Why would they hold it in a place known for its rain?

Looks like it's going to end England and australia's tournaments. Disappointing but funny none the less.

Quite ironic hey. At least it stopped raining when it had to. :)

The whole thing looks rigged - were SA were robbed ? by the stupid D/L system for rain shorten matches which gives the team batting second no chance of winning . Does anyone know how many teams have won batting second using that system ?
They wanted to make sure they sold some tickets by Australia making the final - hardly anyone there last night.

Good to see the English unable to make the rules to advantage them this time like the ODI WC. :lol:

Disappointing but that's the competition rules and all sides knew them going into it.

Its a stupid rule tbh, The organisers didn't allow for a catch up day if it washed out, unlike the mens ODI cup.
they have a spare day for the final, but not the semi's

He won't answer, pretty sure of that.

I also believe if he does then he can be shut down quite easily, he nornally is.

was the pitch doctored for the australian bowlers ?
the physical difference between Australia and India was intimidating like watching us compete against school girls

A funny comment early in the Indian Innings from the Indian Female commentator as the second wicket had fallen/ caught. The female commentator said the batsman had just hit the 2 4s but it would have been better if she had hit the shot she was out on along ground. :shock: :( :lol:

Failing to see the funny part.

Didn't india best them in the group?
SA was D/L, which certainly has flaws.

Yes, and Australia smashed them in the final (as opposed to being pipped once), so clearly the better team.

D/L has flaws, much like how a tied game can be awarded to a team over another - hmmm, when did that happen recently.....

It happened in the World Cup which England won, I'm not surprised you pretend to forget England winning the world cup.

So, it was 1-1. Hardly shows who the better team was.

As you have said, D/L is flawed.

MY point exactly.

Hypothetical. Team (a) wins 1-0 v team b. Plays same team soon after, loses 8-0. Who do you think might be the better team?

Are you saying a better team can only be chosen after looking at all games they have ever played together?
