Do you really think we would have made 250 from 114-4? We could have. But it’s unlikely
I thought today was harsher.
But I look at it quite simply
Wednesday - we were behind the game. We lost.
Today - we were ahead of the game. We won.
It’s far from perfect. It doesn’t take into account pitches or conditions or teams.
But it uses historical stats to provide balance. I’d say it’s worked over 2 games
The difference is that one was a modest totalThe other day, a modest total produced a calculation that massively favoured the side batting second.

The two don’t match up, quite frankly.
We’ll never know what we would’ve made the other day, I fancied us for 250, but one thing we do know, is Warwickshire didn’t get to 250 today - yet they were granted a far better chance of winning than what we were given the other day.

The other was a potential modest total
Because we were 114-4 so the probability suggests we wouldn’t. It’s all based on many many many years of statsWhich means there was also potential of a large total - so why then, was the calculation less favourable than one where there was no doubt the side batting first had underachieved?
You still haven’t answered whether you thought both calculations were fair.
Yes, possibly most pleased for Lees. He's a very good player but has been having a bad time. Turned down captaincy to concentrate on cricket - it looks like the move to Durham is being good for him.Good win that! Nice to see Clark, Lees and Harte getting a score.
Yes definitelyGood win that! Nice to see Clark, Lees and Harte getting a score.
Equally pleasing are the performances of both Carse and Potts with the ball.Good win that! Nice to see Clark, Lees and Harte getting a score.
Yep looks promising like after big injury layoffs.Equally pleasing are the performances of both Carse and Potts with the ball.
Think our bowling division is pretty good and also impressed by Trevaskis with the ball (Whitehead too looked good last season in the T20's)Equally pleasing are the performances of both Carse and Potts with the ball.
