Hmm, but if the first ball was a no-ball, I think you'll find that their projected score was infinity runs.

I did the math and it checks out. duckworth lewis was off the charts

Umpires should be allowed to laugh at/give a sendoff to batsmen in situations like that.

An idea: The number of stumps the ball is hitting is how many reviews it costs. Boom finch just used 2 reviews.

The exact moment was the dropped catch.

When they did the split screen vision just watching bowlers reaction as catch was dropped all i could think was The Simpsons: "you can see the exact moment his heart breaks"

I know we laugh about the stupid control percentage stat, but how is Watto at 88% when he has spend most of his innings flailing at bouncers and trying to get out?

Flailing without contact = "left ball"


What the actual gently caress was that maxwell

In my experience it's only really cricket people who've been interested in the World Cup, partly because it's dragged on for so long at the tail end of a long summer, and also because only the Australian games have been shown on FTA TV. In terms of engaging the general public, the tournament's been a massive failure, and stands in total contrast to the Asian Cup where everyone was watching and talking about it.

This has been my experience as well. Apart from a few flags in the city theres no information that its even on and the vast majority of people cant watch the games anyway
