    ***Official***Semi-Final #1- India vs New Zealand - November 15th - Wankhede, Mumbai (D/N)

    Cricinfo Win Probability: NZ 14.43% • IND 85.57% It just doesn’t move from 85% despite any events in the match lmao. Goofy ass system.

    It's far too rigid though imo.

    ***Official***Semi-Final #1- India vs New Zealand - November 15th - Wankhede, Mumbai (D/N)

    I have been following the cricinfo odds this WC and they are far worse than any edge you may get in the $$$ odds imo. It just seems like a terrible and broken win probability system.

    ***Official***Semi-Final #1- India vs New Zealand - November 15th - Wankhede, Mumbai (D/N)

    I might very well slip on the sword of probability here but there is no way that India are below, conservatively, 90% in this situation. I say this as a cynical and pessimistic India fan. More than anything, what is weird is that if 397/4 is 85%, how was 150/1 82%?

    How the **** does cricinfo probability model have India only at 85.69% at 397 in 50 overs. It was already about 82% when India was 150/1 at 20 overs. It just seems suss af and capped in some dodgy way. The odds have India at roughly 95% favourite which seems about right.

    Luka and Kyrie in the last 2 games have averaged just 29 minutes each of playing time and have made an average combined 68 points, 13 assists and 11 rebounds per game with combined shooting splits of 63/60/92 on 20 three attempts per game and a combined true shooting % above 80%. Mavs are now...

    Matthew Hayden vs VVS Laxman

    Also, Laxman as a player is the hardest to pin down with an average. In 2009 and 2010, Gambhir, Sehwag and Tendulkar all took turns to be the No.1 batsman in the test rankings. I doubt Laxman cracked anything outside a top 10 ranking. Yet in the 2010/11 season, where he scored just one century...

    Matthew Hayden vs VVS Laxman

    Without commenting on the thread question, the premise of your post itself is incorrect. Laxman averaged 49.8 as a middle order batsman over 102 tests and a longer year duration than Hayden’s entire career. So if your comparison is off middle order Laxman to Opener Hayden, those are the numbers...

    Mavs are 6-1 and second in the league. The best part for me is that this is not a team hard carried by Luka. Luka was extraordinary in the first 3 games but since has been very up and down, especially with the turnovers. However, Kyrie has basically taken over half of Luka’s facilitation duties...

    Which side’s performance in WC is/was more impressive?

    India at that point had only won 1 WC game in the last 2 world cups (against East Africa in 1975) and had a 12-28 record in ODIs so far. India were 66-1 underdogs to win the world cup in 1983 which is better than Bangladesh: 100/1 (101.0), Afghanistan: 125/1 (126.0) and Netherlands: 1000/1...

    Greg Chappell Today

    Not really feeling either extreme here. If a non-rich journalist or an author, for example, that I enjoyed reading for years was hard up to the extent of asking for donations, I’d throw him a small contribution out of sentimental value even if they were upper middle class before and not do a...

    If Virat Kholi wins a 2nd 50 over world cup he will be the goat

    If he dominates this WC and is the MOTS, he will be the 3rd best ODI player after Viv and Sachin, IMO. Sachin has been the highest scorer in 1996 and 2003. He was also the second highest scorer and the highest for India in the successful 2011 campaign. Great performances and aggregates overall...

    20 Greatest ODIs (by ESPNCricinfo)

    438 v 434 was a great game but I hate the partial impact it becoming so iconic had in the process of the making of the 280-320 par modern 'competitive' ODI game cycle.

    Jrue is a player whose shooting % has taken an absolute beating in the playoffs every season in MIL (3 seasons total). It reduces for almost every player but I think his has to be one of the highest for a decent sample size and the most notable in the recent past. This is a pattern every single...

    Man, they still entered the series comfortable odds favourites regardless of the win gap. The series was still winnable early on. The first game had a 2 point gap for example, with Dame going 2/8 in the 4th quarter while the rest of the team fought back. There are mitigating factors about...

    I think the expectations were too high from him early on. He is a heck of a talent who was putting up 18/11 on default from day 1 and is actually a decent defender. He also had a very good finals run in 2021. He was just expected to be this powerhouse old school center who is at the rim on both...

    In 2018 first round, they were the 3rd seed and were generous odds favourites to win (-250) the series against 6th seed New Orleans. They were swept in large part due to Dame having a 18/4/4 series with 4 turnovers a game shooting an atrocious 35% from the field and 30% from 3 on 8 attempts a...

    The criticism is that he has lost multiple playoff series due to him performing poorly - I) against weaker teams that his team was favoured to win against or II) got absolutely destroyed by some stronger playoff teams with Dame hardly putting up a fight.
