SEVENTEEN answers! You guys just gave me a HUUUGE boost! And yes, folks! These are indeed Messrs Duckworth and Lewis, whose system we use to determine how many runs the team batting second has to score in a certain number of overs, and some such calculations, in order to win!

    You made it easy, but nice question though.
    Frank Duckworth and Tony Lewis. (Incidentally this Lewis is not the one who led MCC, although both are namesakes).
