Got tickets for the final :dance: :ladynana: :woohoo:


They were really expensive as well at £60 so it better not turn out to be a repeat of the World Cup last year with teams like Bangladesh and Ireland making it through :censored:

Hopefully it'll be a Sth Africa vs Australia final with each team scoring more than 200 runs.

So you in?

There was a World Cup last year? :unsure:

Sorry, I thought this was the actual thread for the tournament.


Yes I'm in.


Edit - World cup two years ago in 07

It might as well be the official thread.

We'll see

I guess I'm in too.

Yep me too.

Might get tickets for a couple of games here, know a cricket fanatic who sorted them out for the Champions Trophy a few years ago and some England-India one-dayers so we'll see.

I'll be boycotting this competition. :coffee:

It should have more protesters than Beijing'08, tbh.








Oh go on then!

I'm in.

I'm too ashamed to say I want in, so I'll be posting my approval by an emoticon.


:good:

I'll have India, thanks. :good:

4 more names needed

Y'know what will happen don't you?


Ach will suddenly get India ( :rolleyes: )

And I'll be drawn with Bangladesh :banghead:

There is nothing to read here.

Scotland? WTF

I demand a redraw.

Sorry, tis the draw.

Any complaints then PM Ach.

Wouldn't mind Sri Lanka in the real thing*






*Not to be taken seriously...

If Ach gets India :threaten:

And if I get Pakistan :threaten: :threaten:

I have a message from Ach.

He's just told me that an Indian poster will be drawn India.


Make of that what you will.

Guess it's LG, then.

Can a mod please delete the last few posts please?

At least delete the one with your fake draw in it so people dont get confused

Harsh but fair.

I'll be in.

:good:

3 more needed

does your racist policy of posters declaring their interest still count?


because I can name at least 12 posters who'd enjoy participating in this sweepstakes.

Yes it does and if any of those 12 were interested, they would have put their name in already so youre wrong, they arent interested at all

6 of those 12 have yet to see this thread, and they've told me - face to face - that they are interested.

Who are the 12 then?

As a mod, I have certain confidentiality contracts and agreements that I must oblige to.

I cannot - on the board - name 9 of these 12, but I can name 3.

Name 3

Rors, PGFC and Chris.

Rors has disappeared

PGFC has been on enough to see this thread and doesnt want to by the looks of it.

Chris is hardly on

Okay I'll stop being a dick and be serious.

What will you do if you don't have 3 posters to sign up, what will be the future of this sweepstakes?

If we can't fill the list up with GW posters, we could try recruiting on Arsenal-mania. :good:

There still months to go yet.

It'll be fine.

There is no contingency plan.

Its why i start sweepstakes so frelling early

I have a contingency plan:

Give me: India, Australia and South Africa. :good:

No one will be given any team.

They will be chosen at random as are all my sweepstakes.

Only fixed sweepstake in GW history was your one and even then, the team you got just survived relegation or something

At least I admit I'm a crook.

Unlike you, so you're worse than me.


With Toure de Emirates in space, I'll be doing the Bundesliga sweeps again, and guess what I'll fix that as well.

Il admit it if i did it
