New Delhi, Jun 25 (IANS): Frank Duckworth, one of the pioneering minds behind the Duckworth-Lewis-Stern method, passed away at the age of 84. Duckworth’s contribution to the game has left an indelible mark, revolutionizing how rain-affected matches are determined.
Their breakthrough was recognised not just within cricketing circles but also by the wider community. In June 2010, both Duckworth and Lewis were awarded the Member of the Order of the British Empire (MBE) for their services to cricket and mathematics, a testament to the significant impact of their work.
