Predicting unpredictable ....!!
by Lakumikara on May 11, 2010 09:07 PM  | Hide replies

This game is alive because of its unpredictable nature...why do we try to predict the result then?

The best solution is to play the match again..

Another important parameter
by Sourav Nandy on May 10, 2010 04:12 PM

We should bring into consideration another important and essential parameter into this - the career strike rate of the batsman currently performing so that the projected runs also become a function of this along with other parameters.

A realistic Projected Score.
by shibu stephen on May 09, 2010 12:26 PM  | Hide replies

The ideal solution to this is whenever there is a stoppage, the teams projected score is to be calculated. This should be based on the number of overs remaining, wickets in hand, and most importantly, who are the remaining batsmen. That means we have to consider the average and strike rate of the remaining batsmen. ( considering those of the bowlers will make the method accurate bu complicated) I ve worked on this some 10 years back but lost interest and left out. Now let me try and find whether it works without error.
It will take average of the projected score from a chart similar to the DL, and the projected runs scored in the remaining overs by the remaining batsmen, and also considering the average score of last 10 innings in that pitch.

Duckworth Lewis
by Basant Pandey on May 08, 2010 10:45 AM  | Hide replies

Duckworth lewis is a good method and has served cricket well all these years. It is only when the overs given to the batting team are are very few that there is an issue. The issue is in direct proportion to the number of reduced overs. Therefore a very simple way would be to keep D/L in its entirety and add 1 run to the target for every over reduced. In Eng/W.I. case since the D/L target was 43/0 in 5 overs, 15 overs reduced, then it would become 43 15=68/0 in 5 overs, or 46 15=71/1 in 5. The fact that a wicket = only 3 runs is no issue as under pressure to score batsmen often fail to score even a single run or waste balls. Basant Pandey. Mumbai.

Duckworth lewis are brainless, hope you have not forgot that Southafricans had to score 16 runs from 1 ball when they crusing for victory in a semifinal worldcup match.

Simple Solution
by super hero on May 07, 2010 04:51 AM  | Hide replies

Reduce the number of wickets too according to the numbers of overs remmaning..

Like team chasing with 7 overs will have only 3 or 4 wickets..

I think both teams will be happy with this.
Coz otherwise it seems unfair to the team batting first..and second cannot complain too coz..they can play best possible batsman

That way, the team chasing cannot throw their wickets just coz they have 10 wickets at their disposal

T20's superover should be like a football's penalty shoot out!!
by Crickbufff on May 06, 2010 05:09 PM


6 difft batsmen need to face 6 difft bowlers in one over!!
That would make it more exciting in rain affected matches!!

Hypothetical example.....
by Crickbufff on May 06, 2010 05:07 PM  | Hide replies

the formula to a tennis game for eg.

Agassi vs Sampras
two sets each. 7-6, 6-7, 7-6, 6-7
fifth set tiebreaker playing Sampras to serve at 6-all!! Rain or lava storm or some weather intervention intervenes!!
Can any one predict the win mathematically??

Even if one is losing 0-6,0-6,0-5 and it rains, nobody will allow declaring the person who leads by 2 sets the winner. Then there is no use of playing a best of five sets.
