I do not undersand how Bailey’s Bay retained the cup in this match or the Flatts. Cleveland and Flatts each scored more runs than Bailey’s Bay, so how could they win. This seems a setup to me in that Bailey’s Bay will always retain the cup, therfore, why play?
Read the rules ..or pray…whatever makes more sense to you…Geesh!
It’s not a 50 over match. More of a one day test match like cup match is a 2 day test match, meaning open cricket…..
