Curiouser and Curiouser

It looks like England are going out of their way to make this World Cup interesting, but following them maddening. That ridiculously laboured effort in Nagpur followed by a stunning tie against one of the best two sides in the world before succumbing extremely poorly to the excellent Irish. Yesterday what do we get, a capitulation to (IMO) the best ODI side in the world, followed by an outstanding bowling and fielding performance. Meanwhile on Friday we learn that KP will have hernia surgery after the world cup only for him to bowl 8 overs yesterday and put himself out for the rest of the tournament. It’s all completely bonkers and utterly enthralling, even the PCB could learn inconsistency from this particular English side.

Just a quick note (because as a smartphone user this sort of thing bothers me a *lot*) to point out that today’s XKCD has an excellent example of how if you are going to anticipate your application’s client requests in some form of intelligent response, you really need to get it right so as not to annoy the user even more.
