I may never
understand the calculations of Duckworth Lewis method. But, we would certainly know
the pain of being subjected to misfortunes!!!
You have our respect AB’ De
In the
Pakistan vs South Africa match yesterday, the Proteas were set a revised total
of 232 in 47 overs despite Pakistan being bowled out for 222 in a rain-curtailed innings at Eden
Park, Auckland.
Rational:
The D/L/S method,
though, doesn’t consider a team getting bowled out and sets revised targets during the rain
interval and not at the end of the innings. It takes into account only the
number of runs and wickets at the start of play after the rain delay.
Hence,
it didn’t matter how many wickets Pakistan lost after the rain interval. Even
if they had ended the innings on 222/5, the target for South Africa would have
still been 232.
The
target is usually increased in the second innings when the first innings is
interrupted by rain because the team batting first are likely to have played at
a slower rate thinking they have 50 overs to play.
