Duckworth–Lewis–Stern method

Australia win the first really luckily because of rain.

There's a pre-Duckworth Lewis rain situation.

And then Sri Lanka win the second one-day match, which is big for Sri Lanka.

This is the first time they've ever beaten Australia in one of these games.

Brandy, before we do go, I just looking at the big-- This would've come across your desk, no doubt at all.

But Portland Colts and the South Portland B grade game last week, it came down to a Duckworth-Lewis system win in the end.

You, you, you know about this?

Yeah, I did hear about it.

How did that result come about?

So with the, the, the new play HQ scoring, it does come down to wickets lost, wickets remaining.

So the iPad, the magic iPad tells us what, what they're chasing and what they need and yeah, obviously with the, the Duckworth-Lewis, it's a It's a different system and yeah, unfortunately, sometimes you can make more runs and, and lose, and just comes down to, yeah, wickets taken and, and things like that.

Interesting.

Morning, Shannon.

The McIntyre legacy in AFL has the same reaction as Duckworth Lewis in cricket.

Is it good or bad? I don't know.

It's a good text, Sue.

University made 182.

The target was reduced to 177 with Duckworth, Lewis, Stern.

Midland Guilford were all out for 150.

Wilbur Zisto, he continues his good form, the captain there at university.

In their first 11, they had a win.

They made six for 231 off their 40 overs.

Duckworth Lewis-Stern came into play as there was a little bit of rain around.

They had to chase 182 South Perth in 27 overs.

They won the second game by 32 runs.

And Australia won the last game by 45 runs with the Dutch with Lewis because of the weather.

So that's pretty much what happened across the two series for Australia in Zimbabwe and South Africa.

But first of all, Jihan, let's talk about the Zimbabwe and Australia ODI series.

After 28 overs of the reply, South Africa 145 for four.

The Aussies, Cam, were well ahead, so they get the victory via Duckworth-Lewis.

Yes, more consolation really for what was a tough start to the series for them.

Um, they played well today.

That's exactly what happened.

Um, yeah, Duckworth-Lewis got involved, uh, on the DLS method.

Australia won by 45 runs technically, but South Africa were, you know, more than, uh, well, less than halfway there with more than half the overs gone.

And also Tony de Zorzi wasn't gonna be able to feature because he, he had a bad hamstring, so unless he was gonna Graeme Smith it at number 11 or something like that, he probably wasn't gonna feature, which meant that y- they would have been into the bowlers with one more wicket essentially.

So the game was pretty much done.

It was one of these versions where the Waikiki formula, uh, is-- delivers a form of justice by deciding which team was likely to win, 'cause you could pretty easily see which team was likely to win.

But it didn't necessarily feel that way at the halfway mark then, and I was wondering about this.

I was, I was pondering this, this existential question while also having an eye on India chasing 400 in, what, 43 overs, whatever it was that they ran that down, and how it...
