as I said its nonsense as they stood around for 20 mins after it had stopped raining, they could easily have been under way at 9.00 and there would have got the whole game done

you have to respect the residents agreement, and that it takes the groundstaff time to get everything ready. but ask the crowd if they want:
a. to have a broadcasted post match presentation under the lights. b. the full game played, and the post match presentation done indoors and the lights switched off straight away. |

Thanks for taking part, sadly a typical Duckworth Lewis ending. IMHO as stated it came down to who won the toss rather then how the game was played
Chat more on Sunday CU |

Up until this week Englands limited overs style of play was reminiscent of the French in ww2 playing the Germans but using ww1 tactics. Good to see they have finally learned you cant use tactics 30 years behind the times. They now have several players who are not afraid to get out and will go at a heavy strike rate from ball one.

Surely the input of a betting perspective would help modify the duckworth lewis so teams are set new totals which equate roughly to both teams being the same odds when they restart.

I mean the same odds they were when they restart as they were when they came off.
