Cricket, Festivity and Prediction - It Is Show Time for Australians
Queensland, February 25, 2015 (Newswire.com) - Australia and New Zealand are brimming with excitement and people are boiling in the anticipation of the new champions of the ICC Cricket World Cup, as the barometer of competitive pressure is gradually rising in the land of the kangaroos and the kiwis.
As with all other major sports tournaments, gossips are on the air regarding the prospect of probable contenders for the coveted trophy. No wonder, participating teams have their fan bases, who are busy sending prayers for winning performances of their sporting heroes. But in the end, only one nation will be crowned as the world champions for the next four years.
It is this inevitability and intense action that makes these sporting events so exciting. Fans resort to strange ways for reassuring themselves of the chances of their nation to emerge as the winner and their favorite players to perform brilliantly. When statistical analysis and expert opinions does not suffice, they seek predictions from astrologers and psychics too!
Take for example, Jeanette Jones, who is a psychic in Brisbane. Brisbane is home of the Gabba, which one of the favorite hunting grounds for Aussie cricketers – a stadium that has witnessed creation of folklores and some out-of-this-world cricketing performances. It is this legacy that has made Jeanette the center of psychic enthusiasts in Brisbane and Gold Coast.
“The accuracy of my psychic readings depends on vis-à-vis encounters with the person for whom I am working on… It is not possible to say with certainty which team will go all the way to win the World Cup, but from what I can observe through the cosmic planning; Australia, South Africa, India and England have high chances of making it to the semifinals… At this moment, it is not possible for me to say anything beyond that… I also want to express my concerns about match fixing and all the green eyed monsters that mars the clean image of the game… My opinions are my own, and it does not have anything to do with betting and all… “, said Jeanette, in a recent interview.
Whatever the outcome is, one thing is for sure – cricket lovers from all over the world are going to enjoy their time during this World Cup. It may be a spectacle for some or a debacle for another, but in the end, cricket wins.
