Dear Author, Looks like you never understood subjects like Maths and Statics. Here is a good starting point for you, Elementary Statistics (11th Edition) by Mario F. Triola
Brother, Do you have any idea what are you talking about? why blame duckworth-lewis? Its ICC who picked up their formula to apply to cricket. Tomorrow if ICC wants to apply Poison Distribution to extrapolate the runs scored, will you blame poison for that? Learn to write something sensible.
There is no enough data on T20 to produce a reasonably accurate model Vs applying D/L designed for 50 Overs. Secondly, one of the team would always feel unfair in the event of loss whether it is chasing or batting first. Imagine if West indies were about 100 without any loss of wicket at the end of 15 overs and it rained, england would have been declared winner. Would it be fair to West indies, when 60 runs are easily gettable in last 5 overs. So please think befor your suggest something. I am sure V Jayadevan;s model also has the same issues. You cannot prove if one is better than the other, because there is no statistically significant data on T20s

What u are saying pradeep is right. Also, it is very difficult to design a fool proof model that would be fair to both the teams in all possible situations and permutations and combinations, even with statistically significant data.

He's a journalist. How dare you question him! Journalists are experts on everything and greater than god!
And he drew a nice graph - oops copied it from Wikipedia.
Who are you to question him? What have you ever done in life?

fools like u r everywhere in this world... just because u dont understand problems/solutions u cant disgrace a solution... ofcourse experts (or degree holders) are capable of giving genuine opinion/review about the solution... only irrational people like u give such irrational comments
This article is nice showoff for Srinivas Bhogle to say that he is very intelligent than the ICC guys. I hope his message reaches ICC and some work is done on that.
For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. England were lucky in 1992 world cup where as here they just couldn't do it. Its all in the game.
