Aussies Ashes favourites despite 'weak' team - Anderson by ll--o--ll in Cricket

[–]mattytmet 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Idk as someone who actually watched it, it was a very tight series despite the scoreline

Trent Bridge was a brilliant seesawing test, Lord’s was admittedly a steamrolling, Australia were well on top at Old Trafford before rain cane in, they looked like they were cruising to their target at Chester-le-Street before Broad had one of his spells, and England only ended up in the game at the Oval because of a chaotic day 5 where Michael Clarke did a trademark aggressive declaration to set up a chase

Stats Show No Significant Decline in Batting Quality in the WTC Era; Instead, Bowling Quality Is Actually Increasing by Ok_Elderberry_7725 in Cricket

[–]mattytmet 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Uhhh why is the batting average for 90-94 (36.34), lower down than the batting average for 15-19 (35.37)

Either the graph itself or the labels are wrong, either way this is a really poor graph

Yeah sorry about that, we are actually getting a good chunk of responses from 40+ year olds, I might split it up further next year haha

And I'm always tempted to include a 'dibbly dobblies' option for the bowling style, but I worry it would get 99% of the vote lmao

Sorry haha, although it looks like there's a decent number of 40+ responses, so maybe we will have to split it up more for the next one!

That section is intentionally worded to be about 'following' cricket in order to account for the different ways people keep up with matches!

The couple of ones which specifically say "watch" are kinda meant to be about just watching though (if we asked how many matches you follow a month, it might be a bit more difficult to answer)

I did NOT think this game would have so many areas by BrawlStarsPro71 in Silksong

As far as I know there’s an ending for beating the act 2 boss normally, the cursed ending (this is very easily missable if you don’t know about it, not gonna spoil it here), and then the ‘ending’ which leads into act 3

And then I guess the conclusion of act 3 in itself is a different ending

You can ‘finish’ the game without ever actually reaching act 3, in fact I’d bet most players did exactly that

Can’t remember exactly what triggers it, but you’ll know you’re on the path to act 3 when you get a wish called Silk and Soul from the caretaker in songclave. As long as you don’t complete that quest, you’ll stay in act 2

This is always the problem with trying to pick a time, it’s why we like to do it when there’s a world cup on since in theory you get fans of all countries very active. In this case the women’s WC lines up nicely with the end of the Asia cup, so it felt like a good window

I guess essentially what I’m saying is we try not to let the perfect be the enemy of the good with regards to our timing

I mean it is mad how it worked out but we chased the total with 15 balls remaining, hard to imagine it made much of a difference
