About the book

Name cricket's most famous partnership nowadays and one can forget Hobbs and Sutcliffe, Statham and Trueman or Lillee and Thomson. Instead one has to turn to Duckworth and Lewis, the two statisticians who brought order to the one-day game when rain interfered. These days, almost every weather-truncated one-day match throughout the world is decided by the Duckworth Lewis method. This book tells the story behind it, how it came into being and how the pair were criticised when commentators failed to understand the logic behind their system.
