Baking Until I Drop

Will post later.
It’s late and have some stuff to do.

I’m very upset with the people in charge.
It was ridiculous.

And people at the oval had no clue what was going on.

hmph

See last post.

What is going on???

Sri Lanka was offered the light.
The batsmen took it.
Australia celebrated the win. The oval celebrated the win.
The umpires said the match isn’t done. There are three more overs and it can be played tomorrow.

Argh!
Is there no organization?
No rules???

I think they’re coming back out to play the three overs instead of coming out tomorrow.

It’s ludicrous.
Crazy.
There should be investigation or something!
It’s crazy.

I would understand if Sri Lanka conceded. I wouldn’t look down on them. Has anybody ever conceded a one-day? I know they’ve done it in test and first-class.
It’s not just a bad taste in the winners but also the spectators.

GAH!

What’s going on?
I don’t know.

Something just seems so wrong with using Duckworth Lewis for a final.
Especially when it’s already reduced overs.

*argh*

So, are they batting it out or not?
I’m confused.
Are they trying to make the 282?
/me bites nails
/me is anxious

Does anybody know what target Sri Lanka is chasing??
How many overs are being lost?
This is a final. Can’t they work out these things?

Duckworth Lewis is some method they use to calculate new totals when something (usually rain or light) interrupts the play and a team has less overs to bat. So, Sri Lanka lost two overs in the rain and I think the target has now been reduced from 282 to 269. I’m not sure how Duckworth Lewis is calculated. I guess I should find out?

Sri Lanka just hit a six and I see Chennette on tv!
Real close to the ball in the stands.

*sob*

Wooohooo.
I hope she carries flags and supports the appropriate team.

Maybe she will report for us.
We’ll be watching it at home, live, on tv.
