Cricket World Cup: Duckworth Lewis

What’s going on?
I don’t know.

Something just seems so wrong with using Duckworth Lewis for a final.
Especially when it’s already reduced overs.

*argh*

So, are they batting it out or not?
I’m confused.
Are they trying to make the 282?
/me bites nails
/me is anxious

Does anybody know what target Sri Lanka is chasing??
How many overs are being lost?
This is a final. Can’t they work out these things?

Duckworth Lewis is some method they use to calculate new totals when something (usually rain or light) interrupts the play and a team has less overs to bat. So, Sri Lanka lost two overs in the rain and I think the target has now been reduced from 282 to 269. I’m not sure how Duckworth Lewis is calculated. I guess I should find out?
