Really good one-day cricket match against New Zealand was spoiled by having to come off and lose the best part of an hour due to rain.  But in my view was spoiled even more by a recalculation under the incomprehensible Duckworth/Lewis rules. When they went off, England needed 54 runs from 37 balls - that's an average of just under 1.5 runs per ball - the recalculated total was 34 runs from 13 balls - an average of just over 2.5 runs per ball.  Can anyone explain the sense in that?   A difficult but achievable target turns into a well-nigh impossible one.  I think Messrs Duckworth and Lewis need to explain themselves.
