[ACT Crusader]

Way to full and easily put away.

[Donsteppa]

Now three wicket keeps to dislodge from the crease.

The "Win Predictor" has India as 70% favourite. Surely it is at least 50:50 now?

[Hooroo]

No matter what happens from here I still think @Baron-Silas-Greenback is a witch! Nailed it bang on!!!!

A win predictor won't be able to calculate momentum or how the pitch is playing or how we are bowling. It will only be able to look at past results. 5 an over with 7 wickets in hand and you probably should be favourites. Problem for India is they are on the back foot and could easily fold here.

Boult very tight ... maiden

Qld up 6-2

In other words it is a total waste of time. I am a little surprised it does not factor in the expected score of a team that is 6/3 after 5 overs (as it then was). That should be a part of the equation for a Win Predictor.

C'mon, Henry, don't lose that lovely line and length now.

[E African Troll]

[booboo]

@Mokey good finish to the over

[Godder]

Henry 2 for 8 from 4, Boult 1 for 3 from 4... Maybe the pitch is tougher than it looked...

It doesn't matter. It's only a friendly.

[Mokey]

@booboo Did you twitch during those couple of bad balls? Please try and remember your role.

It does factor it in, but it can't tell if 249 was due to the pitch or NZ's batting.

Like any model it's going to work well providing conditions are relatively normal, but this pitch is an outlier.
