Can someone explain to me the d/l method. Trying to read about that makes me feel like i'm in statistics class.

At an extremely basic level d/l extrapolates how many runs a side would have scored off their full allocation of overs based on how many deliveries were lost and wickets they had in hand. But you probably already knew that much. You can't really explain it without it feeling like a statistics class.

e: maybe this will help https://bademian.wordpress.com/2014/11/08/the-dl-story-so-far/ but imo you're better off just assuming it's magic.

Yeah all I was talking about was the general idea of resources and how a loss of resources is subtracted from the total, because most people don't seem to understand even how that bit works.

The other part of it is how they pin percentage amounts to each lost resource, but nobody who isn't a mathematician should worry about that.

Agreed - BA flies a Boeing 777 to and from Sydney not an A380. Massive cock up by the meme creator there. He'll never recover from this.

The answer is, mate, because I want to do you slowly. There has to be a bit of sport in this for all of us. In the psychological battle stakes, we are stripped down and ready to go. I want to see those ashen-faced performances; I want more of them. I want to be encouraged. I want to see you squirm.

Ricky Ponting has a golf handicap of zero, or scratch. It's not funny, nor surprising; It's just a little bit cool.

He tells a story in his book about winning money in a pro-am or something similar and having to give it back because it would have made him a professional and meant he couldn't play on a bunch of courses

He should just stop being wicketkeeper and concentrate on his batting. Then he can retire when he has smashed all of Frauddulkar's records.
