rules are rules....common sense no place in sport..

Exactly Sparra. They fcked it up.

not farcical, have to follow the rules of the game
|

if you go off here the ICC will be a laughing stock. One of the best finishes off all time ruined. There will be a riot here

BUT OH HOW THEY ARE SUCH BAD LOSERS ha ha!!!

Rules are rules... This was pretty simple maths really, it wasn't even close. Light was always going to be a factor.... 4 overs to go. Still dark. I wish I had a bigger bankroll to have layed england with.... Well done winners.

I would have thought you expert traders would know such an elementary law of the game. |

Have to say, it suits me!

I knew this would happen

I took 11/8 on 365 about an hour ago. Light was never in doubt.

cricket is going to lose plenty of neutral fans with rules like this
|

By:
Farce from start to finish.
|

By:
will teach me a lesson though not to lay against what seems to be an impossible bet
|

By:
this is why i stopped watching cricket, im a casual sports fan, come back to the game today after seeing a potentially exciting finish and this farce happens.
Cricket needs all the casual fans it can get, this KILLS them |

By:
Both teams do everything to get a result and umps call it off with 20 balls left - **** off test cricket
|
|
By:
Shame those in charge forget cricket is in the entertainment business.
The crowd/tv audiences plenty of other things people can go watch. 4 overs left and lights on, carnt be that bad. Shame was a great 5th day. |

laid 5k at 200/1 this morning
|

By:
Glad.
England, live by the sword, die by the sword. Can't complain really. (Though the laws do need tweaking) |

overnight draw backers have had an interesting time getting their 1%

By:
bloody right....never again, i can breath again now
|
|
By:
Terrible for the sport imo. Was in favour of england at OT and in favour of Oz here. The loser is the game with all the fans treated as an afterthought.
|
|
By:
I don't mind 'em going off, it's the same for both sides.
Umpires done the right thing according to the laws, needs revising though so that they play on if there are lights. |
|
By:
If you know how light deteriorates at this time a year...you knew
 those last 5 overs were going to take half hour the way they were bowling. NO CHANCE!! |
|
By:
should be something where there is an agreement whether both teams want to get off
|
|
By:
the laws are a joke. not pocket talking, didnt make any difference to me, but really that is pathetic.
|
|
By:
ended up making a paltry 50 quid against a possible and at times probable 5k loss

Beefy is going to be apoplectic

20 balls left - ****g joke

The day you have a 5.5k result coming heath, I am sure you would laugh off 50 bucks just to protect it. I insure my car too. Strange that.
