Will weather conditions play a part within the game and is the Duckworth Lewis method implemented?
Weather conditions play a big part in the game: over the course of a match they influence so many factors exactly as you would expect in real life. Humidity can affect swing and drift, hot weather will dry out the pitch to speed up the breaking up of a wicket for spinners (right down to bowler's footmarks on the wicket to bowl into!) Every effort has been made to make sure that all factors have been faithfully imported from real life into this game.
As far as rain delays go, although weather conditions affect the outcome of CPU v CPU matches, and the D/L method comes into play, we felt that it would be frustrating for the user to have their games interrupted by rain. Although it was implemented in early versions of the code, people were banging their heads against the wall: there's nothing worse than being on the verge of a massive landmark batting score or a World Cup victory and the heavens opening! Of course, in real cricket this is just part of the game, but given the option of making life 'fairer' to the player, we have taken the liberty of gifting them good weather!
