http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Haroon-Lorgat-c61719 believes radioactive rains could affect the ICC World Cup 2011 Final
The Chief Executive Officer of the International Cricket Council (ICC), Haroon Lorgat, was apprehensive about the “radioactive rains” from the nuclear disaster in http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Mumbai-c820.
On 11th http://www.senore.com/Cricket/March-c74391, Japan had to face one of the worst natural disasters in its history when a earthquake of a magnitude of 8.9 on the Richter scale struck the north-east coast of Japan. This caused a mammoth tsunami which left more than 10,000 people dead. To make the damage even worse, the tsunami severely damaged the nuclear power plant in Fukushima and caused severe panic in Japan.
The nuclear reactor has already started to emit immense radiation and all Asian countries have been forewarned of the radioactive material travelling through the atmosphere. If it rains within the Subcontinent then there is a possibility that the rain could be acidic and radioactive in nature. This has raised concerns for Lorgat about the fate of the World Cup final.
Logart has stated, “Rain is expected on April 2nd and it could very easily disturb the stable proceedings of the world cup final”. He further added, “Because of all the radioactivity in the air, there is a chance that the rain would make World Cup Trophy radioactive and could cost millions of dollars of loss to ICC”.
During the finals, it is traditional to place the trophy in open air. This is so that every player can see what they will receive if they win. This is a worrying situation for the ICC as they have spent millions on the ornamentation and polishing of the World Cup Trophy and they don’t want its gold to become radioactive with a downpour of nuclear rain. Physicists have also stated that the radioactive particles within the rain may turn the trophy’s color from light gold to deep blue.
Lorgat said, “We are also planning to take sushi out from the menu for the finalists as most of the tuna fish in the Pacific Ocean have been contaminated and we cannot risk the health of our international players”. Sushi has been picked as one of the specialties for the World Cup finalists and it is customary for players to be served sushi during the lunch break. Sharhad Pawar, President of the ICC, is quite disturbed by the whole issue and has insisted he will not break the Sushi tradition and has ordered some fresh Sushi from the nearest Japanese restaurant.
Lorgat has strongly advised the players to wear groin protectors during the post match ceremony as the radioactive particles within the rain could have some catastrophic effects in the future efficiency of the players.
