Not Just a Hole in Evan Davis's Knowledge...

On the BBC Today programme this morning, in the middle of a discussion about methematics and sport, the uber economics journalist and mathematical whizz Evan Davis revealed that he had never heard of the Duckworth-Lewis Method.

Gasps.  He quickly corrected his ignorance during the programme and by the end of the show he had apologised with some chagrin for not knowing of it.  He even cited the band named after the formula.

But it got me wondering...

So I wen to Wolfram Alpha and tried an enquiry there.  They (/it?) have never heard of it either.

This is all very poor...
