Average first innings total including the current match (and excluding the rain-reduced Scotland v NZ) is 158.27 (6.73 wickets). Second innings average is lower obviously.

Bad luck for England.. Windies did well to up their runrate against south africa when they knew they were not going to win..

What games have shown us that?

Norwood's on Fire
Yes indeed, if we lose that way then so be it.
I just hope Dyson is in sole charge of the Windies calculations

Yes you're quite right. Those are the rules and fair play to West Indies if they win as a result.
Duckworth Lewis in T20s needs a major overhaul though if 47 off 5 is the revised target for a team that needs 162 off 20 to win.

Bit harsh on Morgan, hardly had plenty of chances has he? He's not a hitter though, but neither are Collingwood or Strauss. FWIW, Morgan has a better domestic T20 record than StraussBoyBrumby said:

I guess this is where cricket pisses around, schedules a restart in half an hour and then it rains again.

D/L works reasonably well in ODI because the values placed on resources (wickets and overs remaining) are based on historical data, and the model has been revised a number of times since being introduced (to reflect increased scoring rates in ODIs etc).
I'm not sure if the Twenty20 calculations are based on modified ODI calculations or if they're based on Twenty20 data. If it's the former, it's likely to be inaccurate because they're fundamentally different games. If it's the latter, it's likely to be inaccurate because of the relative paucity of Twenty20 data to accurately base predictions on. In either case it shouldn't be surprising if the D/L predictions are ostensibly unfair.

Get on with it.
And again absolutely stupid to bat first. Generally speaking it's easier chasing anyway.

Especially with such a threadbare batting line-up

Hmmm - not sure that Broad, Anderson or Sidebottom would agree with that. Nor would I if they got crocked sliding all over the Oval tonight.Think cricket should be played in the rain anyway
