Is Jayadevans proposed method better than the Duckworth/Lewis method?
Srinivas Bhogle It is going to be difficult to answer this question. My gut feeling is that Jayadevan’s proposed method to reset targets in interrupted limited over international (LOI) cricket matches could indeed challenge the Duckworth/Lewis method. But we will have to do a lot of work before we can reach a decisive verdict. One way to reach this verdict would be to determine objective criteria to compare the two methods, look at a large number of examples and, finally, simply argue. This should certainly get us somewhere. The “objective” criteria I can think of five criteria, perhaps in that order: • the target set should be fair and reasonable • calculations must be easy and understandable • the method must handle all kinds of interruptions • the underlying mathematical model should be theoretically valid, internally consistent and, hopefully, even elegant • the method must be able to handle special or unusual situations sufficiently well.
