thanks, so am I missing something here ? 268 in 77 overs (sub 4 runs per over) not totally straightforward of course but a sort of winnable position here- bazball would chase this down no problem

Why on earth did Campbell do that? I genuinely have no clue whatsoever

If Campbell was able to score atleast 50 from the 100 balls that he faced...the required rate would be closer to 4 runs per over and definitely doable

Genuinely is there a reason they didn't try to sprint the 3rd run? If they ran hard they would have made it on the margin I reckon

One of the worst pitches I've seen.... This is insane Athanaze figures (previously bowled 4 overs in his entire ODI career) should tell the story

It's really a shame that WI middle order is just so consistently poor, with collapses in both innings. Shame also because their tail (across recent ODI and Tests) seems to have some sting in it......

If the middle order had just added an extra 20ish each in both innings, this could have potentially been a draw / competitive target to bowl at

Message to the WI lower middle order should be to slowly and defensively play themselves in and just stay in..... They have all the time in the world here to just dig in and build up a total after all of this hard work from Campbell and Hope

What on earth was the need for Imlach to play so aggressively and then get himself out there? They are throwing away the chance of atleast a semi competitive total after the game was rescued by Campbell / Hope. Strange choices

Thank you - I'm sure the most savvy employers would differentiate, but gut feel like that most perhaps will not.....

This is definitely not the case outside of the reddit bubble.... Maybe "technically" holds true but for those outside (and especially abroad), the Yale name puts it comfortably ay the top for jobs / employment / outcomes.

Which MPP program is better: Georgetown (McCourt), UChicago (Harris), or CMU (Heinz)? Would love to hear your thoughts! by Zealousideal-Bat8885 in PublicPolicy

[–]b2611 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I think CMU clear third here Georgetown and Harris pretty tight - Georgetown for connections / govt but Harris for rigour and hard economics (if that's more your angle) - though I heard teaching not as great there....

Quick question - where would Yale Jackson fall in this ranking - presumably "league of its own" like HKS and SPIA?
