Duckworth-Lewis method of resetting targets www.duckworth-lewis.com
The D/L method of resetting targets in rain-affected one-day cricket matches has now been in operation for over four years and has been called into use on more than 200 occasions. It has been adopted by the International Cricket Council as the standard 'rain-rule' in the test playing countries and in many associate member countries for a two year period from Sept 1999 following its adoption for the 1999 World Cup competition
The method is the invention of Frank Duckworth and Tony Lewis. Frank is a consultant statistician and editor of the Royal Statistical Society's monthly news magazine, RSS NEWS. Tony is a lecturer in Quantitative Methods in Management in the Business School at Oxford Brookes University. The method was developed in the early part of the 1990s when Tony was working at the University of the West of England, Bristol and when Frank and Tony lived quite close to each other in Gloucestershire.
