Fair but we're massively limited by capacity. MCG 100k vs our biggest (Lords?) at less than 30k

You stated that attendances were shocking except for england.

World cup attendances shocking anywhere in the world other than England.

Was genuinely surprised how bad it was in India for any game not featuring the home side.

Think I've read that ticket prices are too high for many locals to attend in WI?

Doesn't help with the scheduling being all over the shop either. West Indies were playing on a Sunday morning in Guyana FFS. If you want proper Caribbean atmospheres then at least play at a decent time that's conducive to that.

They are shocking. Games played in stadiums that are half full at best*

You can lob England in with the rest if looking at averages. More than 95% of tickets were sold in 2019 though, which is more of a supply issue than the demand that plagues all other hosts.

 

*other games it looks like nobody is there at all.

So higher attendances are shocking but lower attendances aren't?.  Ok.

We’re actually going to lose to Scotland here aren’t we. 

If we do and Buttler says we need to take the learnings from this game then I'm done.

As a casual cricket watcher can someone explain to me why we need 109 runs to beat 90?

The BCCI hate us.

 

No, seriously, it is adjusted up for the overs lost.

I got properly drenched, and Mrs Vac will forever say that the weather saved England.

 

Still, I had a boatload of beer, some unbelievable Bajan fishcakes, and I sat in the Sun before the game, so today was a good day.  :D

That catch by Aqib Ilyas is now the best catch I've seen live.  Got me out of my seat.

 

The other 2 in my Top 3 are:

 

Bairstow keeping wicket at Lords v New Zealand 2022 at full stretch just off the floor when we bowled them out in a session and a half.

 

Sheldon Cottrell versus Aus Trent Bridge (2019). He plucked it out of the air one handed on the boundary, about 10 feet in front of me.

Superb fielding. Just watched highlights. Oman got more runs in that chase than I thought, when you consider who Aus have in their bowling attack.
