Why is it less? It's more like a T31 than a T50 so more like a T20 when the run rate is higher and you have less time to lose wicketsAddick Addict said:133-9 (31) with 54 runs scored off those 6 overs. Waiting for confirmation of Pakistan's target but it's probably going to be 20 or so runs less than our total.
The one area of concern might be the ability to grip the ball especially for the spinners. Pakistan's certainly struggled to land it in the right place post the break for rain.0 -
And they are off again for rain.0

It's less because we were 79-7 off 25 when the rain came i.e. the calculation takes into account the fact we were unlikely to see out 50 overs or post a meaningful target even if we had done so. Had we been 79-0, for example, then the target would have been more than the 133 we eventually posted.PrincessFiona said:

We have to bowl another 13.1 overs for a match. The irony is that had this match been reduced to 25 overs then Pakistan's target would have been about 60 off 20 overs which they would have reached before this latest deluge.0

Looks like my Red position might be (luckily) nulled.0

DLS is a very clever (and fair) algorithm.PrincessFiona said:

England will be top of the table should it be rained off due to NRR above OZ0

Yep, aware of that and the change happening, just not up to speed with the algorithm - I was just being lazy and using just the initials and not the full names!Zulu said:

Was a former player in their 40s under investigation earlier in the summer for an incident at a pub a few of the current squad own. Think Colly is probably too well known though for it to be him.cantersaddick said:

So yet another game heading for abandonment. If you were South Africa you might be pretty damn furious with Sri Lanka 46-2 and England heading for defeat before their game was curtailed.
Who could have been able to predict such weather at this time of year in what is Sri Lanka's monsoon season. Certainly not the ICC.0 -

Anyone would think it was an advantage to any team only playing there once with the other teams playing at least twice in Sri Lanka - a high chance at least 1 if not 2 of the other top teams would lose a point or 2 from a no result, meaning more chance the team only playing there once would read the semis0 -
England have appointed David Saker as their fast-bowling coach for the Ashes. Southee, England’s present fast-bowling coach, will leave the squad after the first Test in Australia to play T20 cricket in the UAE. Saker will be in place for England’s warm-up fixture against the Lions, where he and Southee will work together until Southee departs.
England have also confirmed that Paul Collingwood, who was absent from the coaching staff this summer owing to personal reasons, will not be part of the touring party.

The England side is a procession of hitters - Salt, Buttler, Bethell, Brook, Banton, Curran, Cox, Carse, Dawson, Rashid & Wood (L). They won't die wondering that's for certain.0

We're really struggling to score off the slower ball cutters that NZ have utilised as their stock ball
