Use in National and International Cricket
On December 13, 2010, It was reported that the BCCI had decided that Jayadevan's system will be formally used in the fourth edition of Indian Premier League but it wasn't. The Duckworth-Lewis system was used in the third season and the fourth season of the league.
The ICC still uses the Duckworth Lewis method in all international matches. The Jayadevan system has been put before the ICC in the past, but the decision was made to retain the Duckworth-Lewis method. The ICC will address the issue again at its next meeting in Dubai.
Generally speaking, nobody has been able to successfully argue that either the Duckworth-Lewis Method or the Jayadevan System is significantly superior to the other, with most assessments concluding that their performance is reasonably similar.
Jayadevan is a civil engineer from Thrissur, Kerala.

Famous quotes containing the words national and/or cricket:
“Thinking is the most unhealthy thing in the world, and people die of it just as they die of any other disease. Fortunately, in England at any rate, thought is not catching. Our splendid physique as a people is entirely due to our national stupidity.”
—Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)
“All cries are thin and terse;
The field has droned the summer’s final mass;
A cricket like a dwindled hearse
Crawls from the dry grass.”
—Richard Wilbur (b. 1921)
