if they didnt take that into account the targets set would be an awful lot lower, it has a bad perception but its rarely far off being fair these days, works pretty well in most scenarios (certainly better than its predecessor!)

If we look at the comparative run rates of T20 and the 50 overs game it does seem that 190 for 9 is easier to get in say 25 overs than 325 for 9 in 50.

The algorithm used does not appear to fully factor the depth of batting these days.

yep its almost a year since it was updated, another iteration cant be far away. doesnt help they try and hide the program and algorithm rather than making them publicly available

I suppose I must just accept that there never will be a perfect system that can cater for all the vagaries of the game.

Another day, another farce from the ECB circus:

Not surprised to read that he doesn't exactly seem to enjoy whole hearted support from the rest of the squad.

shame the captain couldnt use his own words rather than those he was fed, pretty sure those words are pretty similar to a few years ago by the ECB!

Wow even for the ECB this takes the biscuit, not happy with killing the domestic 50 over comp next year, theyve decided to try and ensure no one watches this years final by scheduling an England v Australia WC warm up game the same day, both on sky!

Farcical especially given the post from Tongo. The ECB makes FIFA look like an upfront, honest and cohesive unit. Why do they seem hell bent in killing the 50 over domestic game and what will be their excuse when it comes to England failures in that format with no players getting experience and learning their craft at county level

 

[fundy]

weve not even got onto the timing of them blacklisting Clarke and Kohler Cadmore when theyre taking flack lol

I have no time for the ECB but there's one common denominator in the Hales and Clarke/Koehler cases.

Disgracefully immature and reprehensible behaviour by spoilt young men.

If the players just grew up there would be a lot less for the ECB to mess up.

couldnt agree more with the first part, or less with the second

if the ECB had such a problem then they shouldve done it in January not today when theyre taking it from all angles. time and time again they try and brush stuff under a carpet then over react when it inevitably becomes public knowledge, they are utterly spineless and refuse to implement their own rules until they get pressured to do so by facts becoming public. this on the day where theyve admitted they only banned hales because it became public lol

Indeed but to admit that he still would have been part of the WC plans if it all hadnt become public is farcicle.

I find Morgan rather irritating and, at times, an ECB mouthpiece. Dont believe this sanctimonious view from the dressing room either, especially as Stokes is part of it after that debacle.

The inference I drew from that was that the rest of the squad appeared to be making the decision.

Seems like the ECB couldn't impose sanctions due to confidentiality clauses but once the Guardian lifted the lid the squad and coaches took the decision for them.

As Giles said the current system for dealing with these issues need reviewing otherwise the tail will continue to wag the dog.

Eng making a meal against the Irish. I hope Eng lose this one.. would be a good wake up call.

The Irish are pretty good in the field. You wonder how good they would be if they shed a few pounds.

 

[Tongo]

Disappointed for Ireland. Would have been another in the eye for the ICC and their ridiculous 10 team World Cup. Impressive start from Josh Little. The Irish need a few young players to take over from their golden generation.

 

[3offTheTee]

OK Fundy another question.

Lanci qualified for 1 day cup Semi Final, which I am pleased about, but they have a worse run rate than Durham but have won more matches. When I read the Rules earlier it said run rate took precedence.

Kindly clarify.

Thanks

 

[fundy]

Number of wins takes precedence. From the playing conditions:

16.11.4 The tie-breakers for teams finishing on equal points will
be:
16.11.4.1 Most wins in Group matches
16.11.4.2 If still equal, the team with the higher net run
rate in the Group Matches will be placed in the
higher position (see below).
16.11.4.3 If still equal, the teams will be ordered
according to which team achieved the most
points in the matches played between them.
16.11.4.4 In the event that teams cannot be separated by
16.11.4.1 to 16.11.4.3 above, this will be done
by drawing lots.

Funday!

This is from The cricketer:

In the event two or more sides finish on the same number of points in the group phase, net run-rate across the competition will determine who finishes higher.

However I am happy as I read the above and thought Lanci would not qualify so very happy.

BTW

I have entered you on Mastermind for Cricket in the next series!

Many thanks

On a disappointing day football wise the Mighty Somerset win to go back to Lords for the RLC final - Tom Banton just getting better and better , another player who will prob be ignored by England
