Dukworth Lewis

[J'Pol]

Do you think that is a fair way to settle an incomplete cricket match.

i take it you're one hell of a sports fan jp.
either that or having one hell of a laugh. :)
you've not posted on penny farthing racing yet by the way. :)

Dukworth Lewis is a serious issue.

It is causing major problems in the cricket world just now.

It obviously changes as scoring / over rates change, however does it take enough account of weather / wicket / atmosphere etc.

I hope you are not trivialising such a sensitive matter.

[neil1967]

would i dare, now that i'm aware you're holding the subject so close to you're heart :) my sincerest apologies, from someone who doesnt watch it to one cricket fan :)

[J'Pol]

Shame on you.

Dukworth Lewis is quite easy to follow actually.

Here are the rules:

4+4=8
4+5=9
F*** the northerners, the south has better weather so they win.
By order, the MCC southerners club.

I thought you understood that much JP.

Comments with an element of truth often are.

It&#39;s called irony.

the best way to avoid controversy is start the game from the same point the same day or the next day if need be...something like the ind V eng match in the 99 world cup....
