So them still have the reduced over

[Islandman]

calculation nonsense in T20? What crap.

I don't understand why the people who make cricket rules insist on letting rain play such an important part in the game, even when it is not necessary.

is not like football yuh nuh...yuh evva try play cricket inna pouring rain? plus the shorter forms of the game REQUIRE a result so theya re doing everything possible to ensure that.

messrs duckworth and lewis are alleged to no be in the witness protection programme but i haven't been able to verify it yet!

[Islandman]

I understand why the game have to stop because of the pitch,etc , but I don't understand why in such a short form of the game them can't build enough time into the schedule to handle some loss of time to rain.

The D&L system eff up far too many good games! I want to see the WI go through but i want them to do it on the field.

Agree...why couldn't they have played 20 overs after the rain stopped falling? I'm not complaining in this case as NO TEAM should not score 80 runs in 9 overs with all wickets in hand.

However, from an objective and cricketing perspective, why couldn't they have played a full 20 after the rain stopped falling? I can understand in a 50/50 but in 20/20? just finish play when de rain dun...after a reasonable amount of time of course..

I agree. When the rain stoppe dplay in the England innings with 3 over sto go they should have called the innings and then allow more overs for the Windies...7 and 9 over game are a waste of time....imagine the FINAL being decided like that?

[Gamma]

to me it depends on whether windies win or lose

[Baddaz]

agree... to cut the game so short makes a mockery of cricket... de grounds have lights... play de game to its conclusion... baseball will play until 2 in the morning after a rain delay... cricket should too...

[Islandman]

I understand that in T20 them will reduce the overs to as low as 5! What sense that mek? Might as well toss a coin.

So far that is the only real problem I have found with this form of the game. I have enjoyed the tournament. It is not a yam-licking contest as some say it is. Shiv and Sarwan showed that yesterday too.

9 overs cricket to rhattid. Next ting yuh know we ago have T2 cricket. Foolishness.

[Willi]

Hehehehehe

Well, I personally think they should make it T25 and drop 1 day cricket like a bad habit!

Cricket shots will always win...thing is sm of the batsmen can't make criket shots..what can beat a cover drive or a very, very, very late cut a la Yagga Rowe or dare I say it.. Lara? This tryingto go over the keepers head and the MISSED reversed sweep...idiot ting dat!!! But then I am biased...since I was a classical batsman...in the true sense of the word....favourite shots, cover drive, off drive and flick of the pads for 4...of course with the ocasional hook for 6.

Twenty-20 sounds better!

I agree though. Drop the 50 over version and to hell with tests!

Stay away from cricket. Just stay away.
