Cricket probabilities

what about no 8, sehwag 170 NO?! 241 is a pretty good score and for india to chase it down without losing any wickets seems a bit unrealistic with 6 overs to go.

It's a one-off. Matches like this have happened before, where one team just goes crazy. You will also notice that the run-rate is reasonable (not like they chase it down in 30 overs, similar to Cricsim). Anyhow, it's a one-off, and it may be 1/10 or 1/100--one won't know until it is tested sufficiently. I'm not about to test it sufficiently, because the engine isn't the most important part of my project.

I just finished writing the FC engine today.

India 2nd Inn.: 246/10 (Tendulkar 154, Warne 4/50)
Target for Australia to win: 233
Australia 2nd Inn.: 233/9 (Ponting 61, Symonds 46, Hogg 27*)
