Yeah, really frustrating, especially as a Watson fan. Who knows when he'll get to play a decent length innings again.

Rain yay! Best place Sydney.

Can't remember it ever happening. It could have in '83/84, when the second final was tied (coincidentally or perhaps ominously, I think Channel Nine are showing a replay of that match at this very moment), but the West Indians won the third anyway and took it 2-0.

That is true.And thats only if Australia win the 3rd final

Haha yeah, the specialist death bowler got caned at the death.
However I remember how Indian supporters were absolutely sprayed when they were upset about how D/L worked for Australian and made posts about it.
Fact is, I didn't like D/L back then, don't like it now. Whoever it helps/favours in this match will obviously be happy, and whoever it screws will be unhappy, but I doubt they'll cop as much criticism if they make some posts about it.

If you define Irish as "born & raised in the emerald isle" then I'd say he's got a fair shout. IIRC the last Irish-born player of any note was McCague, but he's really only Irish (& Northern Irish at that) in the same way that Symonds is English. Joyce has arguably made more of an impact than Waltzing Mart-ilda (as one headline writer once called him) anyway.
Aside from him the former England captain Frederick Fane is probably the best of a bad bunch.

I think we should ban people from whining about D/L unless they can think of a better idea. Shall we go back to WC 92 rain rules? They were great...

I'm not a big critic of Duckworth/Lewis in it's current incarnation. Does close to the best it can do given the premise that 20 overs per side must constitute a full game, IMO.

Was getting a bit interesting that, had a tiny glimmer of hope there with Hogg and Lee still to come. If we go back now though we'll lose; someone's bound to get out after the break, and the revised target's going to be something like 400 off 8 overs.
Edit: No problem with DL, mind you, clearly best method out there

20-odd off the last ball, you aiming to spite Hingston?

Meh. Not sure if I want it to stop raining now or not. We'd probably lose another 10 overs and end up needing 9 an over to win.

DL wouldn't be such a problem if they were 2 or 3 down. Only themselves to blame.
I am disappointed the game has been disrupted again, it was looking interesting to see how Watson and Hodge would go. Now its lose-lose for Australia - if they come out again it will probably be beyond them to meet the rate required, so they can play for runs for their spot, and lose, or go for it, get out and lose.
At least it's good for the farmers...

Was hoping that might have gotten interesting with Watson and Hodge. Now I guess it'll be a target they'll never get or complete washout. Not that I'll be complaining.
