Anyway back to a better sport.. in T20 we should stop saying teams won by X wickets, but
talk about teams winning by X balls instead.
The balls left is a bigger indication of a margin of victory in limited overs, esp T20 if you ask me.
Alright if its 9 or 10 wickets maybe, but 4/5/6 rarely tells the story.
Saying 2, 10 or 30 balls left shows you much more clearly how close it was.
