England v India - Champions Trophy Final

[mikemanc]

And to prove your point, it's stopped raining but they aren't inspecting for half an hour. By which time you can guarantee it will've started raining again.

Probably, fingers crossed though.

On a brighter note, 50 for KP on his return from injury

Why does the game have to start by 4:15 for 20 overs? You get games under lights going until 10pm. Just make the game a day-nighter and have a decent length game?

No reserve day is a joke

 

[dixonsafc]

Play due to start at 3.45pm. 24 over game.

Would imagine the people working there have other things to do/plans.

Bollocks to them. Pay them over time. If this was just any game then aye, but not a world final

Also, 100 for Pietersen

Raining again

Been a good knock from KP apparently

100 off 106 balls. 12x4 & 2x6

Madness scheduling 24 overs when more bad weather forecast.

Just reduce is straight down to 20 man!

 

[Marko]

More rain

Doubt we'll see a ball bowled anyway, so will be irrelevant.

 

[MagicRat]

Looks a bit hopeless now

 

[Paddy O'Dors]

According to the Beeb it's due to rain at 4pm, 5pm, 6pm and 8pm. Might be able to squeeze 8 overs each in between 6pm and 8pm.

That madness pales into insignificance by the madness of not having a rain day for a tournament in England.

If one of the semi finals had been rained offf, would that have been carried over to the next day?

 

[SR5 1SU]

Bitterly disappointing. I knew the other day it was a bad forecast but you still hope to see some play.

Wasted a whole bastard Sunday waiting for this to start. :roll:

No. The group winners would have gone through.

You're not the only one. And to cap it all my Sky has just gone off due to the heavy rain here. Fuck it! I'm off to the pub.

 

[Andy.SAFC]

Some of the covers are coming off

T20 starting to in half an hour. Until the rain starts again, anyway
