Someone in the last thread linked to an analysis that said scores match much closer to simply scoring ~150 off the last 20 as long as you had wickets in hand. Going by that Ireland are well on track.

Good to see England giving Morgan a lifeline, after not making the Irish team based on current form.

Do the West Indies speak English to each other? I genuinely cannot tell.

So do they not do the WASP thing in the World Cup games? Is that stat owned by a particular broadcaster or something silly like that?

I wonder if the DJ is aware that reggae artists exist who aren't Bob Marley

Windies have used 8 bowlers. Do they know the cup has started and this isn't another warm up match?

they don't have a decent spinner and apparently slow bowling is what works on this pitch

-Spiffy- posted:gently caress it must be depressing being a long time Windies fan. It is. They don't even look like they care which, given the shambles the WICB is in, isn't surprising. I think Ireland will win by the 41st over.

webmeister posted:big bats these days mate i tell ya what gabensraum posted:When I was a kid the rule of thumb was, unless a lot of wickets had fallen, you'd double the score at 30 overs gone to get an idea of the total. I haven't looked at recent trends but wouldn't be surprised if half the winner's score is made at about 35 overs gone now. gabensraum posted:I was about to suggest that the score required under Duckworth-Lewis should the heavens upon up immediately is probably the best way to see how a team is going.

Bit of a shame the next world cup won't have the same opportunities for a minnow upset.

ireland have currently scored 100 more runs than the West Indies had until this point - they've consistently been around 6.5 runs an over at all points while the West Indies didn't score at all between 10 and 35, but then west mental at the end. You can tell they don't care with that drop

I don't know, that was the captain, he seemed mad with himself. If anyone in the team cares it should be the captain at least

They did it in 2007 and that was a very bad tournament, but that was for reasons other than the structure (although the super 8s are lovely)

They did it in 2007 and that was a very bad tournament, but that was for reasons other than the structure (although the super 8s are lovely) Funnily enough I think the reason for the current tournament's structure is so that every team was guaranteed 6 games at least. And now the minnows are being removed because there are too many games in the tournament? how does that work, just change up the structure.

the 2019 tournament is currently scheduled to have more games, and last longer even though the associates are being removed. Because more ODIs between the same countries are what everyone wants!!! This is why its perfectly correct to hope that the Associates (as well as Zimbabwe and Bangladesh because the qualifying system proposed pretty much treats them in the same way) do very well and a few of the full members get knocked out in the groups

They did it in 2007 and that was a very bad tournament, but that was for reasons other than the structure (although the super 8s are lovely) India and Pakistan both got knocked out early and it cost the ICC eyes on TVs in the subcontinent, so they've had to safeguard against it in future events. The next one has a round-robin format with just ten teams - that way India can play at least nine games, growing the game in associate nations be damned

Wow this is taking way longer than it should have. Windies seem to have completely given up having seen that fielding by Gayle, which is sad because taking those wickets put them back into it a bit.
