Duckworth-Lewis is the current method used to resolve one day internationals that are rain-affected.
When the weather reduces the number of overs in a match , the target of the side batting 2nd is adjusted. It's not a perfect solution , but is undoubtably the fairest method for rain-affected matches. |

So what would happen if the team batting second, needs 60 off 20 balls, and it starts raining heavely and bad light happens. Does the team batting first win or does the team batting second wins?

If rain threatens during the 2nd innings , both sides are kept up todate with who is winning at that precise moment. Duckworth-Lewis determines the outcome for any game that has seen both sides go past 25 overs - the score necessary to win after the 1st innings has finished is provided over by over beyond the 25th.
The calculations are complex , but the total number of runs needed to win is based on runrate , the number of wickets to have fallen (in both knocks) and the number of overs still to be bowled in the 2nd dig. |

You weren't asked to give your opinion on how you feel about the Duckworth Lewis Law!

It doesn't work properly????? How can ANY progression work perfectly , that's impossible. Duckworth/Lewis is by far THE best system to produce a fair result from rain affected cricket matches. The powers that be and the players mostly agree that it's been brilliantly researched by two very bright lads. As for postponing the match until the following day , that's ludicrous for a number of reasons. 1) There might be another game scheduled for the next day. 2) The players might have to fly to another location for their next fixture. 3) They might be flying home after the end of the tour 4) It might STILL be raining the next day! 5) The players don't want to reply matches , especially insignificant one day affairs , they play enough! Since D/L has been used the griping has fallen away. It's not perfect , but it's the best suggestion by a country mile. |

South Africa needed something like 24 of 56 during the 1st ODI i think. They won by the duck rule. They did have about 6 wicket in hand, but if it wasn't raining, Australia would still have a chance. This is why the rule doesnt work. (I dont think this makes any sense......) Edited by crownmethod |

May I ask, if South Africa needed 24 of 56, with one wicket in hand, and it started to rain. Do they still win? |

Get a grip lad - a top side has to score 24 off 56 balls with 6 wickets in hand and you think they could lose???? Australia had two chances , a dog's chance and no chance. |

this is altogether different and I don't have the tables of Duckworth Lewis - but it would be a lot closer. The number of wickets Australia lost plays a significant role as well. |

Someone could always get a hat-trick, like Brett Lee. Or the South African Batting Line up could just collapse. I seen that many times. |
