[Cricket] 2019 Cricket World Cup

Can someone tell me the run rate formula please?

“A team’s net run rate is calculated by deducting from the average runs per over scored by that team throughout the competition, the average runs per over scored against that team throughout the competition.

“In the event of a team being all out in less than its full quota of overs, the calculation of its net run rate shall be based on the full quota of overs to which it would have been entitled and not on the number of overs in which the team was dismissed.

“Only those matches where results are achieved will count for the purpose of net run rate calculations. Where a match is abandoned, but a result is achieved under Duckworth/Lewis/Stern, for net run rate purposes Team 1 will be credited with Team 2’s Par Score on abandonment off the same number of overs faced by Team 2. Where a match is concluded with Duckworth/Lewis/Stern having been applied at an earlier point in the match, Team 1 will be credited with 1 run less than the final Target Score for Team 2 off the total number of overs allocated to Team 2 to reach the target.”

SIMPLE!

The bit in bold is pertinent as bowling a team out (or being bowled out) cheaply, with overs to spare, can make a big difference. Hence some teams not "going for it" when they don't need to win the game and are in trouble. Protecting the net run rate.

I think if Bangladesh bat first Pakistan cannot progress whatever, sure that was said on TMS

Yes, because then Pakistan just need to overtake Bangladesh’s total to win - and wouldn’t be able to ‘bat on’ until they were winning by a further 315 runs.

Correct. They need a huge score and to bowl Bangladesh out for next to nothing.

I refer you to my quote of 08.32...

 

[Simster]

I would chuckle if they won by something like 280 runs - about 20 short.

 

[Questions]

I'm guessing 80% Indian for that game, because the India fans get up earlier in the morning.

4 and a half hours time difference though innit.

Well they have done the first bit by winning the toss and batting.

23/1 off 7.2 CRR 3.13

Oh well.

Seems a bit daft to me in effectively a knockout finals tournament, where games get rained off and not replayed, that you don't decide a tie on points firstly on the result between the two teams.

It's typical cricket that you need a bit of a maths formula, and a calculator to work out a fairly complex set of numbers to determine who goes through.

Pakistan beat NZ, therefore they win this and tie with NZ, they go through. Simple.

I agree in theory, but it isn't definitive. You could have 3 teams tied on the same points, same head to head, so you would need to go to something else after that.

Run rate 3.8 off the first 10 overs.

Winning by over 300 was always an impossible task, but doesn't look like they're even going to try. Shame. Would have been entertaining if they'd gone hell for leather and tried to rack up 400 to at least have chance.

The current situation is simple also, Pakistan need to win by 316 runs to go above New Zealand.

That's put the mockers on England reaching the final then.

Babar goes on 96, 180-2 after 32, clearly just going for the win.

I notice the members pavilion is only a third full again, as it was for the sold out Aus v NZ game. Bunch of privileged twats don't want to fork out £45 for a ticket. I know the Compton and Edrich stands are due for demolition at the end of the season, it's a shame they don't bulldoze the members pavilion while they are at it.

Not been watching but they said it was full of school kids on TMS? Making a racket and waving their 4/6 cards about.

Which I thought was a great idea.
