Or is it perhaps the case that the reserve day is used where a game (minimum 25 overs, I think??) cannot be concluded, and so you come back the next day and start the entire match again??Bit of chatter about the WC semi tomorrow night being impacted by rain. There is a reserve day on Friday (the forecast for which is apparently even worse).
Does anyone know the provisions for using the reserve day? So for example, let's say South Africa bats first and bats through its 50 overs. When the Aussies bat, the rain comes and only 40 overs can be squeezed in. Does the game revert to Duckworth-Lewis, or do the remaining ten overs get played on the reserve day?
Basically, when does the game get reduced because of rain, versus when does the reserve day come into play?
The reserve day is just a continuation of whatever occured on the previous day as far as I know.Bit of chatter about the WC semi tomorrow night being impacted by rain. There is a reserve day on Friday (the forecast for which is apparently even worse).

My understanding is that the preference is to get the game completely on the scheduled day, so in that case they wouldn't use the reserve day as Aus have faced the minimum required 20 oversBit of chatter about the WC semi tomorrow night being impacted by rain.

Yep, makes sense.My understanding is that the preference is to get the game completely on the scheduled day, so in that case they wouldn't use the reserve day as Aus have faced the minimum required 20 overs
They continue on so in that case SA would bat for another 10 to get to 40 and then Aus would have 40 overs to chase.Yep, makes sense.
So the follow up question is, do they pick up where they left off the next day if the match isn't completed? Or start again. Or perhaps even somewhere inbetween?
Example: SA bats first. After 20 overs, it rains. Game is reduced to 40 overs. After 30 overs, it rains again, no further play.
Do they turn up the next day and bat for 10 more overs? Or do they try to get to the full 50 now? Or is the game reduced to 30 overs using D/L to calculate SA's score? Or start from scratch?? Seems very messy, no matter which option is taken.
That all makes sense.They continue on so in that case SA would bat for another 10 to get to 40 and then Aus would have 40 overs to chase.
The only exception I believe would be, if SA bat for 20, rain comes, overs are reduced to 40 but rain comes again as they are about to resume, it would resume on the reserve day as a 50 over game.
No, I think the ICC will actually come down pretty hard on them. New Zealand should expect a huge punishment.
ICC pissed at them, expect quite a slap with that wet lettuce leaf
Surely he'd have to be in the conversation for the first test.South Australia 5/84. Joel Paris with 3/23. Dude deserves a baggy green at some point.

I mean, taking wickets is pretty fun, right?Surely he'd have to be in the conversation for the first test.
He's taking wickets for fun.
This last wicket of 43 unbroken so far is really annoying.
Hazlewood and Starc are untouchable in CA's eyesSurely he'd have to be in the conversation for the first test.
