- The Duckworth/Lewis rule works on the concept of 'resource
percentages', a measure of what percentage of a full 50 over innings
is remaining giving the current game position.
- As the AXA games are 40 overs, we start with a resource percentage
of 90.3% (of a full 50 overs).
- The Middlesex innings was interrupted after 22 overs with 3 wickets
down - i.e. with 18 overs remaining. At this point, we have a
resource percentage of 47.4% remaining.
- It resumed after the loss of 5 overs, i.e. with 13 remaining. At this
point, Middlesex have a resource percentage of 38.1% remaining.
- Thus, Middlsex have lost 9.3% from their original 90.3%, i.e. their
125 was made from a resource of 81%.
- Sussex only get to bat for 35 overs. This represents a resource percentage
of 84.2%, 3.2% more than Middlesex had.
- In this 3.2%, Middlesex *should* have been able to get 3.2% of 225
runs (225 runs is the average number of runs an ECB county should get
from a resource percentage of 100%), namely 7.2 runs.
- Thus Sussex are set a target of 125 + 7.2, or (rounding up), 133.
