We need a fairer system when it rains

8:22pm Thursday 2nd July 2009

AFTER a weekend that saw Blackrod and Edgworth stun two of the top three teams — the match between Little Hulton and Edgworth bordered on the surreal at times — it is perhaps strange that a match between two sides in the bottom half of the table dominates the headlines. It is almost exactly a year ago that I wrote about the need for the Duckworth Lewis system to be used when calculating results and targets in rain-affected games. The Bolton Association use a system based on the run rate required, and, as I said last year “the system is pretty good when it comes to calculating revised targets.” That is, it works well enough when the rain falls during the game with play resuming afterwards.
