If you lose a wicket chasing a small target the target should go up, give teams something to think about instead of sending in clunkers to try and finish it. If the Windies had lost those two wickets last night, and they'd cost say 6 runs a piece, target 72 - different game.

They way I did it when we were playing T20 (for predicting scores) was double what they had after 12 then take off 10 for every wicket lost and that was usually pretty close so say each wicket bumped the required score by 10, again it's a totally different game.

I see Mr Duckworth is backing his system but questioning whether five overs per side is enough to constitute a valid match as it distorts the statistical validity.
