    RRR 8.63 pah can't see it happening

    Buttler out, but Betfair still reckons there’s a 60% chance of making the runs. 46 from 31, 5 in hand.
    Quoted a summary of this to Ms Brisk and she reckons it may be down to "patriotic bets" - but we're both fairly clueless on cricket.
    Going by your posts you could expand that hugely.
    You been watching the cricket too Malky? Who you supporting?
    cricket is for girlies, if forced to choose I would go for the underdogs , oops that would mean England, scrub that I would go for the small country.

    If it had stopped just short of the boundary England wouldn't have taken any extra runs.

    If you think about it, England has tied the game before they lost their last wicket, and it’s the number of runs scored that counts.

  • AndyJSAndyJS Posts: 29,395
    I reckon 15 is about par for a super over.

    In football, you kind of have to do it on that basis as you'd otherwise need to organise a whole new match. Goal difference is kind of a necessary evil - there is no great fairness in determining it based on who beat the whipping boys of the league 4-0 rather than 6-0 a few months ago, but it does the job.

    In cricket, the teams are right there, so why not do a super over?

    Current boundaries, including super overs:

    England 26
    New Zealand 16

    So NZ can't catch up on boundaries, (except if England ball no-balls).
