Earth Hour – well, Earth Half-Hour – hits the Indian Premier League.

The pitch was apparently prepared on a post-greenhouse apocalypse bare earth and dust model. Hence some low scores.

Did Roebuck get a nod to commentate on this circus? I don’t think I’ve heard him so far, and would be embarrassed if I missed his chirpy self.

I bet the terrible pitch was part of some bribe paid to influence the result. This is a perfect league for the betting moguls to control. Can’t imagine that it is just incompetence as it was soooo bad.
The sine qua non of ‘a good game’ of 20/20 is an even pitch in favour of the batters.
That’s elementary PR.
Of course, we have all conveniently forgotten that India is rthe capital of cricket betting corruption.
