PRESSER: UNITED CRICKET BOARD WITH DR ALI BACHER &ì MATRIC STUDENT, WAYNE DO REGO re: New formula forì target scores in rain affected matches 00.00.42 WIDE PRESS TABLE DR ALI BACHER READINGì STATEMENT - WHY WAYNE'S PROPOSAL IS GOING TO BEì SUPPORTED BY THE UNITED CRICKET BOARD OF SA 00.01.29 RECEIVE REGULAR PROPOSALS ABOUT ANì APPROPRIATE FORMULA FOR TARGET SCORES IN RAINì AFFECTED MATCHES 00.01.58 GENERAL CONSENSUS IT'S PROBABLYì IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND THE ABSOLUTE FORMULA 00.03.35 ...and it's now history...that for thisì coming season, certainly for the domestic Benson &ì Hedges series matches, we will adopt Wayne'sì proposed formula... 00.04.26 ...I will be very surprised in fact if itì will not be used for the World Cup. 00.05.04 EVERYBODY CAN UNDERSTAND THE FORMULA IT'Sì IMMENENTLY FAIR THE FORMULA WILL HELP ENORMOUSLYì COACHES & CAPTAINS WHO ARE BATTING SECOND WHENì THERE'S BAD WEATHER AROUND 00.05.26 ...as you go out to bat in the 2ndì Innings you can at that point determine exactly ifì 30 overs are played & you come off what the targetì will be to win that match 00.05.42 ...the system recognize the fact that theì side with a relative reduction in overs is capableì of scoring much faster that the side with moreì overs... 00.09.16 CUTAWAYS PRESS 00.09.30 WAYNE EXPLAINING I first looked at whyì the Run-rate method doesn't work & if a teamì scores 250 overs that's a run-rate of 4...it's aì lot easier to score 4 runs per over for 25 oversì than it is for 50 overs 'cause you don't have asì high a risk of losing wickets & being all out... 00.09.54 I realised that as the game gets shorterì the run-rate must be increased. What is thisì relationship between overs & the run-rate? STUDIEDì 100S OF GAMES IN ENGLAND 00.10.54 EXPLAINING THE GRAPH 00.11.39 EXPLAINS THE FORMULA ...if a team has 30ì overs in which to bat you take the average for 30ì overs and you divide that by the average of 50ì overs and you times that by what the firts teamì made...and that lowers the run-rate to aì satisfactory manner... 00.13.07 COACH EXPLAINING 00.13.38 ...this does really make it very veryì simple. A schoolboy coach, that's a teacher, but aì schoolboy can do it; a schoolboy has done it!ì [LAUGHTER] 00.13.54 CUTWAYS 00.14.08 O/S WIDE TO PRESS 00.17.14 RAYMOND - IT'S IN PRACTICE THAT YOU FINDì A FORMULA'S SHORTCOMINGS 00.25.36 WIDE OVER PRESS TO TABLE 00.25.49 EXT OF WANDERERS CLUB HOUSE
