In most cases D-L radically favours the team that bats first, and spits out some strange requirements.

Anybody who wins the toss when weather is around will bat first for this reason.

Myth.Point to a specific match or matches.
DL calculations are based partially on what has has happened in matches where an equivalent situation has occurred.As for Eoin Morgan not understanding the maths theorems behind the calculation he could not be expected to unless he has a Ph.D. In statistics.

Sorry, it is categorically not a myth.

There is an equality in that the D-L system doesn't favour one team over the other, except if one team bats out its innings without a rain delay.

If the team batting second has a shortened innings, the statistics say that the odds for the match win shift by up to 20% from the odds without a rain delay.

D-L doesn't properly account for the amount of wickets a team has in hand, which it should - wickets in the shed are runs on the board, really.

[Alan52]

In the ODI's covered in the 2016 Wisden there were 12 matches decided on DL calculations.5 of them were won by the team batting first and 7 by the team batting second.Pick any other Wisden years you like and I will do the same stats.DL overwhelmingly favours the team batting first?
The last sentence is opinion.Give me a year where the statement in the second last paragraph is borne out by results.

Over 2600 games analysed here:

That’s right, in games affected by rain, the team batting second is expected to win almost 20 per cent more often. Cricket fans have always been skeptical at the Duckworth Lewis Method, but the fact it alters the outcome of the game so dramatically should be a major concern.

This is not _my_ opinion, it is a well felt "opinion" in cricket circles.

But it is off topic.

[Alan52]

Yes it is off topic and I will look at the tabled results sometime.By the way his conclusion is the team batting second has a considerable advantage whereas yours 5 posts above says the team that bats first has a "radical advantage".Care to recant?

[mayhem]

What do you blokes think about the number of interchanges being dropped to 6 per NRL game?

[old fart]

Before asking that we get back to motor racing content I must admit that the last time I played cricket I was caught between first and second slip trying to bowl a maiden over!

[mayhem]

Did that maiden ever get down to the Members end to face a couple of balls?

[dsg]

Make all races time certain and there is no problem having time certain finishes. While they are at it get rid of compulsory tyre and fuel stops. Make the tank small enough for each car so they have to refuel and the race long enough that changing tyres is an advantage.

[old fart]

Mayhem, I was trying to keep some decorum in the forum!

[Umai Naa]

Hahahaha!

Nice one, Mayhem.

[Gaz170]

Talking of twenty 20 and super overs, after last night's match at the Gabba, with slow over rates and a super over, was after midnight before I got home to the Gold Coast.

Would have been better if they went for the timed finish and awarded the match to the higest placed team in the competition to advance to the finals, but thats just me as a sore loser talking.

[Gaz170]

Speaking of twenty 20, notice all the ads recently with the Supercar drivers in twenty 20 team colours playing cricket in the pit lane at Homebush? Nice cross promotion there.

[mayhem]

Twenty 20 Big Bash is a flash in the pan that only has 5 years left according to one bloke here. Cant wait to witness the cataclysmic event that will be needed to end it all...

[Woolley]

Cricket stuff

Just in case anyone's lost.

Same as 16

All round will be live on fox.
6 key rounds will live on ch 10
The remainder will have highlights packages on ch 10

Any changes will be announced closer to the season start

[numbnuts]

cheers . i don't mind the highlight hour . less talking heads .

[Umai Naa]

There's also overseas streaming options.

Full coverage of the actual racing, no ad-breaks.

Downside might be the iffy quality of the stream and pop-up ads.

[numbnuts]

is the overseas streaming available to view in aust ?
could you post the site please .
cheers .

Give these a shot. Like any streams, some are better than others. Some can be a bit dodgy, some can be extremely good. You can get a great stream off a site one day and it can be rubbish the next. Good luck
