Lol. They seriously need to look at the system and revise it, or come up with something else entirely. Win or lose, I still think it's unfair, but well played England. They made hard work of it, but Bairstow shone and carried the team.

I love the D/L method. Whoever devised that system deserves a medal!! Top lads!!

Do you know for certain they were Eastern Europeans?

I like you Grendel, but sometimes you just keep trying to argue your point. I know England have 10 wickets. I STILL say the system is unfair. Is this going to turn into an Italia 40 page incessant argument? There is nothing you can say that will change my mind, so let's just move on. I...

I don't know who these people are either and I'm sure you can find plenty of cricket experts who say the D/L method is not great. Yes, it's better than what we had before, but at times it just isn't fair and no amount of gesticulating from your good self is going to convince me otherwise. To me...

Brian, Beds: What a RIDICULOUS target...!! How on EARTH can this be deemed fair? Gideon, Manchester: England bowl well and keep New Zealand at 5.66 runs an over. In return, Duckworth Lewis make England have to score at 7.44 an over!!! Charlie, Essex: How can we lose just under half of the...

We will have to disagree I'm afraid. 5.66 runs in 50 overs is so much easier than 7.38 in 26 overs. I'm not saying it should be the same run rate, but the degree of disparity is wrong.

I agree to a point, but at less than a run a ball England could have knocked it about for singles and won easily. With the run rate over 7 runs they knew they needed boundaries. This system is simply not at all fair. England have had to totally change their mindset for this run chase and have...

Thanks a lot! Not so sure I am happy about talking to The Mrs on a football forum though! :whistle:

I just love my city, Samo, despite all its failings and I always want to help promote and support local stuff like this and Fargo is a brilliant venture. It has very much a Camden feel to the place and every shop is independent.

What would have been a very catchable total based on NZ not reaching 300, England would have totally felt confident of getting 284 from 50 overs. Just about 200 off 26 overs is a much, much tougher ask and immediately puts pressure on the English batsmen, when 284 would have been less than a...

Yes, I accept that, but it still doesn't appear fair. There is surely a fairer system than this.

Yeah true. I could pop down tomorrow. After all, it is Father's Day!! I can do anything I want.

I see the D/L thing is buggering it all up again. NZ got 283 from their 50 overs. That is a run rate of 5.66 per over. England have been set 192 in 26 overs. That is a run rate of 7.38 runs per over. How on earth is that deemed fair?

Was there today and should have bought my ticket then. Didn't realise. Will come down on Tuesday, cause I think Monday it will be closed won't it.

Well, we went to Fargo today and had a great time. It was really busy and the new brewery was a big success. Lots of stalls and shops and it's all really coming together nicely.

Won't we have more chance of success if we sell a lot more season tickets? We have been treated badly, but if we continue to think we will always get treated badly and nothing will ever change, then there is no point. Seems the club are at last trying to do some things right. Can we not try...

I just think we need to look at this with a clean slate. We now have a manager pretty much all of us are really happy with. The club at last are starting to do more positive things (gauging fans' views to make the match day experience better etc.). We really need to bite the bullet, back the...

I think the whistling smiley was a dead give away. I had already bought my season ticket when I posted that, standupforcity. :D

They have cut the prices dramatically. What else should they do (besides sell up of course)?
