Criiiiiinggggeeee

I can't claim to even have a partial understanding of the Duckworth Lewis method,but if I were a West Indian cricket coach I would hope to at least be able to use the converter sheet in order to interpret the score. However it seems that even this is too much for the spoiling, crowd shunning squad currently masquerading as a cricket team.

So intent was their manager John Dyson on coming off for bad light ,with the match in the balance, to secure a dead, unfulfilling win that he did so whilst getting the maths wrong, leaving England one run ahead. So they lost. As David Lloyd repeated more times than I care to remember "Just play the game!".

It is cricket at its worst and perpetuates its unfair portrayal as boring and without resolution around the world. England may be winners in name but the West Indians, those that paid for tickets into the ground, those sat watching expectantly at home and -most importantly- the game itself all lost heavily.
