Yeah I just saw that on the cricinfo scorecard page for that match : 'A Duckworth/Lewis calculation under the rules in 2006 would have first set South Africa a target of 273 in 45 overs, and then reduced this to 257 from 43 overs.' But obviously we dont know how SA would have batted if they'd known this target of 273 before their innings.
