Organisers of the World Twenty 20 final scheduled it for a South African Bank Holiday Monday. Genius. Well done. That's guaranteed that the only people who will be able to watch it live are in time zones about 6 hours ahead or who are prepared to get out of bed in the middle of the night. Additionally there are bank or religious holidays in Cambodia, Dominican Republic, Guinea-Bissau, Japan, New Caledonia, South Korea, Taiwan and Trinidad. So that's good for them then. All those cricket fans in Cambodia... Yesterday, a Sunday, had no play. Please.
So today anyone who is not the unwaged, pulling a sickie, students and anyone prepared to lig off for the afternoon is struggling. The best we can hope for is a furtive earpiece and the dulcet whine of Graham Gooch. Well - its only hit and giggle after all...
