I always feel a bit sorry for the side on the wrong end of a contrived D/L run chase. No matter what the result, it always feels a little unsatisfactory. Once Philippe took a punt and spanked the bowler for 4 fours and a six in the second over, the game was pretty much up for the side that didn't know, when they were rebuilding their innings, that it was going to rain at half time. When a third of the overs are lost for the reply it gives the chasing side carte blanche to throw the bat at everything. They still have to do it, of course, but it always feels to me as though the cards are stacked in their favour
