Question

If a batsman get bowled on free hit and ball goes to boundary, will four runs be added or not? Is there any rule about this?

Answer 1

The Duckworth–Lewis–Stern method (DLS) is a mathematical formulation designed to calculate the target score for the team batting second in a limited overs cricket match interrupted by weather or other circumstances. The method was devised by two English statisticians, Frank Duckworth and Tony Lewis and was formerly known as the Duckworth–Lewis method (D/L). It was introduced in 1997, and adopted officially by the ICC in 1999. After the retirements of Duckworth and Lewis, Professor Steven Stern became the custodian of the method and it was renamed to its current title in November 2014.[2][3] Shrivats Chandra claimed the DLS was initiated in 1992, however he was mistaken.
