I know it is a shame when cricket matches get rained away, but only if your team was in a winning position! I am not too sad the match was disrupted by rain today - after what happened yesterday with Messrs. Afridi and Akmal playing out worst-case scenario for our hapless bowlers. It is easy to blame the bowlers for this disaster, but the pitch and the Pakistani batsmen have to share the blame as well:-) Pakistan did what they could to set up the match - but with the weather predictions as it was, the match was always headed towards a draw even before today's curtailment. The rain obviously made things easier for India, but really, on a pitch like this, India could have easily scored enough in the first innings to make this a very dull draw in any case. With more rain forecast over the next two days, 0-0 is where this stands. Such poor pitches and scheduling perhaps does not deserve any better.
