Dud world cup already in my book with 1 game a week on free to air, teams playing only once a week and now the hosts and one of the major drawcards having a game abandoned without a ball bowled. Shifting the game to another state wouldn't have been impossible. People will have to have tickets refunded anyway, both teams would have had the same travel issue to deal with and agencies are well equipped to sell 50k tickets in a day or two.
Would love to see future world cups with more teams or have 2 games between teams in the pool stage. Or both. Just got to have teams playing their games closer together at this stage IMHO.
We can relocate a man to walk on the surface of the moon nearly 50 years ago but being proactive about the re-location of a cricket match to avoid abandonment during a World Cup is obviously beyond the realms of possibility
Exactly. Play it tomorrow. Simples.
