For the past little while, we've been pondering how to scale up incomplete innings. We reckon that the fairest way to resolve short fourth innings is to take the maximum of the flat rate and scaled rate proposed in the original article. A side ending on 15/1 after four overs will increase by the flat rate to 294; an established innings of 400/7 will use the scaled rate, and progress to 574.
