D-L to review their formula for T20

The Duckworth-Lewis method for the fairest possible result in rain-marred cricket matches will be reviewed for the Twenty20 format after its appropriateness was questioned in the quickest version of the game. Eyebrows were raised when hosts England were ousted from the T20 World Cup after their five-wicket loss to the West Indies in a rain-marred match, in which the Caribs were given a revised target of 80 runs from nine overs against the original score of 161. "Certainly, people have suggested that we need to look very carefully and see whether in fact the numbers in our formula are totally appropriate for the Twenty20 game," admitted Lewis, the inventor of the system with his statistician partner Frank Duckworth. Duckworth said the duo would work on the method after collecting more data from the T20 World Cup.
