England simply have to get better in overs 30-50, not scoring a run for 20 overs is criminal

run the numbers on his sprint velocity
Usain Bolts WR 100m sprint averaged 37.6km/hr. Let's assume his top speed is 45km/hr
A 340% increase to reach 45 km/hr would mean his sprint velocity was previously ~10km/hr. That's 6minutes/km, a very achievable running pace for a 5k for many people

when I asked a few weeks ago, if your win probability calculator genuinely started at 50/50, this was the kind of scenario I was thinking about

And train stations (like airports) should assume you don't know where anything is - if you can only change platforms easily using one exit from the platform that's bad design no matter how you signpost it

I have genuinely never seen any signage at New Street indicating to change there, and I used to change there every few weeks. I'm not saying you're wrong but they do an awful job of helping you.
Plus if you end up at the wrong end of the platform it's easier to just go up to go down than fight

want to change platforms? Then please leave your platform, go through the ticket barriers then go round to another section and hope that your ticket lets you through the barrier which it does maybe 10% of the time

interesting change, not sure if it's necessarily "better" than the previous setting, but I do like that the probabilities skew to the winning team
but that's probably more because I care about probability more than the design

I was thinking of it from a data point of view rather than graphic design, just that it felt odd seeing NSC having a 50% chance when they'd scored so many

I don't actually know how best to represent it - I think that having the faded bars is a good way to indicate the fact it's too variable.
Maybe you could add a kind of error bar as an alternative?

Potentially boring question, does the win predictor actually start out at 50/50?
I'm sure it'd be very tricky to create a system that gave probabilities based on first innings scores but presumably there's the same amount of data as for a chase
