England's matches have been the most entertaining

Those days are long over. I couldn't give 2 ****s about our side now. They lost my full support long ago.

Agreed. England have been involved in some of the best games so far in the WC. Good to watch from a neutrals perspective.

Hmmm, have to say I found this match the worst, it was a bit of a cripple-fight, worse then even the Dutch match, without the individual brilliance of an RTD or KO'B innings.

Yet I'm sure many would of loved it.

England matches have been so boring in this WC, it was just what I needed to fall asleep. Kenya matches, now those were awesome, they've been by far the most exciting team!

 

[honestbharani]

It is all because England players have had enough..

 

[irottev]

Another exciting game and another England loss. See told you it's because anyone can beat them.

Singled-handedly keeping the tournament alive, we are.

Tho 18 runs probably constitutes a comfortable win by our recent standards, tbh.

We are THE team to watch this year. What a mad competition we are having. Still think we have absolutely no chance of winning the darn thing but should we qualify for the quarters we have a chance as there is no real good side in it this year.

Apart from Netherlands, India, South Africa or the West Indies.

England the Marquee team.

There have been about twice as many belters with us in as there have in all the other games. We're awesome.

Cricinfo's "Win likelihood" graph for today is worth a look:

All of England's are like that. The England vs. Bangladesh one was equally ridiculous.

Compare those monsters of excitement to this one from Australia vs New Zealand.

Yawn.

 

[GIMH]

Haha, post the Saffa game?

(My excuse for not getting it myself is I'm posting via phone)

 

[Howe_zat]

Here ya go.

Okay, not quite so up n' down, just an epic turnaround - SA reached a peak of 97% chance of winning.

But the turnaround of the cup is of course the Ireland match:

Where England spent almost the entire match with a 98 or 99% chance of winning...

And since you asked nicely, here's England-India, where India had peaks of 93% and 96%, but England reached 89% between the two.

 

[Himannv]

England deserve to win it simply for giving us so much entertainment.

 

[GIMH]

Thanks for them Jake. Fascinating stuff

yet more proof, if any were needed

FFS what's with all the maths

 

[xanderbiscuits]

well I for one am a maths teacher, so there's that...
