Is it fair to implement Duckwort Lewis (D/L) method in a 20 over match?  email this discussion to a friend?

D/L method becoming a villan in this tournaMENT, it decides the winner in the way it likes, thats what i have felt about the method.
I always belive that it makes the tema defeat which would have won the match.

D/L never decrease the wickets when they reduce the target.
yesterday two match result was made using this rubbish method.
In amatch were WI would have probably lost chasing a huge a very good total, they become the winner by their performance of 5.5 overs.is it fair?

and the match zimbawe lost could have been in the other way if they ahve played the allowed overs, the main disadvantage the zimbawe had was that their runrate went down to -2, which wont have happen if they have palyed the match in full overs. now they are virtually out of the tournament

and T20 is a mini cricket, its already made small and how can you judge the match with just 5 overs? D/L should not be used atleast for t20.

Duckworth Lewis method is not a good one for t20 matches, England had good chance of winning the match but due to this method West Indies won comfortable, this method is good for 50 over match. In the group the other team is Ireland it's probable than England will win the match against Ireland and go to super 8. I would suggest in t20 world cup if it rains either the time should be extended to play the whole match or a reserve day should be there to conduct the match...

I don't think D/L method is fair in T20 matches.i think a better method should be invented that is suitable for both the teams.
Most of the times the fate of the match changes.
Also the rule that 5 overs of play is enough for an innings seems ridiculous to me. .T20 is a short form of game and just 5 overs of cricket enough to declare the winner!!? i think at least 10 overs should be considered.
Anyhow the host team WI is lucky this time!!

ya this spoils the joy of T20 cricket, deciding a match in just 5 overs in not all acceptable.
D/L always make the winning team a lossing side.
It is not making that much problem in 50 overs but in 20 overs its not at all satisfactory.

talking about fairness,where is the fairness to decide the winner in just 3 overs?i supported ireland from the way they bowled and should have won the match if it weren't for duckworth/luwis


myLot reputation of 97/100. ramaswamyvtkv (1501)   ranked 2 out of 1,869 in cricket  2 years ago

surely ireland would have won that match, how can we decide the result of a match in 5 overs, that too in a format in which the match changes in a single over!
its spoiling the thrill of 20 over cricket.

It's absolutely unfair if yo ask me. The match between England and West Indies was a joke the other day. When a team scores a massive 191 in 20 overs, most of the times it's going to win. The other day, West Indies got a target of just 60 from 6 overs out of which, 30 runs were already scored in the first 3 overs before the rain started. And the worst part is they have 10 wickets in hand. How easy?
Ask any team captain around the world which one would he prefer to chase. 191 from 20 overs or 30 from 3 overs... It's definitely not going to be the latter.
Just for argument sake, if West Indies had to bat the full 20 overs, surely there would be a lot of pressure on the batting side and probably loose wickets in regular intervals due to constant big hitting.
And when the big guns fall, it's easy to attack the tail handers and control the run flow. This will be strategy on a high scoring game like that.
But since the D/L method was in place, it was become so easy for West Indies to get just a few runs in 3 overs...
It's totally unfair and if this is going to continue in big matches like Semi-final or final, unfortunately, peoples are going to loose interest in the game.
Either D/L method should be banished for T20 or a serious revision in the formula of D/L method should be considered and implemented.

yes, its always easy to score 60 from 6 overs with 10 wickets in hand, but defenitely they would have been struggled in the mid way if they were chasing 191runs.
in 50 overs match minimum of 20 overs is needed to decide a match and in 20overs it just need 5 overs!
how pathetic it is, i feel that the minimum should be atleast 8 overs.
actually i strongly disagree this D/L method in the game of uncertainity, that too in a 20 over result its not possible to accept at all.
