T20 World Cup

If this gets rained off makes the whole thing a bit of a farce. The Australia game was essentially a knock out game.

Means India will play Scotland.

Fair play to them. England made some terrible decisions against the Aussies

 

[summerisle]

Jesus, lucky to get five over match at best.

 

[Tommy Chong]

It's a crazy been a crazy tournament that's for sure.

Nepal almost beat SA last night!
And the story about them having Buddhist monks in the squad who are using the world cup and a means of achieving complete enlightenment is a load of wham, right?

 

[Ivo]

Bad news, it's raining. England go out if either our or Scotland's game is washed out

 

[Ivo]

Seems rediculous there isn't a contingency plan for the rain, at least for the final round of matches in the group which can essentially be knock out games themselves.

Ironic if England get knocked out by the rain playing away in the Caribbean for all the weather we have to deal with here. Bit like Lancs having a washout away to Surrey or Kent I guess.

Great idea to stage it in the rainy season.

[Walken]

More rain, shambles

Near time for England tomorrow.

 

[Sean Ashley]

Not looking good for any play, surely reserve days have to be included teams shouldn't be eliminated based on rain

Mad ain't it, be honest this tournament has been a farce so far. Why T20 won't be able to match the Test format hard to create the same drama or have these special bowling spells.

It is... I mean, putting one of the grounds in New York? Home of the New York Yankees?

Those harden New Yorkers must walk past the stadium everyday and spit at it, because: 'Yo baseball is the real deal! What's this pansy-ass, tea drinkin', crumpet eatin' foofy sport doing in my city?!? Getdafukouttahere!!!!!'

What about a test cricket world cup? Now there's a thought. I wouldn't be opposed to that. 5 days a game. The WC would go on for months!

In bygone times test tours would go on for months in the ancient rules of rest days and 8 ball overs. The stuff of Boycotts dreams.

I like the World Test championship they have implemented and think ICC should push that more, only think is I don't think players and teams care for it yet. Don't blame them when all the money is in IPL and other franchise cricket though.

The timeless test between SA and England in 1939 that went on for almost 2 weeks but ultimately had to be called a draw because the boat that was taking the English team home was leaving the next day!

Money talks I'm afraid mate....
