Duckworth Lewis Calculator

Duckworth Lewis Calculator is the biggest mystery of cricket. This is how it goes.




Find both the teams' (lets say Australia and India) average runs in the last five one day games. Divide the same by 0.22 (no. of players of both team / 10). Multiply by the number of minutes its been raining to the result. Again add the number of players of each team + umpires to the answer. Subtract the no. of overs to be played by Team 2. Take that as "r". Find 2*pi*r. Bingo! You get the number of runs the second team needs to score in the overs that can be played!

Of course you know i am joking...

Here's how you calculate the Duckworth Lewis. Just follow the link!
