Angry Collingwood calls for change to rain rules

China Daily | Updated: 2010-05-05 08:19

PROVIDENCE, Guyana - Frustrated England captain Paul Collingwood demanded change to the way rain-affected games are decided after his team lost to the West Indies in their shortened Twenty20 World Cup game on Monday.

England batted superbly for a score of 191 for five from their 20 overs but a rain delay meant the West Indies won by scoring just 60 for two from 5.5 overs.

"It is very, very frustrating," Collingwood said. "Ninety-five percent of the time you are going to win with a score of 191 but the Duckworth-Lewis method somehow changed that," he said.
