What is the VJD method in Cricket?
108509
And wasn't there another method to reset targets proposed by an Indian?\n\nYes, by V Jayadevan (VJD) in 2001. In fact rediff.com explained the VJD method, carried a detailed comparison of D/L vs VJD and concluded that the VJD method could be marginally better.\n\nThen what went wrong? \n\nThe VJD method was never officially forwarded to the ICC before its 2001 review. So it was decided to continue with the D/L method.\n\nAnd what's the latest on this D/L vs VJD question? \n\nWell, there was another ICC review in end-2004. This time the VJD method, which too now contains several significant improvements, 'officially' made it to the finals. But it's going to be dumped again!\n\nhttp://www.sportnetwork.net/boards/read/s119.php?f=118&i=320084&t=320084

duckworth-lewis is not used in every case,it comes into consideration only if 25 overs hv been bowled in the 2nd inn'gs. of a ODI. while it has been strongly disapproved by many cricket experts the reason that its still used is no other theory with a btr explanation has ever been introduced in cricket matches that are been suspended due to weather conditions.\n            It basically includes deduction of the 'required run rate' by the team batting second and the position or the run rate of the team at the time when play stops..if it exceeds the 'overal. req rate' then d team battin' sec. wins or otherwise the team dat batted first.\n             the basic funda behind D-L method is to get result and it still is under lot of controversy.

I think you are trying to convey " our Indian team must perform". Sorry dear, this may not be the solution for your thought. Without a view how people will evaluate and watch our teams performance. \n\nTelecasting is just for ENJOY the game at home !!!!!!!! Win or loss doesn't make any difference for a true cricket lover.\n\nThere are many other ways how our team can do better !!!!

problems with your footwork ???\n1)just before the australian tour in 2003 surave ganguly took some advice from greg chappell.The key factor is the mind! try to have a clear empty mind.....and ganguly came up with that majestic 144 at brisbane.\n\n* just like I said footwork depends on the ease with u approach the ball.In your case there might a slight fear for pace-bowling-what kind of ball do you use for playing?? Use some protection like gloves,pads. that removes the 'fear' part out of the equation.When u fear pace bowling you tend to clamp your legs together & that puts you to the back foot.try to draw yourselves to the front-foot.\n\n2)technical part\n* getting on the back-foot might give enough time to play a fast bowler.But for a fullish delivary try to get to the front foot.there is no better feeling for a batsman than driving a pace bowler .\n\n*In the initial stages of the game your feet -movement might get tentative. here’s what I do-just because most pace bowlers try to pitch the ball up to u, try to draw yourselves to the front foot .feel the sound of wood hitting the leather .For a shorter ball ,play a firm defensive shot off the back foot with authority. It gives u so much confidence\n\n3) Drills-\nThis one was introduced by Greg Chappell in the Indian team--mainly meant for sehwag. It helps in both hand eye coordination & footwork.\n*Get a friend to throw a ball at you. Now, u are supposed to catch it (with a single hand, I think-not sure)--but in the process, get to the best possible position to play a ball of similar length. I don't know how much this works or if there are any more details to it. But it must be good or else they won't make international players to do this.\n\n4) Playing mind games with bowler - fast bowlers are known for their aggression. Never let them take control. They feed on your fear! But u needn't play a blazing innings-all u have to do is to give them a sample of your technic ( follow this link for improving your general technic in batting. Its a link to an answer I recently gave           http://answers.yahoo.com/question/;_ylt=Aq.rzGkEds2ItVg43Vk_p5vsy6IX?qid=1006060102109          )\n\nPace bowlers have highest degree of respect for players like Dravid. Make them feel you aren't an easy catch-give them an impression they have to earn your wicket\n\nThings to keep in mind-\n1) Get your front foot to the pitch of the ball\n2) Leave not much room between bat & pad when u attempt a shot ( be compact)\n\n**Players like ponting have an initial forward movement, then make adjustments according to the length. This is something u can try if nothing else works. This keeps your feet always in turbo mode)\n\n*Through out the entire article I've stressed the need for a clear mind. Even Gregg Chappell, one of the greatest learners of the game feels so!!\n\nI’m having so much work. But felt this question needs attention. Mail me if it works!!

A Powerplay is a new rule concerning fielding restrictions in one-day international (ODI) cricket. In the past, there was a 15-over period at the start of an innings when only two fielders were allowed outside the 30-yard circle. This meant that attacking batsman were likely to score runs quickly in the first 15 overs, but would become more watchful at the end of the spell.\n\nIn an effort to keep the game more exciting during the middle overs, this rule was amended to apply only to the first 10 overs of every innings, but also in two blocks of five overs, Powerplays, which will be used at the discretion of the fielding captain.\n\n1. The first block of 10 overs in an innings, where the fielding restrictions are exactly the same as per the old ODI rules, is known asPowerplay 1. Two fielders have to be in close catching position. \n2. The first block of five overs chosen at the fielding captain's discretion is known as Powerplay 2. The fielding captain has to decide at which point he wishes to implement this rule. He can implement it at any stage in the match, even midway through an over, provided he informs the umpire. Only two fielders are allowed outside the 30-yard circle and the two close catchers are not mandatory in this case. \n3. The second block of five overs, identical to Powerplay 2 is known as Powerplay 3. \n4. The umpire will signal Powerplay by moving his arm in a circular motion. \n5. Should the fielding captain choose not to exercise his discretion, the remaining powerplays will automatically commence at the latest available point in the innings (i.e. at the start of the 41st and the 46th overs in an uninterrupted innings). \nThe Powerplay adds to the excitement in ODI cricket. If the batting team has got off to a very quick start, the fielding captain choose to delay Powerplay 2 and 3, and instead spread out the field to stem the flow of runs. Powerplays may then be taken when an attacking batsman is out, or when the run rate has been reduced. Otherwise, all 20 Powerplay overs are likely to be taken at the start of the batting team's innings.\n\nThe rule was first encountered in the One-day International between England and Australia on 7 July 2005. It is likely that this new experiment may be accepted and be a part of the playing conditions for the 2007 Cricket World Cup.\n\ngood luck

Many modes of dismissal require the wicket to be "put down". The wicket is put down if a bail is dislodged from the top of the stumps; or if a stump is struck out of the ground either by the ball, or by a fielder using his hand which is holding the ball. Of the following ten modes of dismissal, the first six are common, while the last four are technicalities which rarely occur. Briefly, the ten modes are:\n\nCaught — When a fielder catches the ball before the ball bounces and after the batsman has struck it with the bat or it has come into contact with the batsman's glove while it is in contact with the bat handle. The bowler and catcher are both credited with the dismissal. (Law 32) \n\nBowled — When a delivered ball hits the stumps at the batsman's end, and dislodges one or both of the bails. This happens regardless of whether the batsman has edged the ball onto the stumps or not. The bowler is credited with the dismissal. (Law 30) \n\nLeg before wicket (LBW) — When a delivered ball misses the bat and strikes the batsman's leg or pad, and the umpire judges that the ball would otherwise have struck the stumps. The laws of cricket stipulate certain exceptions in favour of the batsman; for instance, a batsman should not be given out LBW if the place where the ball bounced on the pitch is to the leg-side of the area strictly between the two wickets. The purpose of this rule is to prevent the batsman from unfairly using his pads to obstruct the passage of the ball without striking it. The bowler is credited with the dismissal. \n\nRun out — When a fielder, bowler or wicket-keeper removes one or both of the bails with the ball by hitting the stumps whilst a batsman is still running between the two ends. The ball can either hit the stumps directly or the fielder's hand with the ball inside it can be used to dislodge the bails. Such a dismissal is not officially credited to any player, although the identities of the fielder or fielders involved is often noted in brackets on the scorecard. \n\nStumped — When the batsman leaves his crease in playing a delivery, voluntarily or involuntarily, but the ball goes to the wicket-keeper who uses it to remove one or both of the bails through hitting the bail(s) or the wicket before the batsman has remade his ground. The bowler and wicket-keeper are both credited. This generally requires the keeper to be standing within arm's length of the wicket, which is done mainly to spin bowling. (Law 39) \n\nHit wicket — When the batsman accidentally knocks the stumps with either the body or the bat, causing one or both of the bails to be dislodged, either in playing a shot or in taking off for the first run. The bowler is credited with the dismissal. (Law 35) \n\nHandled the ball — When the batsman deliberately handles the ball without the permission of the fielding team. No player is credited with the dismissal. (Law 33) \n\nHit the ball twice — When the batsman deliberately strikes the ball a second time, except for the sole purpose of guarding his wicket. No player is credited with the dismissal. (Law 34) \n\nObstructing the field — When a batsman deliberately hinders a fielder from attempting to field the ball. No player is credited with the dismissal. (Law 37) \n\nTimed out — When a new batsman takes more than three minutes to take his position in the field to replace a dismissed batsman (If the delay is protracted, the umpires may cause the match to be forfeited). This rule prevents the batting team using time limits of the game to unfair advantage. No player is credited with the dismissal.-

Bodyline, also known as Fast Leg Theory, was a cricketing tactic devised by the English cricket team for their 1932–33 tour of Australia, specifically to combat the extraordinary batting skill of Australia's Don Bradman. Bodyline bowlers deliberately aimed the cricket ball at the bodies of batsmen, in the hope of creating legside deflections that could be caught by one of several fielders located in the quadrant of the field behind square leg.\n\nThis tactic caused several injuries to Australian players and led to ill feeling between the two national teams. The controversy eventually spilled into the diplomatic arena. Over the next two decades, several laws of cricket were changed to prevent this kind of tactic being used again.

Few have already given u links to sites with rules. So I'll mainly go through the 'cool' aspects of the game-- how it enhances your cricket watching experience. you can always get rules by doing a search\n\n1) You can get back from office or school & still have an entire action-packed game. It’s just like going for a movie or a football game\n2) Game watching experience in TV--the game is not just a reduced cricket match-but an entirely new commercial package!!\n\n*Sky sports, the official broadcasters of the game, has introduced the idea 'man on mic' .so you can actually hear from a player, when the match is in progress. So commentators can actually talk with a fielder just as he takes a catch & so on. Isn’t that cool-you get to hear all the strategies being worked out, captains justifying sudden change in field placements....\n\n*Helmet cam  -you can actually watch the ball from a batsman's perspective, with a camera attached to the helmet\n\n3)'Bowl Out'-It brings all the excitement of a penalty shoot out into the game of cricket! It comes into play when a match gets tied. Players from both the sides are made to bowl at stumps without batsmen in front!! (Its a rare occurrence though-I Think it just happened twice in history. once in international level & once in semifinals of the English twenty-20 cup-but it sure is great fun)\n\n4) Free hit -In normal cricket batsman can't take advantage of a no-ball as in most cases the call is made after the bowl is played. In twenty-20 the ball after a no-ball is a free hit. Batsmen can get prepared to slog the ball-& the crowd starts to roar just as the bowl is about to be bowled & when he misses it .......the roar ends as a low echo-\n\n5) You can see some good improvisation when batsmen just try to invent new shorts for quick scoring! & some good balling at the dead-mixing of yorkers ,slower balls...& plenty of action. Its entertainment guaranteed.

I've already answered a similar question before. I'll 'copy' & 'paste' that one.\n\nPlayers are rated on a scale of 0 to 1000 points. If a player’s performance is improving on his past record, his points increase; if his performance is declining his points will go down. \n\n****There is no human intervention in this calculation process, and no subjective assessment is made of the quality of the pitch or of the players. \n\n**** There is a common misconception that there is an expert panel that sits down to assess the pitch in each match. In fact, all the Ratings calculations are based purely on the information in the scorecard\n\nTEST RANKINGS\n\nBATSMEN\n*runs scored \n*ratings of the opposing bowling attack; the higher the combined ratings of the attack, the more value is given to the batsman’s innings (in proportion\n*the level of run-scoring in the match, and the team’s innings total\n*out or not out (a not out innings receives a bonus) \n*the result. Batsmen who score highly in victories receive a bonus-value of opposition counts\n\nfor BOWLERS\n*wickets taken and runs conceded; \n*ratings of the batsmen dismissed \n*the level of run-scoring in the match\n*the result\n\n*Players who miss a Test match for their country, for whatever reason, lose 1% of their points.\n\n*New players start at zero points, and need to establish themselves before they get full ratings. There is a scale for calculating qualifications ( see the link for details)\n\n*ONE DAY RANKINGS\n*The principles behind the ODI Ratings are similar to those for the Test Ratings, \n*Batsmen gain significant credit for rapid scoring. \n*bowlers gain significant credit for economy. \n*Players lose only ½ % of their points for missing a match for their country\n*All ODI matches are considered equal, except for ICC Cricket World Cup matches, where good performances gain extra credit\n\n*Big scores or wicket hauls against very weak nations get much less credit than the same performances against the main ODI countries.

Twenty20 cricket was introduced by the England and Wales Cricket Board in 2003. It is a form of one-day cricket in which each team bats for a maximum of only 20 overs, contrasting with 50 overs for a standard one-day match.\n\nMajor changes from the laws of cricket include:\nShould a bowler deliver a no ball by overstepping the popping crease, his next delivery is designated a free-hit, from which the batsman can only be dismissed through a run out, as is the case for the original "no ball". \nBowlers may bowl a maximum of only 4 overs per innings, as is standard for 20-over cricket. \nUmpires may award 5-run penalty runs at their discretion if they believe either team is wasting time. \nIf the fielding team do not complete bowling their 20 overs within 75 minutes, the batting side is credited an extra 6 runs for every whole over bowled after the 75 minute mark. \nThe following fielding restrictions apply: \nNo more than 5 fielders can be on the leg side at any time. \nDuring the first 6 overs, a maximum of 2 fielders can be outside the fielding circle. \nAfter the first 6 overs, a maximum of 5 fielders can be outside the fielding circle. \nIf the match ends with the scores tied, the tie is broken with a bowl-out (similar to a penalty shootout in football), with 5 bowlers from each side delivering 2 balls each at an unguarded wicket. If the number of wickets is equal after the first 10 balls per side, the bowling continues and is decided by sudden death.
