Re: Cricket

Yes, there's usually an element of luck in sporting events like these and there are so many variables which can affect a result in cricket. From what I saw of the highlights, so there were so many chances and near misses yesterday that, if taken, would have ended the game that much earlier.

Having said that, the technology they now use (e.g. the snickometer, hot spot camera, hawkeye) goes a long way to eradicating the sort of bad decisions (sometimes very difficult & sometimes just plain awful) which used to cost matches and indeed, series. In this respect at least, the old farts at the ICC really do put their FIFA counterparts to shame.
