Cricket World Cup 2019 - England World Champions!!!

This was pretty much done as soon as India posted near 350.

Silly question but why is chasing a decent total in ODI where I don't think the wicket changes too much, so difficult?
More has to do with mental pressure of scoring a target ...when batting first ,you are more free and you have option to defend a total by bowling and fielding even if you don’t bat too well ..there are no second chances while chasing...it’s like playing in second leg of football having lost first leg :)

So it is the obvious... Still find it amazing that it doesn't a little more often though. Also it makes Ireland's chase of 331 against England in the 2011 World Cup positively godly!

Maybe a suggestion for the home side if they're chasing would be not to show the scoreboard in the usual manner. But instead make it display the required run rate only, so the batsmen can more easily digest what they need to do over by over and not get spooked by the load of runs they need.
 
The notch is to deep make it shallower they will fall off easy fix.

Nope, if you do that then the bails will sit proud raising the height of the stumps. They'd have to make the stumps a bit shorter.

They could water the holes, that would make them more inclined to fall off.
 
Not another wash out ..it’s hard to see results being decided by non cricketing parameters ..it’s points dropped from windies

Arguably more disastrous for South Africa if it's abandoned. They pretty much have to win - though obviously their chances are anyway getting slim now.
