Each goal is worth: 2pts in r16 match, 3pt in qf match, 5pts in sf/3rd place playoff, 10pts in final.

There is a World Cup competition organised by Kogan and the prize money is $1 Million dollars, if you pick 48 games correct (Win, Loss, Draw).

Obviously, the odds are ridiculous (3^48 = 8E+22), however it's a free lotto ticket.

Anyone see the mankad runout (is that what its called lol)

‘Mankad’ dismissal leaves England seething as Sri Lanka win one-day international series

http://www.dailytelegraph.com.au/sp...rnational-series/story-fni2fnmo-1226942484608
Sounds like Butler was given warnings to stop backing up so early. If that is so, Mankad is fair enough but you really try to avoid doing it unless the batsmen at bowlers end is not taking any notice of the courtesy of a warning by your team.
