That is ... extraordinary.

Truly glorious hackery by Barbados, but the poor Grenadians were seriously robbed.

I thought it was wonderful. I have to agree that Grenada were robbed. Robbed I tell you! :)

I think the lesson here is that sports bodies need to have some good German game designers on their rules committees.

Someone like Klaus Teuber perhaps? Could be a whole new line of business for him. :)
