The 5 stages of Rain Delay denial

[Luis Anaconda]

1. Denial - you believe the rain will stop any minute and play will start.

2. Anger - you swear and tweet about English weather.

3. Bargaining - you msg cricinfo for a weather update and ask about rules for making up lost overs.

4. Depression - you hate the world because cricket was meant to be your highlight today.

5. Acceptance - you stop refreshing cricinfo every 2 mins, and go do some mundane non-cricket related task.
