It's all over - Fat Ref's leaving the (Caribbean) building

It's 6pm on Sunday evening and I'm sitting in the departure lounge at Bridgetown Airport. My BA flight back home has been delayed for three hours, apparently so that the Sri Lankan team can be squeezed on on their way home and I've just watched a Virgin flight for Gatwick take off. Oh well.
It's still difficult to digest the events of Saturday evening and to think that the five most qualified match officials made such a basic error of forgetting that there is a result in a one day international if both teams play 20 overs. In footballing terms, it's the equivalent of all the match officials forgetting about extra time in the World Cup final and ordering a replay.
FatRef will (apart from trying to become not so FatRef) will now return to footballing matters.
