Guyz,one thing I dont understand and which I think is unfair in rain curtailed matches is that, dont you think India would have scored more than 154 in 21 overs,had they known that it would only be 21 over to play for as they will have 10 wickets in had. They played a bit carefully,coz it is 29 overs. I think one team will always be at receiving end, in these rain-curtailed matches. Dont you agree? After all,who can forget the 21 runs in 1 ball farce that happened in 92 world cup.

I perfectly agree fellowgoodie. You are right baout the rain curtailed matches. This whole Duckworth Lewis method is cuckoo....it sucks so badly man. I don't know how the people are sticking with it in the ICC!!! Its amazing....

then D/L method was not in account. 92 WC had weird rule, only the non-socring balls would be ommitted. Whereas D/L method is more statistical and mathematical. Targets are defined by number of wickets and playable overs.
Btw, 154 in 21 overs is more asking rate than 195 in 29. Dhoni only knows how to blame. After the Twenty20 debacle, he accused the batters, now the weather. Had it not rained India would have lost the other two. God was gracious to them.
