KFC Twenty20 International Game 1: Australia v England @ Adelaide (Wed)

[aussierulesrules]

It's been forecast to clear this afternoon, but as you said, it's unlikely that they'll have prepared a suitable pitch. Probably wouldn't want to bat first on it, like on Boxing Day.
Imagine if we bowl first and they have to face Tait and Lee on a pitch that's doing a bit (or a lot)!

Yeah, and rain all week would've made it very difficult to prepare a pitch.

The radar looks to be clearing in the afternoon so if it doesn't rain after 3:00 you'd think 4 hours would be enough to dry the ground out.

what's the policy on refunds for tickets?

Less than 15 overs played for the entire match and no result means you get your money back.

So if the play a 5 over per side game you get nothing back.

The rain has finally stopped here. We're had 35mm today so it's going to take a massive effort for the groundstaff to get the ground ready in time. No more rain on the radar which is good news.

Remember the famous words of Victor Richardson: "Don't captain like a Victorian." Still true today.

So what are the chances that we won't see any cricket tonight? High?

I think they'll play although I wouldn't want to be batting first.

not sure if already mentioned but how cringeworthy was having dancers come out each time a 6 was hit or a wicket fell. dont need that.
