The more I watch RCB matches is the more I feel it rigged, they can’t let the golden boy drop off so bad… #KohliJuice wukkin

Match fixing is definitely a possibility but in the IPL there's so much scrutiny as well as careers and reputations on the line that fixing has changed to much smaller things like bowling 2 no balls or something like that.

Things like that can sometimes impact games but the amount of money top players make, they won't risk big games over bribery.

Again not saying it can't happen, I'd be naïve to think otherwise, but let's give RCB credit, they pulled off a great come back

Honestly, I thought they would have given dhoni the fairytale ending in this year's IPL....won't be surprised if RCB go on to win it from here.....bookies would have a field day from here on.

Good match. Kohli need to cool it though, man does always look vex, even when winning.

T20 series between WI and S.A....

We can see the difference between our players and other players from other teams...other players left IPL for international duty whilst Windies players still in India....says a whole lot!

[Dohplaydat]

Going good so far

It's reflected in the results. Obviously they don't care about representing WI.... it's just another paycheck to collect when it don't have franchise cricket going on. That's why they collapse when faced with the slightest adversity.

Yet still people does want to beg them to play for WI and beg them to come out of retirement.

[shake d livin wake d dead]

Let's see if they could win a series today

KKR looking at their 3rd title while Holder has been ruled out of the world cup due to injury

[Dizzy28]

WI with the sweep. Not bad although this isn't SA's first team squad.

WI close to their 1st team though.

Next stop: world cup! At least 7 players missing from WI team, let's see how they do against the aussies on thur

[Dizzy28]

Practice sessions for the teams that here started and well I dunno if I missed a notice in the news but sure would have been nice to know roads around UWI SPEC have been closed off for whoever is utilising that field.

Hyatt have a set of TTDF/TTCG/TTAG men and women patrolling fully kitted out in tactical wear. I'm guessing its one of the big 3 there. I was at Hilton last week where Uganda, NZ and Scotland were alreay set up and barely saw a security much less TT protective services ppl around.

[shake d livin wake d dead]

The windies made 257 against the Aussies in a warm up and won....if only they could do that when the tournament begins.

[Dizzy28]

Cummins and Starc still to join up with the Aussie squad. That will change their bowling attack significantly

One would expect a Windies victory today

[DMan7]

PNG would give WI a run for their money.

[Country_Bookie]

Which channel showing the world cup?

[matix]

ESPN on Flow

[shake d livin wake d dead]

Imo, PNG scored to much, Alzarri very inconsistent ! Windies bowling at the back end would be a problem for them

[Country_Bookie]

ESPN on Flow

Thanks.


Stands fairly empty. I expect to see a lot of that due to the 10.30 AM start times for a lot of these games. But at least the Indian broadcasters happy.

Reading this week that regardless of placing and results once India qualifies for the semis they play in Guyana which is a day game. Similarly once WI qualifies for the semis they play in Trinidad which is a night game.

Seems a bit fixy IMO

WI batsmen need to take some salsa lessons.

They might win but this is not a very convincing performance at all against PNG.

Shakes is right. PNG were about 51/4 when i went out. I was very surprised to see they got to 137.

[bluefete]

Correction: WI might not win this game. Let us see.

DMan7 called it before it started.

WI back to their normal routine.

[DMan7]

I was actually going to post that PNG going to buss WI ass, but I ain't wanted to be too negative.

NRR taking a hit here and that might very well come into play at the end of the group stage.

Correct. When the rain came after 2 overs, WI were in dire straits if NRR had o come into play.

Good effort from PNG.

WI win but Uganda must be licking their chops.

We might have lost if Poor Ann was given out LBW for a duck..... which was the correct decision.
