    Does ANYONE understand how the nett run rate is calculated????

    My understanding, from what I had heard on TV, is that the run rates are subtracted from each other, and then averaged over matches.

    Now, here is what I don't understand....England had a nett run rate of -0.06 before last nights game. Their run rate was 3.28, and Bangladesh's was 3.83. The latest scoreboard reflects England's nett run rate to be +0.08....surely it should have gone down?

    Don't worry, my averaging is up to sh1t. You have to have all the games nett run rates to calculate the average nett run rate correctly....

    Can I offer you another cup of coffee?

    For me, the heavy gears only kick in a couple of hours after waking up.

    Well. A sound thrashing of England and cause to celebrate.
    Clearly our lads were none the worse for wear after their tipple the other night.

    Semi-final time coming up.

    Pretty safe to say Sri Lanka is in the final now.

    New Zealand has now played in 5 semi-finals and lost all of them Ag shame.

    Well, this thread has sure died down.

    South Africa almost had it, and then, ... (Replay every previous cricket world cup)

    Oh Well, maybe the rugby.
