Agreed Dave about turgid draws....but it is fixing,both captains coming together and fixing a finish for a team to win when really the result should be a draw!
Like Vidic and Gerrard saying after 80 mins and the score 0-0......well chaps a point a piece is no fucking good....lets shake hands and conjure up a winning result....lets play rush goalie
Mickey Mouse rules only brought in when TV starting paying the bills.
I'm not here to insult but are you missing the point being made? It's not football where the difference between a win and a loss is 3 points, but cricket where the difference is up to 20 points.
It's not like the two captains decide on a winner, it's that they decide that it would be better for the game if a positive result was achieved rather than 2/3 bad days of weather deciding that each team only get 4 points each, even though each would get more if a full game was played.
On the 3rd ODI front i think the bloke in the crowd with the "let paki's win for a change pleese*" sign fixed it. and made the sign to be ironic.
