New rules have been brought from time to time to maintain fairness in cricket. One of these rules is named ‘Duckworth Lewis’, which appears to be very complicated like his name. It is also known as DLS and is usually used in rain -affected matches. Do you understand DLS well? Do you know how to apply DLS rule? If not, here you will get answers to these questions.

First of all, we know what is this DLS rule? In fact, when the overs are cut in a match due to rain, storm or any other reason, then the team chasing the target is given a new target through the DLS process while maintaining fairness in the match.

How did the DLS rules come?

In the game of cricket, new rules were brought to maintain fairness in the matches affected by rain, but disputes arose from time to time. The DLS rule was discovered by two British statisticians named Frank Duckworth and Tony Lewis. He started considering this rule after the controversy in the semi -final match of the 1992 ODI World Cup. In that semi -final match, South Africa had to score 22 runs in 13 balls, while South Africa had to score 21 runs in 1 ball when the match started again after the rain.

The surnames of Frank Duckworth and Tony Lewis were named ‘Duckworth Lewis Rules’. The International Cricket Council (ICC) finally adopted the DLS rule in 1999 to reset the target score. For the first time, this rule was used in the England vs. Zimbabwe match in January 1997. Even after being used for so many years, questions have been raised about the DLS rule.

How to apply DLR Rule?

The DLS method is calculated on the basis of remaining wickets and remaining overs. In this, attention is also paid to resources, for which a special table has been prepared. Whenever the match is stopped for some reason, a new target is set based on the remaining wickets and remaining overs of the chase team.

For example, if a team scored 300 runs in 50 overs. In response, the other team has lost 2 wickets in the 20 -overs game and then the rain disturbs the match. So the team chasing the target will have 88.1 percent resources left. To set the new target, the score of the first team will be multiplied by the number that will come to the remaining resources of the second team by 100.

There are many inequalities in limited overs cricket and Test matches. There is also rules regarding an inequality wide ball. The rules regarding wide are very strict in white ball matches, but less strictness in this matter in Test matches. Many times it happens that even when the ball is ball on the leg side, the umpire does not indicate the wide. After all, what are the rules of wide in red ball cricket and is it very difficult to understand them? Understand the entire rule in details here.

Talk about white ball cricket, the wide line/white line is about 89 centimeters from the stumps, and is a return crease at some distance. But in Test matches, there is no white line on the pitch for wide balls, there is only a white line with returns. Actually, wide is given in Test matches only when the ball is far away from the batsman’s reach. Wide balls have a lot of effect in ODI and T20 matches, while in Test matches, extra runs do not have much effect.

Usually when a bowler throws the ball out of the return crease, it is called wide. At the same time, if the ball passes through the return crease, but it is far from the batsman’s reach, then he will be called wide. Test rules for off-stump and leg stump wide balls are the same. Apart from this, even when a bowler passes by the bouncer batsman’s head, the umpire calls him wide.

One of the main reasons for not getting too wide in Test matches is that in red-ball matches, the competition between fielding and batting team is done to maintain the competition level. The bowlers have to throw long spells, so strict rules for the wide can be contrary to the bowling team.

Test is the longest and oldest format of cricket game. Usually a Test match lasts for 5 days, but both teams are dismissed before time, then the match can end on the second, third or fourth day. In the recent past, the problem of slow-over rate in red-ball cricket has gained momentum, because the team has been unable to bowl 90 overs in a day. Have you ever noticed the rules of ICC why only 90 overs are thrown in a day. Can bowling be more than 90 overs in a day. Understand the answer to this question in detail here.

If you look at the rules of the Test match, it is mandatory to bowl 90 overs in a day. There are three sessions in a day and each session has a rule to bowl 30 overs. Actually, according to the rules, at least 90 overs have to be thrown in a day, but there is no limit to throw more over. The number of 90 overs a day is seen as a standard. At the same time, during the entire Test match, at least 450 overs have to be thrown within five days, but more overs can also be thrown.

Usually the speed of overs per hour is 13-15 and most teams are not able to complete 90 overs in a day. In such a situation, the problem of slow-over rate is increasing. ICC has also made new rules to deal with this problem. This rule has just been implemented in ODI and T20 that the bowling team will have to start the next over in a span of 60 seconds. If a team is found to be violating this rule thrice in a single match, then he will have to suffer a penalty of five runs.

Records have been made on records in this stormy batting era in cricket. Talk about ODI matches here, it is very difficult for a team to score 400 runs. If we say that the same player has scored 400 runs in the ODI match, will you be able to believe? Yes, the record of playing an unbeaten 404 runs in the same innings of the ODI match is in the name of Mustakim Houladar. This feat took place in Bangladesh, where a student of ninth grade in school level cricket scored an innings of more than 400 runs.

This historical record has not been much time. It was March this year when two school teams were fighting at the district level in Bangladesh. For the Cambrian school, Mudakim Houladar started the innings and no one was able to dismiss him throughout the 50 overs.

Keep batting for 260 minutes

Mustakim Houladar spent 4 hours 20 minutes at the area at the crease as an opener. He played a historic innings of 404 runs, facing 170 balls. His strike rate was 237.64 and in this innings he hit 50 fours and 22 sixes. Haluladar had scored 332 runs with fours and sixes.

His innings also became memorable for another reason, as he had partnered 699 runs with captain Saud Pervez. Parvez himself remained unbeaten in an innings of 256 runs in 124 balls. Parvez hit 32 fours and 13 sixes in his innings. Think of how many runs this team must have scored due to such giant innings. The innings of Cambrian School ended at 770 runs on the basis of historical innings of Haladar and Parvez.

Even more amazing is that the team of St. Grigory School was playing in front. This team, who came to chase the target of 771 runs, was all out for just 32 runs. In this way, Cambrian School had won 738 runs.
