.. of their batting in Centurion ODI. SA batted first and made 250 in 46 overs. Yet India was given a target of 268 in 46 overs!! India made 234. Lost by 17 runs? NO, by 34, thanks to the unsceintific Lewis-Duckworth formula.

Duckworth Lewis isn't perfect, but it's better than what went before, which very much over-favoured the side batting second.

England are getting stuffed by Australia in the one days, so far.
