 (49.2 ov)

New Zealand won by 148 runs

"New Zealand piled up 331 for 7, with fifties from four of the top five. Ravi Shah topscored with 71 for Kenya, but he knew it was a losing cause."

7 Runs Per over with 10 wickets, SL is going to Score a BIG Total.
Todays prediction in SL VS BAN.

SL WIN with at least 150 runs. BANGLADESH should have Batted First !

Does anyone have the link to view NZ VS ZIM ??

Result of Game 7:

Sri Lanka 318/4 (50 ov)
Bangladesh 112 (37.0/46 ov)

Sri Lanka won by 198 runs (D/L method)

"A comprehensive victory for Sri Lanka. All eyes now turn to the crucial Sri Lanka-India game on Friday, March 23. "


Result of Game 8:

Pakistan 349 (49.5 ov)
Zimbabwe 99 (19.1/20 ov)

Pakistan won by 93 runs (D/L method)

"Pakistan have won the match by 93 runs (D/L) but both sides are eliminated and Ireland will join West Indies in the Super Eights. "

"Inzamam leads the side off for the final time, acknowledges the applause and shakes hands with all the Zimbabwe side who have come on to meet and congratulate the Pakistan side. The rest of the Pakistan squad are also on the field and he hugs them all in turn as they applaud him."

as for my personal prediction, i think sri lanka (taking into account their current form) will win tomorrow's match against India...but then i kinda also want to see India in super Eights which would make it more interesting, for which they have to win ...so, i am in dilemma, i guess

Result of Game 9:

Scotland 136 (34.1 ov)
Netherlands 140/2 (23.5 ov)

Netherlands won by 8 wickets (with 157 balls remaining)

"The Dutch bowlers put in a disciplined performance to restrict Scotland to 136 and ten Doeschate and Zuiderant polished off the run chase. Netheralnds finish their World cup campaign with a win and Scotland have three defeats to reflect on. It's the end of the World Cup for both these teams."

Result of Game 10:

New Zealand 363/5 (50 ov)
Canada 249 (49.2 ov)

New Zealand won by 114 runs

"Dhaniram, who retired hurt, doesn't bother to come back out to bat and that completes proceedings at St Lucia, with a comprehensive victory for New Zealand. They are certainly looking like strong contenders at this early stage of the competition. Canada's performances in the group just got better, however, and they did very well today, giving the Kiwis some decent practice. Davison (52 runs in 31 balls) was at his brilliant best, too, with some entertainment early on."

Result of Game 11:

Sri Lanka 254/6 (50 ov)
India 185 (43.3 ov)

Sri Lanka won by 69 runs

"Massively disappointed faces in the Indian dressing-room. The players are gutted. You can see it on their faces. The whole team is out and the expressions are all of utter dismay.

On the other side the Sri Lankans are celebrating. The players, the fans ... they're having a ball. India are all but knocked out of the World Cup"

Result of Game 12:

Ireland 183/8 (48/48 ov)
West Indies 190/2 (38.1/48 ov)

West Indies won by 8 wickets (with 59 balls remaining) (D/L method)

"Shiv Chanderpaul lead the charge with his first World Cup century. A convincing victory for West Indies here, they were never challenged, in truth. But, of course, Ireland now have the chance to move on to the Super Eights, where, in the words of their stand-in captain Kyle McCallan, they're not aiming for eighth spot."

Result of Game 13:

Australia 377/6 (50 ov)
South Africa 294 (48.0 ov)

Australia won by 83 runs

"Three events halted the frenetic run-chase: Watson's throw to run out de Villiers. Kallis walking in at no 3 and batting the way he did. Perhaps, Gibbs could have been promoted. And then Smith cramping up. And Australia started hussling the batsmen. Pressure was intense, the required rate started rocketing and one by one, the batsmen went down."

Result of Game 14:

Kenya 177 (43/43 ov)
England 178/3 (33.0/43 ov)

England won by 7 wickets (with 60 balls remaining)

"Well, a comprehensive win for England there, outclassing Kenya emphatically. "

Result of Game 15:

Bermuda 94/9 (21/21 ov)
Bangladesh 96/3 (17.3/21 ov)

Bangladesh won by 7 wickets (with 21 balls remaining) (D/L method)

"So Bangladesh seal the deal amidst the gloom. They have successfully knocked India out of a berth in the Super Eights courtesy a seven-wicket win. Bermuda played with a lot of spirit and enthusiasm but it just seemed to drop when Saqibul and Ashraful strung together a partnership. They paid the price for some wayward bowling, conceding 13 wides and three no-balls.

Bangladesh deserve all credit for the level of maturity they've shown in both their victories. "
