For those who don't understand Duckworth-Lewis: Imagine you're in school and you played a game against your friends, but break ended before you could finish. Normal people would call it a draw or continue later, but Duckworth is the guy who goes on arguing that if you look at past games and compare it to how far you got, then really he would have won so he thinks that it should count as a win. Nobody likes him

[@jarrodbright5231]

The only people who pretend to understand the Duckworth Lewis calculations are mathematicians. And as a mathematician let me say it's a crap system that relies on some very outdated assumptions.

[@jeffthedoggo7990]

@@jarrodbright5231 How? I was under the impression that it uses regularly updated stats to do the resource calculations.

[@jarrodbright5231]

@@jeffthedoggo7990 The rate of change in cricketing statistics against the rate of certain scenarios occurring means that in many of the potential match situations occurring, statistics dating back 10-15 years are in use in the current calculations in the Duckworth Lewis method. For example, if looking at a corner case situation such as a match is interrupted with 5 wickets down in the 8th over of the game, you are including matches from as far back as the 2007 edition of the T20 World Cup in your calculations because that scenario has been that rare. The way a team would have responded to this scenario in 2007 probably isn't all that relevant to how they would respond in 2022. Simply put, without an adequately large body of statistics for certain corner case cricketing match situations there are a lot of situations where DL method falls over. Or to put it another way "there are lies, damned lies and statistics"

[@sainischalreddyashamgari7457]

@@jarrodbright5231 since cricket is a running game that changes regularly, wouldn't the statistics from 15 yrs back also be sort of relevant to today's game? Also I don't know even a little bit about how the DLS system works but would there be a possibility of perhaps making it so the stats from 15 yrs ago have much less weighting than the stats from recent times?(Kind of like the "Holt Winters method?). From a high school student, not a mathematician(yet?) lol. Edit: I understand you saying that very specific scenarios tend to be super rare but is it possible maybe that the super rare scenarios that happened in the past get more weighting and scenarios similar to that also get weighting but less weighting on the calculation? Basically weighting is heavier as the stat is more recent and the weighting is heavier when a stat is very similar to the context we're working with and this way you kind of incorporate how recent teams would have dealt with it into the calculation? Idk I'm rambling at this point

[@smoog]

Reminds me of the old explanation of Cricket: You have two sides, one out in the field and one in. Each man that's in the side that's in goes out, and when he's out he comes in and the next man goes in until he's out. When a man goes out to go in, the men who are out try to get him out. When he is out, he goes in and the next man in goes out and goes in. When they are all out, the side that's out comes in and the side that's been in goes out and tries to get those coming in, out. Sometimes you get men still in and not out. There are two men called umpires who stay all out all the time and they decide when the men who are in are out. Sometimes they will decide to send everyone in, even if they're not out, until such a time for them to go back out. When both sides have been in and all the men have out, and both sides have been out twice after all the men have been in, including those who are not out, that is the end of the game.
