Talk:Duckworth-Lewis method

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The article states clearly that Tony Lewis is a statistician, and the link points to Tony Lewis (mathematician). Thus I do not think it is worthwhile cluttering an already dense first paragraph with the information that this isn't an English cricketer from the 70s. Shannonr 01:32, 8 September 2005 (UTC)

Not sure I'd agree with this. i'd always assumed that The Lewis was tony the cricketer and commentator- it required a tour throught the Tony Lewis disambiguation pages to disavow me of this notion. Epeeist smudge 12:52, 12 December 2006 (UTC)

Unless there is some specific criticism of the _current_ D/L method, better yet with a link to a public statement of such, occasional cricket-fan "uncomfortableness" with D/L is covered in detail in the body of the article. Note that "generally accepted" includes "there are a couple of people who have raised largely insubstantial criticisms" --Shannonr 22:40, 30 November 2005 (UTC)

IMO, what would really be cool here is if someone could post a shot of a scoreboard, somewhere, with the target score displayed... Anyone? --Shannonr 02:48, 26 April 2006 (UTC)

This picture is quite blurry, but it does show the Duckworth/Lewis target score (even though people are standing in front of 'D/Lewis'). Will it suffice? Deaþe gecweald 12:41, 5 November 2006 (UTC)

Nice photo! But you're right -- people are standing right in front of the area we're interested in for this article! Shannonr 15:38, 6 November 2006 (UTC)
