Now you're talking perfect sense mate. Yes, I always thought this is exactly how the professional edition works.

@Ankit:
Actually no, what I had in mind is slightly different (but not vastly different). Maybe they don't calculate from %ile. They probably use a multiplication factor on par (i.e. mean, not 50%ile). If after the interruption, the batting team gets x overs (in our case 5) out of y overs (in our case 12) remaining, and the performace in those x overs is par*m (maybe m=1.55 in our case?) they probably adjust it to something close to
par+{par*(m-1)*(x/y)} for y overs. [i.e. par*1.23 for example]
[And then back-calculate the 43 over target for the team batting 2nd in the usual way (assuming team 1's 50 over score is 38-over score + par*1.23 for last 12)]
This is how I always thought it works; and with that asumption I've never been surprised by a revised target in case of 1st innings interruptions. But obviously, Professional Edition isn't pubic knowledge - so that's only my guess.

Yeah, Kallis' importance is truly realised in his absence. I had him in my top 10 odi players in the exercise we are doing on cw currently.

New Zealand cricket fans are lucky because all of our stupid sports fans are rugby fans.

I blame
a) SL for passing on the infection and
b) Viriya for saying Proteas would take the cup from here after beating SL.

More like I wondered.. I still do think SA would have a better chance of beating Aus at MCG than NZ.

dont think NZers have to hugely readjust or do anything totally different from the way they have been playing. It's not like the final is in the sub continents all of a sudden

Congratulations to New Zealand, the best team won no doubt about that. Bazza has played a thoroughly entertaining brand of Cricket to lead his team to their first final, well deserved.
South Africa looked very up and down all tournament, if they had won today it would have been a bit of a travesty given both teams resoective form throughout the tournament!

The BCs are not the ABs. With the ABs there is an expectation we will win cos we are the dominant team.
As a BC fan I'm just enjoying the ride. We are playing good cricket. We've got the whole country behind us. Just go out there and play hard and enjoy yourselves on the biggest cricket stage in the world.

Yea but getting to the final just to lose to Aus is not something I'd sign up for.
