Victory for the Nomads

The rain-affected game against Kempton last Sunday didn't feel like a victory, even after John's splendid catch off Gopi's bowling to take the 4th wicket. The balance of the match felt quite even and we guessed Kempton had plenty of batting to come. However, you cannot have a draw in a limited-overs game; only a win, a tie or an abandoned match where either side has not had more than a stated percentage of its allotted overs (usually between 25% and 40%.) This was not the case in Sunday's match as Kempton faced 47.6% of their overs before the heavens opened.
Until the mid 1990s, most matches were decided on faster run rate - which would produce a Nomads win by 5.14 per over to 4.32.
More recently, Messrs Duckworth and Lewis have cast their barely comprehensible mathematical cloud over one-day cricket and, after wrestling with their website for several hours, I have reached the following conclusion about the Kempton game;
Nomads won by 4 runs.
Not that we are desperate for a victory of course, or that I have a sad life. NL
