'Morning guys, I'm sorry for the delay but I live in Europe and I wasn't able to log in earlier.
I'm looking at the T20 games right now, probably a play in one hour or so.

[jed81]

TO be in Europe you cap Baseball well . How long you been capping MLB ??

Not too much, probably since 2011 season iirc, maybe the fact that I'm not a fan and mostly a stats guy helps me, don't know...
Anyway it was only a very lucky day!

#21 Cricket - ICC World T20
Pakistan to beat West Indies @1.91 (*2u)

It's another quarter-final kind of match but this time the prize is a semifinal and maybe a probable final against India and I'm sure all Pakistan will stick to the tv tonight cheering for their heroes.
As you might know I'm a big WI fan but I absolutely don't get why their price dropped from 2.04 to 1.95 during the night making this a 50%-50% for many bookies.
T20 H2H: Pakistan leads 2-1 (2-0 in 2013).
H2H played in the subcontinent: none, and this could mean I should back Pakistan as they could get a field advantage probably not heavy factored in the odds.
ICC T20 Rankings: Pakistan 121 (3rd) West Indies 113 (5th). This isn't really a plus because rankings are not perfect but it's pretty obvious there's no value on backing WI below evens.
PAK bowlers v WI batsmen: obviously the most interesting matchup but definitely in favour of Pakistan which can lineup Hafeez and Ajmal, two guys who perfectly match WI weaknesses. Also I'm curious to see Gul in action since the man looks really in form (6 wickets in the tournament so far, btw) and could be the perfect secret weapon for the asians.
Of course WIndies strenght is the depth of batting lineup: for example Sammy, the captain usually at #6, is probably at his batting peak especially after that effort against Australia, but it has to be said that they have no standout players, since Gayle looks in the descending part of his amazing career and Samuels is probably out of shape.
Not saying they're poor, Pakistan will have to bowl them all out if they want to be sure to get the qualification, but atm they do not have a 60's kind of guy able to push them in the position to win such a game during their inning. Plus the matchup vs PAK bowlers is pretty much in opponents favour as I said.
WI bowlers v PAK batsmen: PAK batting order looks a lot like WIndies one, with solid depth but definitely no star players (at least WIndies have Gayle) but Shehzad and U Akmal have been lethal it in this tournament. Shehzad (138 runs) is 3rd in SR with 164.28 after 84 balls faced and I think Akmal, probably at #4 in the order, could be the hidden underrated gem for Pakistan.
Badree (7 wickets and a 10.28 SR in 12.0 overs) is for sure the #1 T20 bowler in the world at the moment but he can bowl only 4 overs out of 20 so it's too little to give WIndies a clear advantage. Also sky is the limit for Sunil Narine of course, but he's not in outstanding form and for the current #1 in the world ranking is already a news, and I'm much more scared by Santokie, who's never faced Pakistan and he's, along with Badree, the key man in this matchup.
Anyway the first matchup is clearly in PAK favour, the second one could be slightly for Windies.
Not much value in this bet but I feel pretty confident after a very good WT20 for me so I pull the trigger even if with 2u only.
If WIndies will win at least I can celebrate my team!

[TheSportsAnalyst]

It's not looking good for my bet at the pause.

WIndies closed their inning at 166/6
Usual but always incredible closing effort by Bravo and Sammy.
But in my opinion Hafeez captaincy was aful: why he left Tanvir out until the 20th? They needed a break since they started allowing runs in the 16th and he waited lining up the shapest bowler too much. They wasted a superb bowling game in just 2/3 overs.
If you let Windies to get confidence you're pretty much screwed.

At least I should have my team able to defend their title in the semis, good day anyway!

West Indies 166/6 v Pakistan 82

West Indies won by 84 runs

LOSS -2.00u


No regrets about the bet, especially considering the stake: best team during the 40 overs won.
Pakistan mentally destroyed already during their inning, was pretty obvious.

Can't wait for the semis!

Sri Lanka v West Indies is scheduled for Thursday and on Friday we'll have India v South Africa

Not sure about handball, don't know if you have access to some european bookie.

Basketball, cricket and Ice Hockey should be ok.

[GiveMeaBJ]

Not seeing it at 5d, let me check other account.

[GiveMeaBJ]

Nope no access unless 5dimes throws it up soon, sometimes they post this whacky shit late.

lol 5dimes has Sweden and not Norway?

Weird.
