Game time - After 3 days of no play?

So they're playing the first SL test after 3 days of no activity cos of the rain. Let's guess the reasons why -

- Tendulkar can get his overrated 35th century in 2 days of batting practise. When else does he score anyway - certainly not at clutch situations. Now's the time - SRT! Then ToI and Rediff can go gaga with a 10 slide paranoma about the 'little master' or' Bradman's successor', and how Lara is the lesser of the two. Eww.

- Selfish Sourav can come bat his way back into the team. Now's the time again - ain't no 'gotta win' situation is there?

Or SL could win in two days (ya never know)... and crow will be served.

However winning a game these days isn't just about the better team, is it? It's about external conditions - weather, 'betsmen' etc. I mean, come on... we just witnessed a tied 1-day series between the top two result arranging teams in cricket.
