Today we see the first of the quarter finals as Pakistan take on the West Indies.
Pakistan should be favourites to take this game, but both these teams are rather unpredictable and one cannot really guarantee any of the results going forward.
Join us here from start of play for some real insightful cricket talk.

I have pakies with 56 runs or 4 wickets
Pakistan by 30 runs or 3 wickets.
Pak by 76 runs or 5 wickets
Toss news: West Indies have chosen to bat.
Windies have lost Gayle early.
WI 15/1 after 4 overs
And they lose their second wicket..
All going wrong for the Windies here..
16/2 after 5.1 overs
Devon Smith out.
Bravo out. Windies 16/3
And another wicket down!!
Windies wobbling here..
WI 17/3 after 7 overs
Windies 19/3 after 11 overs
3 runs in the last 5 overs..
Run rate below 2 an over now..
Windies 36/3 after 15 overs
Yawn…..! π
Is this a test match? π
Bring back Ireland.
I have a soft spot for the windies,cause when I played I saw gayle’s attitude at the crease and started to play like him.With a chanderpauls mind. π
The windies should just remember that if they can get a total the pakistanis can self destruct just like they can.
Not many have faith in WI.
SB picks:
Picks for Pakistan 89.01%

Easy solution after 4 wickets for the windies,Pollard has to bat through.Game over

71/7
Windies crumbling now..
71/7 after 27.2 overs
71/8
4 wickets in 9 deliveries..
Shocking..
At 1st I though this was Test cricket now it seems it is a T20 match π
Our margins in wickets are not going to be close!
π
@Richard Ferguson (Comment 27) : Have 2 agree with that one π
@Richard Ferguson (Comment 27) : You never know. A mini collapse from Pakistan always possible.
A mini revival by WINDIES , 13 runs without loss π
Windies 107/8 after 41 overs
112 all out.
I found this tweet hilarious:
‘Watching Chanderpaul crawl to this 50 reminds me of Frodo and that endless journey with his boyfriend in Lord of the Rings.’
@wpw (Comment 34) :
Haha.. That is funny!
This is shocking total for a Quarter final..
Tell me, did anyone inform WI that this is a q-final….
Must be the pitch, now for WI to get 6 wickets before pakies reach the target
@franshark (Comment 37) : No, 7 wickets π
@Jarson (AddicteD) (Comment 38) : Don’t argue, 6 β
Pakistan off to a flyer..
Pak 25/0 after 2 overs
20% of the way there in 12 balls
@Greg (Comment 39) :
Pak 43/0 after 5 overs
Pak 58/0 after 10 overs
One consolation about this game is that I will share in the closest pick point with only 3 others.
Can you believe that nobody went with a Pak win by more than 6 wickets. π
We aren’t even going to get any margin points though. π₯
Still I’ll be back in 2nd after this game.
Pakistan 75/0 (12.6 ov)
Pakistan require another 38 runs with 10 wickets and 37.0 overs remaining
Goodbye West Indies.
@KSA Shark Β© (Comment 44) :
You are smiling, that should put you close to first again?
Pak 85/0 after 16 overs
@KSA Shark Β© (Comment 44) : You never know, still 28 to get, there could still be a few wickets π
@Greg (Comment 49) :
That is wishful thinking in this game..
But you never know..
@Richard Ferguson (Comment 50) : Very wishful, one or two, maybe, but I need six π₯
@Greg (Comment 51) :
I need three for a margin and 5 to get it spot on..
14 needed to win..
Pak win by 10 wickets
@Richard Ferguson (Comment 53) : Well at least I get the win point!
By the way, are you playing superpicks on supersport?
@Greg (Comment 54) :
I dont play any Supersport games.
Is there one for the World Cup?
I go onto Dreamteams to play fantasy league
@Richard Ferguson (Comment 55) : Fantasy league games are a bit too much work for me, started this time out on justrugby, but not really featuring.
Currently supersport has a Barclays Premier, a Local PSL, a champions league and a superrugby game, as well as the superpicks game, am playing all except PSL.
@Greg (Comment 56) : I suck at Fantasy games too π
@Greg (Comment 56) :
Oh okay..
I like the challenge of a fantasy league competition. I put in the time and usually do okay as a result of other people losing interest. I am currently doing quite well in the Super Rugby one, where I am in the top 50 out of 26 000 people.
I do all the SuperBru things, they keep me busy enough..
@Richard Ferguson (Comment 58) : Am doing a few of the Superbru this year, for the first time, can’t get on from the office, their new mobile version is quite nice though, makes it easier. Some decent prizes in the supersport comps, top super picker for the year wins 10K US!
@Greg (Comment 59) :
I will have a look at what they offer in the future.. Might be worth a gamble..
@Richard Ferguson (Comment 58) : [email protected]Richard Ferguson (Comment 58) : Address? Maybe I should give it a go π

@Richard Ferguson (Comment 62) :
Let me know if you are interested.
It’s a bit late now.. but maybe if they have an IPL one we can form a league?
@Richard Ferguson (Comment 63) : I’ll have a look and join up even, I dont know much about the IPL or the players though.
@Jarson (AddicteD) (Comment 64) :
Once you join the Super Rugby one, let me know and you can join in our league..
@Richard Ferguson (Comment 65) : Ok, I’m up and running. Took me a while to get a team with the budget limit π

Its nice that you can still see your Round by Round position.. So we can go head to head per round and see who wins..
@Richard Ferguson (Comment 74) : That’s cool yeah.
