Agree - Duckworth Lewis does not work in that format
(a) they could have played 20 overs - if you've got lights then use them; and
(b) in the 50 over games wickets lost comes into the equation in which case England would have won. Why should it not do in 20/20. They were basically given a free blast at 9 overs knowing it was highly unlikely they would all be bowled out.
if i cared about 20/20 cricket I would be very upset. as it is its just a bit of fun and not a proper game so am only mildly irked!
