This is a right royal farce. No-one's officially announced that the
match is over, but seeing as the boundary rope is being packed up as we
speak, I think the few remaining spectators might as well give up hope
now.
1929: That's that then, the most anti-climactic game of cricket
since, erm, last year's World Cup final. Thanks for the chat though, it
was a lot of fun as usual.

"What a joke this is! Sometimes I wonder what actually goes on in the
authorities' heads... what cake they are going to have perhaps during
the HALF HOUR tea break! So much for Law 23... common sense! For God's
sake! Cricket officials get your act together. Grrr!" Harry, Worcestershire, in the TMS inbox
"This shambolic end to the game could have and should have been
avoided, if the break between innings had only been 10 minutes, instead
of the 30 minutes. This farce does the wonderful game of cricket no
favours in any way." Mark in the TMS inbox

7.30pm And there it is. It's all over, red rover. What a
shambles. New Zealand robbed on a technicality, thanks largely to the
half-hour lunch break that ate up 30 minutes of the best weather we've
had all day.

Thank you showme for staying with me in this thread and doing what you do. I appreciate it and will be happy with the null.
I am sure as the rest of the usual suspects on this board wake up and see this thread, they will be barging over in laughter at the ridiculousness of it all.
HAHAHA!!!
I haven't felt this good even when I won a big bet!!! A null has never felt like winning big!!! Hahaha!

"In the end it was just the rain, it was getting ridiculous. We had to
be consistent," says the umpire, Steve Davis. "We've got two teams out
there struggling to stand in slippery conditions." He adds that the
fact that the result was so close should not be a factor in the
umpiring decision. "Common-sense is okay when the playing conditions
don't cover it."
GIVE THAT MAN A RAISE!!!!!

Awesome commentary HOH, read your thread as soon as I woke and it had me nervous throughout, what a lucky escape - this is going to be a great day!!!!
Thanks buddy! It was sure one hell of a thrill ride! One that once you get on, you can't get off!!!!!!!!!!! Crazy!
Actually, I felt so lucky, so fortunate, after that debacle that I threw 3 units on the Detroit Tigers 1st 5 Innings (waaaaaaaay too much for a baseball bet), just because I was feeling lucky, and it cashed with ease.
Wow.....I go from sweating out a much too large cricket moose bet to cashing in huge on some baseball play I would normally never bet.
