Nope, they just have to beat what we get in our 43.

Surely not. There has to be a revision of our target.

I agree with this,
Otherwise we will be negatively effected in a huge way.

6.40pm A reminder that whatever South Africa will be adjusted. For example if they end up with 280, the revised target will be 297 in 43 overs

yes of course

NZ target will be DL adjusted according to SS.

Meh

Meh..nonsense by Cricinfo

As a point of clarity, ESPN points out that England's innings was cut short when the overs weren't completed by 6:10pm (the rescheduled close of innings time),[8] Cricinfo say that had Duckworth–Lewis been applied to the entire game, South Africa's target from the original 45 overs would have been 273, which would then have been reduced to 257 from 43 overs, i.e. five runs more than they were set under the most productive overs rule.

DL does not apply retroactively, there are targets for each combination of overs/wickets and forecast on situation as it is. There has never ever been a DL target close to 22/1 ball, let alone 27/1 ball

Reduced to 43overs

I stand corrected : 6.40pm A reminder that whatever South Africa will be adjusted. For example if they end up with 280, the revised target will be 297 in 43 overs

How many wickets down is that based on? We need a D/L sheet here.

Even that does not sound quite fair.
Seems like the universe just does not want us to win a world cup.


Edit. But ill take 297 in 43 overs

 

[scienide]

We need push now when back on field

 

[sand_man]

Rain shafted us proper. AB and Faf were looking ominous, especially with 7 overs of less than stellar bowling looming.

BIGTIME!!!!!

130-150 form the last 12!! 350-380 potentially!!!

M O T H E R F U C K E R!!!!

[OzzieCapie]

BTW, if the game goes 43 overs each, our 5th bowler only has to do 8, only three get 9

 

[WaxLyrical]

If they power 100 runs in the next 5 then NZ will have a mountain to climb as their total to win will be revised.

300+ was on the cards.

 

[Neoprod]

Ok. Let's try this.

Outfield will also be slower?

Damn this is hard.

NZ will bowl with a wet ball and noobs at that for at least 2 of the 5 overs.

 

[faniebraai]

There was no Duckworth Lewis in 1992, Mr Dry...they actually used our loss as a use case for developing DL.

yeh sorry, back then it was callled "the rain rules" sorry mr duckschit&blewits

 

[Neoprod]

Eff u, Henry.

 

[MickeyD]

There's a noise...

 

[Unhappy1]

Faf looks out?

 

[The_Ogre]

BIGTIME!!!!!

130-150 form the last 12!! 350-380 potentially!!!

M O T H E R F U C K E R!!!!

D/L. If we make 60 from these 5 overs its the same thing...if we don't lose wickets
