Hello All, my first post here....I have lurked around this site for a long time and have valued the discussions and reviews of cricket games. I am officially delurking! I live in New Zealand and follow passionately the England team. A real roller-coaster ride as we know. I'll often stay up during the night to follow Englands matches around the world. It was a great joy to see them live in action in New Zealand last year. What I would like to know is why West Indies were given 9 overs to get 80 runs (which I kind of understand) but were allowed to keep all 10 wickets. Surely it would have been fairer to halve the wickets if the overs had been halved. It gives the batting side such a huge advantage knowing they can go out there and just clobber with 10 wickets still in the bag. Seems very infair to me. And no I am not just a whining pom. I would like to hear other peoples opinions on this and my apologies if this is the wrong forum or way to do it or this question has already been beaten to death somewhere else!
