Charlie Austin16-Jan-2000South Africa’s final group game was abandoned at 1.30pm in extraordinarycircumstances. Heavy rains meant that the outfield was unfit for play.This leaves South Africa on three points. However in an interview withCRICINFO the South African manager revealed that they are not resigned toa place in the Plate League. They have contacted the ICC and BCCSL toclarify whether they have a zero run rate.It had been previously believed that South Africans could not have a net runrate at all due to the use of Duckworth Lewis method in their match againstNepal. If you don’t have a net run rate then you can surely not have a zeronet run rate.It appears that this new interpretation of the rule, has been accepted bysomeone in authority. The Kenyan cricket team has been informed that theyhave to score the 107 in a stipulated number of overs to have a positive NetRun Rate.The situation is bound to lead to controversy. If the Kenyans lose theirmatch against Nepal the sudden change in the tournament rules will haveplayed a part. The Kenyans have lost quick wickets by trying t score the runsin the stipulated time period and are presently 60-5 off 11 overs.Whatever the outcome the situation the confusion is unacceptable in aninternational tournament.Latest: Nepal beat Kenya by 14 runs, thus relegating both SouthAfrica and Kenya to the Plate competition, and qualifyingthemselves. Given the circumstances of the win, with Kenyachasing what appears to be a net run rate target set underdubious circumstances, both African countries will be extremelyunhappy at the turn of events.
