England’s World Cup to lose now
The tangents TMS goes off on 
I love players who face the game with a smile on their face. Pant for India and Archer for England, for example.
And you're right not to. The reason umpires call is there for the predictive element is because there's a margin of error at play which we're just not shown.
The TV graphic is just the balls most likely path, but really it should be a cone and for very marginal calls it is very possible that the ball might miss the stumps when hawk eyes most likely predicted past shows it hitting.
There was a study on this a few years ago where they tested Hawkeye on a bowling machine and measured the predicted paths vs actual paths. I can't find it in amongst some really low quality journal shite and general whinging, but basically, as far as I can remember, it's very accurate, but not quite accurate enough for really marginal calls.
God knows why we can't decide if the ball hit in line or not though.
What a joke Maxwell is.
Yes Archer, another moment where he bowls a poor ball only to recover with his next delivery. Maxwell hasn't got the temperament of a top class international batsman.
Huge wicket. England surely should wrap up as quickly as possible.
The way it makes predictions is based on similar match conditions, historical matches would've on average(or median or mode, whatever they use for predictions) would've ended at 248 given current situation at 30.5 overs. The prediction at 31.0 is similar, so it is based on an estimate from a sample. So it does not take into account what actually happened in the prior delivery.
Atleast got the bowler and the runs right.
What was that shot from Maxwell 
Top stuff from Archer though to recover after the wides.

Malinga always comes to mind. I remember even when Dhoni was hitting him in 2011 WC final he was smiling. Wonderful personality he has.
Fair to call Maxwell the Aussie Afridi although Afridi was the much better bowler?

Got completely done by the knuckle ball.
Smith's reaction tells you he thinks Maxwell should have picked it though
Maxwell is so predicable, really is the new Afridi.
If Smith can bat through without doing anything special Aus can still get close to 250
Oz are done. Eng would walk this. Disappointing match. Hope NZ put up a fight in the finale
Yeah he was a better bowler.
Stop talking hyperbole constantly ffs
Afridi would have scored at least one good innings in 10 attempts.
He's worse. Afridi was a product of his environment: a board which doesn't have a clue how to harness the huge depth of talent it has and a barely Sunday League-level domestic structure.
Maxwell has a culture of professionalism behind him. He could and should have been doing much, much more with his talent than he has.
Smith isn't done, the Aussie bowlers aren't done.
And Muralitharan as well. Always a hint of mischief in his eyes. What a player.
What's hyperbolic? The pitch doesn't look that hard to bat at all. Combo of poor batting and good bowling has reduced this to a non contest.
You probably said the same after the NZ innings. Half this thread did.
Hardik Pandya has had a better WC than Maxwell, now that I think of it.
I think I saw afridi go years without playing a good innings, let alone 10 matches.
Always stuck in my mind when 'hawkeye' first came in and every now and then a batsman would be clean bowled by a ball hawkeye showed just missing off stump. I've seen very little reason since to believe its predictions are sufficiently better than those of umpires to justify relying entirely upon them.
This however is absolute nonesense, as you say. It's not predictive. We can see ourselves whether it did or not. Making something 'umpires call' that we can instantly see whether was right or not is not helping the game.
Smith getting stranded here.
Pandya has been very good.
Did I? Not the same pitch or team anyway. Eng will chase it down under 40 overs.
Got to give Rashid credit. His consistency is the main concern but he can bowl quality balls and give it some flight to tempt the hitters.
The difference in Rashid's first 5 and last 5 overs...
It's a gamble exhausting Archer's overs. What if Smith survives till the end?
At some point Smith is just going to have to go for it & try to get them to 200-220.
Rashid has ended his spell very well.

I think its a good captaincy. Go for the kill, no point keeping one over. They only need 3 wickets so they should be OK
I take your point about the set ups generally, but I do think that Maxwell has never really been giving the backing that he needs. Australia have never really been able to work out what to do with him and he's been shunted around the batting order, dropped recalled, and dropped again in all formats. I don't think they've ever really been clear with him what they want him to be, nor been willing to stick with it if it hasn't been an instant success.
Perhaps. It worked for NZ yesterday, leaving Neesham till the end and getting the strike bowlers in to get rid of Dhoni and Jadeja. Don't know if you can say if it has worked today, given Archer got only Maxwell and Smith survived.
Starc can still come out fired up and have one of those spells, I wouldn't bet against it.
If they can get 220 then it's defendable.

Woods been all over the shop today.
