World Cup Final
What a farce of a final!!!
Between the miscommunication on the Duckworth Lewis amended run chase after a break of two overs due to rain, and then the darkness rising and Sri Lanka taking the decision with an ungettable score requirement off two overs to accept the end of play in poor light, to Australia celebrating to the umpires saying the game wasn't over, to the Sri Lankans coming *back* on to the ground and the commentators *unable to see who is playing on the pitch*, it's just been a silly, silly match. Australia may have won the match but I think cricket itsef has been the biggest loser today.

Yes indeed. It overshadowed the glory of Australia's win, and the farewell to Glenn McGrath, who will be sorely missed. I am - however - relieved we managed to play the final this side of Christmas - at one stage this appeared unlikely.
