How many time have D/L method screwed South Africa?
They just lost another match by 1 runs to England, Thanks to these two geniuses Duckworth and Lewis. ICC needs to look into this formula to make it better so every one understands it.
re: D/L Method + England v South Africa 1st T20
D/L and all other methods were made to screw SA,, it started back then in 92 WC Semi Final, when they were asked to make first 22 runs in 7 balls and then when they protested they were asked to make 22 Runs in 1 Ball..
re: D/L Method + England v South Africa 1st T20
92 WC Semi Final didn't use D/L method. And the reason they went from 22 runs in 7 balls to 21 runs in 1 ball wasn't because they protested, but because they lost about an over's worth of playing time due to rain, and the prevailing method for such calculations in Australia at the time determined 21 runs in 1 ball.

sirkaar.. I know it was not D/L in 92 WC.. however,, the score first was 22 required off 13 balls, which got reduced due to the rain to 22 off 7 balls, then SA protested and the committee gave them the new target of 22 off 1 ball...
you can verify with any other senior or other sources..thanks..
Let's also give England some credit here. It takes some doing to score 202 in a T20 game against a team like South Africa. Eoin Morgan's knock, 85 off just 45 balls (watch parts 2 & 3) was a real masterclass. This Irish left hander first made headlines during the recent CT with his powerful hitting. He can hit the ball really hard, a very good find for England.
