And that they were astonished at the Indian decision. The Indian manager says that his batsmen appealed against the light but had to continue because there is nothing in the playing conditions that mentions such a possibility. The umpires claim that the Indian batsmen played on because they were unsure of the run rate. The Indian manager says that the batsmen were informed about the equation. And I can vouch for that because I gave them the necessary numbers.
Nobody is willing to put a finger on that.
What is known, however, is that nobody was quite aware of the rules. The discussion was on what to do since there was no provision in the playing conditions for bad light. Everyone dithered and the game, surprisingly, dragged on. It transpires now that had the game been called off due to bad light, the scores at the end of the 40th over would have been considered. And the Indians were ahead there.
