West Indies were batting, chasing down Englands total of 270 when bad light crept in. The Windies coach worked out that by pulling their players off for bad light they'd inevitably win under the DL method.
But wait.
Their coach got his maths all wrong and by pulling his players off the field, they'd actually forfeited the game, and lost by a single run 
The coach's face when he realised was fucking priceless Somebody handed him a piece of paper after he called them in, and his face dropped
Cheers WI 
From BBC Sport:
2145: This is remarkable. The replays show that coach John Dyson called the batsmen in, but replays also show him being handed a piece of paper a few minutes later and realising he's made a horrible rick. Skipper Gayle, meanwhile, looked like he was sat in front of an episode of Songs of Praise throughout the whole process. The England players not celebrating yet, although Dyson is doing his nut on the balcony. Whoops-a-daisy, Martin Hayesy...
Wicket falls
48th over - WICKET - Ramdin lbw b Broad 11 (WI 244-7)
Broad tempts Ramdin outside off-stump and Ramdin misses. But that's a wide from Broad next up... BUT HE'S TRAPPED RAMDIN PLUMB IN FRONT! Perhaps more significantly, West Indies are behind for first time on Duckworth-Lewis... oh my life, this is scandalous - the umpires have offered the light and the batsmen, clearly thinking they're still ahead, leave the field, punching gloves. Strauss, meanwhile, smiles wryly, knowing that England are in fact ahead. Cricket at its most farcical.

Surely indoor bowls is on a par with both golf and cricket.
Though the comment "like he was sat in front on an episode of Songs of Praise" did make me lol.
