Eng 123 ao in 33.2 overs; NZ 57/0 after 3.5 overs. That's just painful.
I dunno ... you might end up looking at those stats as being the less painful innings from an England pov...
Edited: Oops, you did quote the NZ figures so far. I'm sleep deprived.
In a perverse way I probably enjoy this really. Brings back all that comforting childhood nostalgia. Not sure I've ever really got used to England handing out the pastings to other countries...

Worse thing is not that NZ are 84/0 off 5.4 overs but that the Duckworth-Lewis par score is currently SIX.
I edited this post twice, because 72/0 off 5.2 overs was rendered less impressive by consecutive maximums. Incidentally why does nobody call them "maxima"?
In fact one more BMac six later and now I need to edit it AGAIN, to 90/0 off 5.5...AND AGAIN 96/0 off 6. (Sixteen times the DL par score of six for the end of that over.)

Not sure that the World Cup benefits from having so many minnows in the group stages...
and to pass the time I've workes out the last week of YouGov Scottish sub samples between SNP and Labour. Today was 44% SNP -29% Labour and average of last six and sample of arpound 1,000 is 42% SNP and 27% Labour.
I know this will come as a huge disapointment to the Murphyites on this site but your boy is in deep deep doo doo. Hi Ho Ho Ho!
"It's sort of like the double birthday situation. Ask 23 people in a room their date of birth (not year) and the odds are 50-50 that two people will have the same birthday."
I've heard that said a number of times so I guess it must be true true ..... difficult to get one's head around though!
Its easiest to work out the probability that there aren't any matches. The probability that there is at least one match is then (1 - this probability.)
With 1 person in the room the probability is 1 that there are no matches. When a second person enters the probability is 364/365 that there are no matches (i.e. there are 364 days where the birthday is different.) When a third person enters the probability is 364/365 * 363/365 When a fourth person enters the probability is 364/365 * 363/365 * 362/365 etc This value drops below 0.5 when the 23rd person enters (actual value 0.492703...)
You may note that this doesn't take into account leap years - however the difference will be pretty small.

It's scary to think that just four or five years ago, England under Collingwood were so good at 20/20s and ODIs that they were boring,
