I noticed yesterday that 8 overs were added to Saturday's play to make up for the 36 overs that were lost on Friday. Can anyone tell me how this is calculated? As far as I can see, if 18 overs were lost, then 4 overs would be added to the next day if I use the same fraction applied here.
Are we talking about English tradition again or is there a proper reason behind this logic. For instance I would have started play at 10am and stated that 126 overs were to be bowled in the day. By my calculations, play would have still ended at 7.20pm.
