Can you define a football match result or tennis or any other sports? Then why cricket came with this weird calculation?
Because Shortest format of cricket which is 20-20 lasts a minimum of 4 hours, 8-10 hours for ODI, that's not the case with other sports and Rain doesn't stop other sport's gameplay much.
I will leave a wise man quote here regarding the D/L method.
Well before that can you please explain the difference of red ball and white ball. The only thing I know is that for a D/N match or N match we use white ball.
There is a very interesting story and logical reason behind all this white-red ball saga, we need to go back to 70-80s for this. will update in a new post soon. or read about "
Kerry packer" he was the main reason who changed everything in cricket from the ball, D/N, Dress code etc etc.
After reading about him and his work you will see how hypocritic our cricket world is ( foreign cricketers legends who hates the IPL)
And Bhai I know
