If it is to be reduced to less than 40 overs/innings,why not have it the next day?

It is only fair that the same ticket is valid for the next day too.

I too strongly feel that if the game cannot be played atleast for 40 overs each today, it should be played tomorrow as such a major event should not be truncated affair.

I agree with the sentiment expressed about the loss of fun for watching a truncated game, and that also the stature of the game to be the Final, which event was eagerly awaited by million of fans all over the world for so many sleepless nights/days.
Then again, see how people are getting tired by the longest of the ICC Cricket WC that has already taxed the patience of people! Did you hear what Malcolm Speed said about this lengthy event?
Bangladesh had to play for only 20 Overs due to the rain thing. What an injustice for a team that would need initial 10 overs to find the pitch and the ball (lol).
PS. The game as of this moment is AUS 224-2 after 30.2 overs where maximum 38 overs would be played.

No, I don't think it should be reduced like this to 38overs. We waited so long for this final, and it kills half the excitement when you have to wait 3 hours for the match to start, and only see a short game.
I'm sure that the people deciding have their reasons though. Plus the people that have bought tickets for the game, it makes their purchase worthwhile, and they don't need to be given refunds.
Although, another way to look at it....Australia have made 281 in 38 overs. If I was a Sri Lankan fan, I'd dread to think how many runs they would have made in a full 50 over match.

Those pig heads in ICC sitting on the higher ranks they don't give a heck to cricket fan's wishes. They just want to get it done as quickly as possible now. I think this is an anti climax of a world cup final game. People around the world waiting for the big game are immensely disappointed and we strongly protest against this. Just because of this revised match of 38 overs the beauty of cricket was gone and though Adam Gilchrist played a great knock I still feel he played it because he had no other option and it was his luck that he scored a hundred .

A good question buddy. I also felt it should have been played the next day. A 50 overs a side match would have given the teams equal opportunities to plan out their strategies and execute them. It would have also given the crowd enough action both with the bat and with the ball to watch and cheer about. But the organisers thought it otherwise. What a pity.

of course...... It seems fair to both the teams.... After all a FINAL match comes in every 4 years..... So insake of all the views all around the world........ it should have been postponed.......

i believe they might not have it the next day because the fans have paid good money to watch a good contest but are going home tomorrow however i agree it would be better if they played it tomorrow.
