Cricket World Cup 2019

Indians look ominous.

Is this weather good news or bad news for South Africa?

I think both teams would be frustrated.

Still wet and miserable here at the Ageas. Wipe it down for the day. No chance of a start.

We have now equaled the record for most washouts in a world cup, apparently.

Should look at 2 day games, each game having a reserve day, will be poor for crowds on the 2nd day but at least there is more chance of games being completed

Certainly enough time like, it’s the main reason cricket has ceiling in this country

One day match, with a second day right after as reserve seems exceedingly easy.

Why can't they play in light drizzle?

Let’s have a World Cup in May/June. Great idea...

Surprising tbh that 2 is the record. Even in countries with more reliable weather you can get the odd wet day over the course of a month

July and August can be shit. September and October will be glorious as usual

They can be but with a tournament like this I feel you need to play it safe. Yeah when I lived in Cornwall Sept & Oct were my two favourite months.....glorious usually.

When Sept and Oct are nice, once the season is over, it just pisses me off especially if we've had s shit summer

Nice warm up for the final for India and Australia. Aussies will come back strong at Lord's but India should see it out if they hold their nerve

Haway, they won’t be getting to the final with Maxwell and Stoinis throwing down 20 overs of pies.

Tbf last year's May/June was a scorcher

 

[Silly Point]

Feels like f***ing December out there ffs

 

[TheRey]

I'm at Canterbury for K*nt v Somerset, and it's lovely here. Just pot luck, unfortunately

 

[JL1985]

A team could get through to the semi final by only winning a couple of games.

True, I bet the Sri Lankans wished they hadn’t bothered coming over. We’d be gutted if it was England that had 2 games washed out.

Play abandoned for the day

Tomorrow not looking amazing at Taunton, could get a reduced game in but NR still looks favourite.

Yikes. I’ve scored a miracle ticket to Pak - India and will be flying out from DC. Hope I a) don’t get killed; b) don’t get this thing rained out.

The weather next week looks a lot better mate so fingers crossed. I went to the last India v Pakistan game on our shores in 99.....it was crackers
