[edit] removed

Back with us? Good! Now let's try and explain that with a slightly more step by step approach.

I have removed the above sentence from this article. Unnecessary.

It also seems to have come from an early, near copyvio version of the page - see the Battrick site rules... Blackjack4124 07:05, 9 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] good start

this article has a good start however some parts of the need to be rewritten. Can I suggest a rewrite of the step-by-step explanation section. It's very conversational and too wordy. --220.237.166.156 03:52, 6 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Before worldcup 2007

The article talks about NRR changes with respect to D/L matches for the worldcup 2007, but nothing about before the worldcup. Nikanth 06:54, 22 March 2007 (UTC) Nikanth

I don't reckon it was changed at all, it's just that people have realised it now. Can't find a source for that, mind. (Would have to go through some old series and calculate to be sure.) Sam Vimes | Address me 16:25, 22 March 2007 (UTC)

Excellent Explanation. Havent found a better explanation than this in the net. Cheers

[edit] Example to explain D/L

Friends Provident Trophy: Lancashire v Worcestershire 22-04-2007 at Old Trafford [1] Worcestershire beat Lancashire by 122 runs (D/L) Worcestershire won the toss and decided to bat Worcestershire Innings: 182 for 4 (42.0 overs) Lancashire Innings: 90 all out (25.1 overs) It was the first match of the competition. The BBC table has the Worcestershire R/R as + 4.07 [2] How does that work? 88888 16:39, 23 April 2007 (UTC)

Not clear from there whether a revised target and number of overs was imposted on Lancashire (ie. a second rain delay after the W'shire innings). That would effect the number of overs Lancashire batted/W'shire bowled. Any idea? Blackjack4124 07:09, 9 May 2007 (UTC)

I can't find more detail on the BBC or Sky. Is it possible to assume there was one rain delay cutting Worc to 42 over & then Lancs were scuttled out. (Why isn't that kind of thing a standard part of the final scorecard - delays, reset overs, & reset targets?) I guess it is possible that the rain came down at 42 overs, but on resumption, Lancs had only 30 overs (or something) with reset totals. 88888 17:39, 9 May 2007 (UTC)

Here we are http://www.cricketarchive.co.uk/Lancashire/Scorecards/107/107485.html

Worcestershire innings was reduced to 42 overs, Lancashire target was 213 runs in 30 overs Lancashire innings interrupted at 23.4 overs, 5 overs lost Lancashire innings interrupted at 24 overs, 7 overs lost An easy one I guess! 88888 17:59, 9 May 2007 (UTC)
