Am I alone in finding the additional half hour time difference extremely confusing? I accept there has to be a time difference and 4 hours or 5 hours I could probably cope with but I get confused when I am told that play will resume after lunch at 20 to and that actually means 10 past.
I can only assume the answer lies in the fact that IST in itself is a compromise covering, as it does, a very substantial chunk of land, also in terms of longitude.
Would it not be possible for the powers that be to have the entire Indian sub-continent dragged 7.5 degrees east or west so that the populations of Europe can keep track of the cricket scores?

It's ok if you happen to be in Newfoundland, as they are 3 1/2 hours behind London time, making it a straight eight hour difference.
A nuisance otherwise, I'd concede.0
