a very good analogy there Tusaro about the error margin of 3 wickets being too 'easy-to-predict' during the prediction...as the game progressed, i too felt the same...but then it was too late to change it the other side of it being, had it been like only 1 wicket margin to get the margin point (MP), it would have been really tough to get both the MP and Bonus point (BP), as the players qualify for BP only when they get MP...so, to make all the players 'feel better' of seeing their score boards moving..i think it fulfill its purpose ! +/- 2 wickets would have been the ideal error margin ! otherwise, seems like the semi-final heat from caribbean can be felt here too...enjoy it guys ....this one can be felt only once in four years !!!
