The Duckworth-Lewis Method:

Eleven Years On

The talk will describe why and how the Duckworth-Lewis method for resetting targets in rain-interrupted one-day cricket matches came about and the way the mathematics of the method has since been upgraded to take advantage of the increasing availability of computers in scorers' boxes. The experience from over 800 applications world-wide will be reviewed.
