DL Method explained with worked examples

With the cricket World Cup only a couple of weeks away, I thought I would go through a few Duckworth Lewis scenarios for people wanting to use my calculator to follow the matches.

This page has the text for the worked examples but below are illustrations of what the calculator should look like for each one.

Example 1:

Note that to get the wickets to appear, you need to left click.

Example 2:

To create yet-to-be-played and restricted overs, right click to the earliest ball in the innings that is yet to be bowled (black will then show from that point to the end of the innings), right click again on the ball representing the start of the restricted overs for yellow to appear.

Example 3:

And just because it was so enjoyable, below is what you should have had if you followed the second match of the recent CBS series (described here) just as they'd come back from the second rain break.

There was quite a big spike in traffic to my online Duckworth Lewis calculator page yesterday... I think mainly due to West Indies beating India by D/L method in the DLF Cup.

If anyone has any comments or suggestions for improving the calculator, please make them here (any bugs too, please contact me). I know there's a flicker issue with version 1 at the moment.
