ICC Red-Faced After WTC Final Falls Prey To Inclement Weather
The International Cricket Council (ICC) was left red-faced and under fire from former cricketers after the inaugural World Test Championship (WTC) final fell prey to inclement weather with two of the first four days getting washed out and the other two days not seeing full days' play due to disruptions from bad light.
With just two days left - including the reserve day on June 23 - a draw looks the best possibility for a result although a flurry of wickets could still see a result in either team's favour. The rules suggest both teams will be joint winners if the match ends in a draw or a tie. It is something that may not go down well with both teams.
