Power of One... (weep, weep)

Just saw the results of the ICC World Cricket League Div 5 tournament in Nepal.

It is Heart-Breakville for Singapore.

With the top two countries qualifying for the next division, Singapore missed the berth by the proverbial 'coat of paint'.

USA, Nepal and Singapore ended up with eight points each and the NRR (Net Run Rate for the uninitiated) looks as follows:

USA: +1.371

Nepal: +1.351 (actually 1.3505)

Singapore: +1.347 (actually 1.3472)

That is a total difference of less than 0.004 - in fact 0.00333 :-((((

AAARRRGGGHHHH!

To put it in perspective...

If Singapore had:

scored one run more at any stage in the tournament OR

scored their runs consuming one less ball OR

given one less run to their opponents...

they would have been through!!!

Maan, my heart goes to Munish and the boys...

I don't know what to say to console them other than F*** it, guys!

Definitely, Nepal should be penalised for the unruly crowd behaviour in their final match against USA.

ICC, are you listening?

Probably this is how South Africans felt after their one run loss at Jaipur?

Hmmmm...
