What a waste. Went from home at 11pm to watch the cricket match between India and Australia. Slept from 11 to about 1.25am and realized at that time that there was rain and the match was going to be delayed.

Snoozed the alarm and woke up again at 2.30am and realized that they had not started yet. So I took off and came back home because I had an early meeting, so I did not want to go there with swollen eyes :-)

When I was about to leave at about 7.30am I checked and realized that the match did start! It was a 32 over match and Australia was batting first.

After my meeting was over I checked scores again and saw that the match was abandoned! And there is no reserve day in this tournament. So for all practical purposes, India is out. The only way India can come through is if Pakistan beats Australia by a bigger margin than they beat India. Wonder if the first portion is realistic in the first place. In fact, the way they have played, I don’t even want the Indians to come to the finals. It would be useless.

Hopefully they will plan better for the future games.
