Basically this. The ball is cork wrapped in leather, when it gets wet and they start hitting it with a bat it disintegrates really quickly. It also causes the wicket to turn to mud which makes bowling correctly impossible, and a wet outfield stops the ball from running onto the boundaries. |

A cricket field has several wickets on it, they are usually in different states of readyness so they need to have a certain amount of grass in order to have them, I suppose the difficulty then would be having a grass area surrounded by astroturf. They'd probably just argue it's not traditional and therefore 'Just not cricket'

Its' also because of the danger to both bowlers and batsmen, risk of injury. And because it would make an uneven match if one innings was dry and the other was wet. |

Is the right answer. Seriously though what kind of sport can you play for about a week and it end in a draw? And who's this Duckworth-Lewis carrot as well? Heavy worst sport

What difference does it make how long something lasts whether a draw is a satisfactory result? A football match lasts 90 minutes, is that short enough that a draw is acceptable? Frank Duckworth and Tony Lewis. Two carrots. They devised a mathematical formula for setting a target score in an interrupted match which needs to have the number of overs reduced. They weren't cricketers themselves but mathematicians. Here's the history and creation section of the Duckworth-Lewis Wikipedia page.
Using the score achieved by the first team as a starting point, the idea is the runs required, overs remaining and number of wickets in hand all are taken into account to all a fair target score to be set. The idea is that combined resources of balls remaining and wickets in hand give a good indication of what a team might score. When a match is stopped the two teams resource percentages are calculated and a target score can be set. ![]() It doesn't keep everyone happy as there are some who say it places too much importance on wickets but it's now generally accepted that it's the best way to sort things out if the game is cut short. |
