TLDR
A method is described for setting revised target scores for the team batting second when a limited-overs cricket match has been forcibly shortened after it has commenced, designed so that neither team benefits or suffers from the shortening of the game.Abstract:
A method is described for setting revised target scores for the team batting second when a limited-overs cricket match has been forcibly shortened after it has commenced. It is designed so that neither team benefits or suffers from the shortening of the game and so is totally fair to both. It is easy to apply, requring nothing more than a single table of numbers and a pocket calculator, and is capable of dealing with any number of interruptions at any stage of either or both innings.read more
