It happens all the fucking time though regardless of the state of the game. Play the fucking overs, it's 6.35pm on a beautiful evening ffs.

That's a different argument though isn't it. Why is there a time cutoff in the fucking first place?
Not as if the last bus is 20 minutes after the scheduled end or they have to get the venue closed.

It does seem like people in cricket are very determined not to play cricket. A strange bunch.

The IPL final the other day finished at something near to 2am local time after it had gone in the reserve day, at least some organisations are keen to fucking play the game.
Was a cracking ending too, 10 needed off the final 2 balls and they won.

I believe people would watch cricket no matter what time of day it is as long as it was good light
