So the ICC just got away with it thanks to the rain which
got stopped at a right time . The rain relented, we had a final to remember,
and the fans went home happily. There
may even be some pats on administrators' backs. But it only told half the
story.
Yes, the rain stopped, yes, we
had a 20-over final to fight for, and yes, India, the best team in the
tournament, won and their supporters celebrated long into the night.
But the administrators should
not get away with it. By staging a final without a reserve day, they messed
with the fans and got lucky. They should never be allowed to do so again .They plays
with the sentiments of the people who love cricket by heart!!
Is it right to do so???
The official explanation is
that there were only 17 days to stage the tournament, that there was "no
wriggle room", and that bilateral tours take precedence. Are fans really
expected to take such an explanation seriously?
