Go away

This cricket season has been unbelievably frustrating when it comes to interrupted tests. This is the third test out of eight that India have featured in that has been ruined by rain: Chennai; Lahore, and now Mohali. When you consider that keeping track of these interruptions means destruction of my circadian rhythms, the sense of despair mounts. Years and years ago, in the old rec.sport.cricket, in a burst of frustration, I suggested covered stadiums and artificial turf to guard against rain interruptions. I know, utterly impractical, and anathema to the spirit of cricket, but its indicative of the depths that I had plumbed at the time (and seem to be mucking around in right about now).
