To do that over 38 overs is easier than 50.

Tricky because we could also have lost 2 or three more wickets 2hich would reduce the required runs for NZ should it rain while they're batting

 

[Bighit]

Imagine if we had batted like the West Indies and got 202/8 after 25 overs, wonder what their DL total would have been...

Probably only 50 runs more due to the number of wickets

We would then still have 4 more wickets in hand, with 12 overs, I'd favour us.

Fahrk! Innings end 7.35

 

[Drifter]

Ok, so we get what? another 5-7 overs? What will their target be then, they have to bring DLS into this, so NZ may have a tough task ahead of them.

Its the WC Semi. Feck D&L. Let there be normal overs left.

 

[Pegging]

Ground staff taking their sweet time.

Does Southee still get 3 and Boult 1?

Depends on how many wickets are lost in that 5-7 overs too. Scoring 50/0 (266/3) might be better than 90/7 (306 all out) in determining the target required

I reckon the top line bowlers would be at their limit if overs removed

 

[thestaggy]

I swear, if we get effed over by Messrs Duckworth and Lewis again. . .

Duckworth and Lewis has evolved a lot from the days we got screwed over by it... I'm positive. But the impact of the last 10 overs compared to what d&l will give us... hmmm, not sure.

Duckworth Lewis has never effed us...we couldn't read the fecking cheat sheet.
