This is insane, preposterous, irritating, … well, the list goes on!

Link: Match 2: India Vs. West Indies DLF Cup

My hero, my idol, Sachin Tendulkar, the greatest batsman ever, a living legend … ok, I can just go on.. So, he’s back after 6 months with critics against his return to cricket and what does he do? Smashes the Windies all around the ground and they don’t even manage to get him out before the end of 50 overs. And what happens? West Indies have just played some 20 overs and then I dunno where the hell rain pours over and they win because of D/L method, aka Duckworth-Lewis method, aka The worst thing in my favourite sport.

Link: Duckworth-Lewis System

Ok, Mr. Frank Duckworth and Mr. Tony Lewis. Have you ever played, or wait, at least watched cricket? And I can’t believe ICC ever passed such a crappy system. Also, since when did we follow this system before the team batting second has completed at least 25 overs?

Windies, you were lucky today, really lucky. As for the Aussies, ha! You better watch out. I reckon the good bowlers take a break to protect their bowling stats. Sachin’s gonna hit back better. So will Sehwag!

Damn, this has really spoilt my mood to study today. I am just glad about one thing, Sachin’s back!
