Gavaskar slams ICC over VJD system snub

Batting legend Sunil Gavaskar has hit out at the International Cricket Council (ICC) for retaining the Duckworth-Lewis rule for rain-affected games despite an alternative suggested by an Indian engineer.
The game's world governing body on Friday said it would stick with the rule devised by Englishmen Frank Duckworth and Tony Lewis, as it did not feel that any improvements could be offered in the method put forward by V Jayadevan.
Gavaskar, writing in his column for the Times of India newspaper on Sunday, said the ICC should have at least given a trial to Jayadevan's system of calculating revised targets in limited-over matches.
