Beaten By The Rain.....Again

There was a strange case of Deja Vu for the Irish Cricket Team in Colombo today as their T20 World Cup was brought to an end.  They posted a fairly competitive total of 129, against T20 heavyweights The West Indies, to give themselves a chance to progress to the next round. 

Any hopes of progression were dashed when the rain came and  stopped the game before The Windies had a chance to bat.  Ireland were knocked out on net run rate, a mere technicality really.

Rain rain go away

This hard luck story has a familiar ring to it as the same circumstances conspired against us at the last T20 World Cup.  England were the benefactors two years ago and took their chance with both hands going on to claim the cup.  If only the weather had stayed on our side.........sigh!!
