Australia-UAE game
I'm removing the bit about the Australia - UAE game added by 144.131.7.245 because: a) there is no record of this game in the Cricinfo match archive and b) Most (all?) of the 1992 season was pre-D/L and I assume from the example given (if that game did indeed take place) that the match actually represents a good example of the problems with pre-D/L methods of target calculation. I'm also removing the 'criticism' which mentions radio commentators as there are no sources.âThe preceding

Requested move 21 January 2019
The following is a closed discussion of a
requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a
move review after discussing it on the closer's talk page. No further edits should be made to this section.
DuckworthâLewis method â
DuckworthâLewisâStern method â I believe that most major news sources now refer to either DLS or DuckworthâLewisâStern in their reporting / commentary of cricket (though a couple still use D/L in the statement of result on scorecard), so DLS is now the
WP:COMMONNAME as well as the
WP:OFFICIALNAME.
Picking 2 recent matches to involve the use of the process (in an attempt to give extra weight to recent usage)Â :
Sri Lanka v England in October 2018
The following all use DLS and/or Duckworth-Lewis-Stern
I've tried to include the first set of reliable sources I found on a google news search for these matches, and it does seem that almost all sources use DLS in their prose reporting, though there is still some use of DL on scorecards. As a side-note, I asked for an admin move of these pages to do exactly the above to be reversed, as this is a controversial move due to the previous discussion .

Rain stopped play, England require 65 runs from 2 overs, er, I mean Support, per all of the above and the ICC
formally adopted the term on 9th Jan 2017. Note this date isn't on the article, but if you search for the word "duckworth" via the search bar on the ICC site, this is the most recent result. LugnutsFire Walk with Me18:06, 21 January 2019 (UTC)reply
Weak support - Colloquially it's still referred to as DuckworthâLewis, so that might seem to be the appropriate title for the article per
WP:COMMONNAME, but it is now properly known as DuckworthâLewisâStern. â
