Each and every player who is following cricket may have heard the word Duckworth Lewis method . Its a method for recalculating the targets if the game is interrupted due to rain /bad light or by any means .. The board of cricket found it to be the best suited one in such cases . Probably they have to put more restrictions on the D/L method .. There is no problem if the target is being set before the start of the innings . But the real problem arises when it is applied during the second innings of play or after the play has stopped due to some reasons.
My suggestion is that, if D/L method is to be applied both the teams should be informed atleast before 10 overs. Its biy difficult to implement it . If at all they couldn't do that its better to have a match without no result . Comsider the SA match during the 1992 world cup . After the calculation it was 22 runs they have to make it from 1 ball. At times the method behaves funny. Anyway past is past and each and every one may know that its bit funny at times. But no one is trying to find a solution for that .. Sure there will be a better solution than this.. Each and everyone try their own solution and have a post to the ICC .
