Inane End to an Inane Tournament

Sri Lanka dug themselves a bit of a whole in the field but fought back well early on. Australia did what it had to do. The lull (from Hair, Aktar, Woolmer cases) was too much to bear so courtesy of ICC we were provided with something new to talk about. How D/L is used in major tournaments and no results due to rain will get a thorough going over apart from what the tournament structure should be.
Sri Lanka held well until the 16th over (compared to where Australia was). Australia had scored massively in the 17th-22nd overs. Those were the overs where Sri Lanka needed to keep abreast so as not to fall far behind or to be in striking distance if D/L came into play.
