This world cup final has clearly shown the incompetence of ICC officials as well as incompetent rules. A final of an event which runs for more than a month ends up with some nonsense rule called as D/L method. I have never seen this happening in any other sport like in cricket; OK play 38 overs if not 50, OK even if that is not possible, play 36, OK does not matter, even if 36 is not possible lets decide only on 20 overs play. This compromising way of rules throws a question about the game plan of team chasing in these conditions. Should they start throwing wicket as soon as chase begins and if weather remains fine, than look stupid in the end and proove rival captain smart. A little bit of luck looks good like at the toss but entirelz depending on luck shows that the game is still played in 15th century. Agreed weather plays an important part in this game but rules should be clear; wether match will be complete or a draw. Let both team share the impact of weather!!!!!!!!
