from the BBC website:
"20th over - 127-2 The umpires are having a chat - is this fit for
international cricket? And the players are going off! Remarkable! New
Zealand would have only needed seven from that over to win it! NO
RESULT! ALL THAT FANNYING ABOUT FOR NOTHING! A HALF HOUR BREAK BETWEEN
INNINGS! WHAT ...
