Benson is the guy who gave someone out caught behind , and then called him back after he was halfway across the ground. So what do you expect from such a reject Umpire, who probably didn't want to officiate in such cold conditons? He's still getting payed, so might aswell go home right?
Hate people like him.

I think the next is the tri-series between Kenya, Bangla, and Windies. We will finally feel what its like to own again.Plasma said:

Some people just shock me. I can't believe people are blaming Benson, he is just doing his job. I have seen many umpires call off games with patchy outfields because you run a high risk of getting injured (and an even higher one with Shoaib!).

Everything could have been sorted in an hour or so. But some people are lazy, and really cant be bothered like Benson.

You guys are acting like kids.
Why should the players risk injury just so we can enjoy a solitary game of cricket, all be it, a charity game on top of that. I'm sure they wanted play as much as we did but it's obvious it wasn't going to work out. Why would they cancel it even if there was a small chance of play taking place?
Relax. I'd rather they not play then they play and injuries occuring, due to the series we have coming up, particularly @ home.
I had tickets for today through the ballot, but I didn't buy them due to potental weather problems. I feel entirely vindicated...

Yeah they are so stupppid! Why'd they call it off sooo early even if there was no possibility of play today!? Damnit, they should've made us wait another 5 hours before calling it offf.

Feel sorry for those 5000 fans that travelled to the ground, they mentioned one guy coming from Karachi, did he not check the weather forecast before he flew so many thousands of miles for a rained out match..

But readin thru this thread just now makes me laugh!
glad i didnt enter the ballot
glad i didnt buy any tickets
glad i didnt travel hundreds of miles to glasgow
glad i didnt order zee channels
glad i didnt book a day off work
glad the umpires didnt let the game go ahead if the ground is wet and the players could be injured
glad i am a part of pakpassion
glad it's almost time to go home
sad for the team cos they didnt get to play
sad for all the people who went to glasgow and saw nothing
sad for evry1 who had their hearts broken 2day
oh well...just another day of drama for Pakistan Cricket!!!

So Baadshah is glaad and saad!
I'm happy we didn't even start a match on this absurd tour. 2 meaningless Odi's in a meaningless venue got exactly what it deserved. Hopefully the Pcb will learn not to allot pointless 1-days in the middle of nowhere. Purely a money-making gimmick and it got what it deserved. Now get back on the plane and come home. Apart from a joke of a 20-20 WC we finally have some serious stuff to look forward to: Test match cricket!
