His actual quotes were &#8220;As soon as you get to D\/L method, the game is over. We were on our way to 134-140. We were looking for 25 runs in the last 3 overs. The track was turning. We knew it will be a difficult chase with our spinners, but as soon as D\/L came into play, it was pretty much game-over for us.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\">\n<p style=\"text-align: left\">Fleming&#8217;s main concerns were :\u00a0 Duckworth-Lewis is not made for T20 cricket and it\u2019s not suitable to the game and repeated efforts to change this rule has not worked.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\">\n<p>He said: &#8220;I&#8217;ve been saying that for years. The others have said it as well, but there&#8217;s no point carrying on too much about it. There&#8217;s no willingness to change. It\u2019s not made for a T20 game. It&#8217;s just ridiculous really and until it\u2019s addressed you just hope the sky doesn\u2019t open.We would have scrapped to 135-140, and if someone had played really well we could have gone to 150. The spinners that we&#8217;ve got, it would have been a difficult chase. As soon as we came to know the target with all the rain and wet ball, we knew it was impossible for us. he concluded&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\">\n<p style=\"text-align: left\">\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Duckworth-Lewis Method is rubbish says the Supergiants coach Stephen Fleming Stephen Fleming the Rising Pune Supergiants coach expressed his unhappiness over the Duckworth-Lewis Method which came into play in a rain-affected game against Kolkata Knight Riders, Fleming termed the (D\/L method) which is there in the game for year&#8217;s as rubbish. &#8220;Duckworth-lewis Method is rubbish&#8221;, [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1924,"featured_media":8204,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[599,70,8,170,140],"tags":[601,711,718,604,613],"class_list":["post-8203","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-ipl2016","category-featured","category-interesting-stories","category-cricket-news","category-updates","tag-ipl-2016","tag-kkrvsrps","tag-kokata-knight-riders","tag-live-blog","tag-rising-pune-supergiants"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/cricbol.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8203","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/cricbol.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/cricbol.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cricbol.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1924"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cricbol.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=8203"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/cricbol.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8203\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":8205,"href":"https:\/\/cricbol.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8203\/revisions\/8205"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cricbol.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/8204"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/cricbol.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=8203"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cricbol.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=8203"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cricbol.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=8203"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
