A thread to talk about anything you want, because sometimes (rarely) there's more to life than cricket.

Please keep discussion limited to non-cricket areas here (while still following the subreddit rules). Cricket discussion can be posted in the Daily Discussion Thread instead.

Discussion No takers for T20 Cricket in Wellington, NZ?

358 Upvotes

New Zealand fans. Any reason why
Maybe the 8 PM start is a problem?

There is a serious problem if T20 games can't attract a full house.

Discussion This win probability graph looks like New Zealand fell off a cliff

483 Upvotes

Don’t remember when I saw this type of a graph.

NZ spent almost their entire innings looking like favourites, only for India to come out and turn the win probability graph into a vertical drop.

From around 70% for NZ to 99.89% for India in less than 10 overs.

I’ve seen batting collapses, but this might be the first time I’ve seen a probability collapse.

That blue line is absolutely brutal.
