New formula for rain-hit IPL matches

[Sachin=GOD]

BCCI has approved Kerala engineer V Jayadevan's technique to compute target scores in interrupted IPL matches. The 46-year-old engineer explained that he presented his system, the 'VJD', at the Board of Control for Cricket in India's technical committee meeting in Chennai on Friday. "I spent half an hour with the committee headed by former India captain Sunil Gavaskar and answered queries. I was then told that my system would be put into practice in the next edition of IPL," said Jayadevan. His formula is applicable in both one-day and T20 forms of cricket. Jayadevan, a civil engineer, holds a Master's degree in building technology from the Indian Institute of Technology, Madras. He is currently deputy director, publications division, in the Kerala Engineering Research Institute. "Since 2007, the BCCI has used my model in about 30 domestic matches," said Jayadevan. He said he accidentally developed an alternative to the Duckworth-Lewis (D/L) mathematical formula, currently used for calculating the target for a team batting second in interrupted matches, after starting work a decade ago. "The D/L formula uses a concept of resources available and resources used, while my model employs the concept of normal and target scores. The method is capable of satisfactorily handling any number of interruptions during any stage of a the game," added Jayadevan. He may have been working on this project for the past one decade, it was only recently that he was financed by the BCCI. "Over the years, I have made certain modifications in my model and the one that is going to be used in the IPL is the model I fine-tuned in 2007," added Jayadevan. The BCCI, after being convinced of this new model and agreeing to put it in practice in the next edition of IPL, has agreed to present this model to the International Cricket Council.

[Son of Pakistan]

so apparently this guy had come up with a better formula than duck and lewis.....ok....lolz

[Son of Pakistan]

ohhh...rain has interrupted play so target has been increased from 200 in 20 overs to 1200 in five overs...wow...what a formula

[achilles]

Indian's formula comes to the fore. Expect the world to hate us even more now, esp. those chums from England :hehe:

Just because Pakistani players are not participating in IPL why do you have to ridicule everything connected with the IPL ?

When did this happen? This is not some shakoor rana and rajnikanth formula 1 pakistani lbw = 100 kafir lbw

Dude' date=' [b']your nation is great. So is ours. Lets keep it at that.

Is it? Dont think a lot of posters here would agree with you. I for one am not for starters.

[jibranpatel15]

thank god finally someone has come up with a diffrent formula simply bcoz the D/L method is fu**ing and i hope this formula is balanced to both teams and not putting a team needing 21 from 11 to 21 from 1 ball which happended in 1992 WC to South Africa
