I have no understanding of NRR and how it is calculated. Feel free to educate me.
As we all know, Duckworth/Lewis is a mathematical formula to tweak a result from games at play. Mostly D/L is on the money. So with that in mind I have devised a formula that will bring fairness and good governance to event like the Cricket World Cup .
One of the biggest drawback from events such as CWC is weather affectedness. At the moment there is CWC19 running in England and Wales and fair to say a few no results due to rain. And there will be more. What this does is unbalance the Table as only one point is given for a No Result. That's well and good if all teams suffer and there is a balance. My concern is that a few teams might suffer accordingly on the wrong side of table and tip the results.
My proposal is that a win scores 5 points, a Draw/Tie is 3 points and No Result 2 points.
The next proposal is about awarding NRR as calculated as such (currently only done for Win/Draw) It means both teams involved have movement accordingly on the table, critical if it comes to sorting play off matches. Say if the West Indies have 3 matches rained off, they still have fluidity on the table, compared say if New Zealand or others have who have had no rain issues. I see it all as a fair and just way to run the competition.
The formula for NRR is this.
At time of Rained Out match - New Zealand has a NRR of 0.250, West Indies have a NRR of 0.06. Add both and attain an average (0.250+0.06) /2 = 0.155 This score is factored in the current NRR calculation.
As I stated - I seek fairness for all.
