Here’s hoping to not another 10 wicket loss

I love watching India try and fail to win ICC events and I despise the push out of India for franchise cricket to rule the world.

My issues with England are to do with their test side and the hollier than thou hypocrites in charge of their test side.

So, I hope England win their semi final against India but that South Africa go on and win the tournament.

Apparently if India got through to the semis they were always going to play this one in Guyana to meet the Indian evening TV audience.

The other semi in Trinidad has a reserve day...this one doesn't.

It's rainy season in Guyana, 23 heavy days of rain in June on average, the forecast is bleak, if the day is a washout India go through.

How can one semi have a reserve day and the other not, especially when that one is the one likely to suffer rain.

This is the kind of rubbish that the ICC serve up.

Whoever wins this wins the whole thing you'd think.

South Africa need to get past Afghanistan obviously which I don’t they will but they haven’t lost a game and played on some rubbish pitches. Defended sub 115 twice and chased two low targets on crap pitches. You have to put them 2nd favourites behind India imo.

Apparently because there is no enough time between a possible reserve day and the final.
The Afg v Rsa game is played on a Wednesday, and Ind v Eng is played on a Thursday.
The reserve day for the Ind v Eng game would then be Friday with the final on Saturday.
Hence they have given more time on this game rather than adding a reserve day

I think they have from 10:30am to around 7pm to complete the match with a minimum of 10 overs instead of 5 required.

Looking at this you'd think we'll definitely get a game, only takes 5 overs a side.

I understand that but in the original planning they should have given time for a reserve day with both. Anyway looks like there's no issue now.

England going to stomp these fools which is unfortunate. I'm hoping for a meteor strike on the ground.

Going to have clear those puddles first .

Harsha says ground has 'big boundaries'. 69 and 70 square metre boundaries.

10:05 Local Time, 14:05 GMT, 19:35 IST: More updates from Vijay Tagore. 'Groundsmen are coming out, covers may be coming off in a few minutes'. Dravid is out assessing the conditions and he has a few words with Paul Reiffel, the 4th umpire for the game. The groundstaff are out in numbers now, they could start to remove the covers

10 overs minimum in a semi or final to constitute a game

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Go back to raining lol

 

[ep2018]

I wont lie, it would be funny if England are knocked out because there's no play today. Would hate it if it were us.

The whinging from Piers if it is rained out will be worth it alone

10:30 Local Time, 14:30 GMT, 20:00 IST: The drizzle has stopped and groundsmen are coming out, informs Vijay Tagore. Covers are coming off and the sun is out too. Can see Virat Kohli sauntering out for warm-ups, looks very bright and sunny on TV

Was looking forward to this match but it's getting too late now

10:45 Local Time, 14:45 GMT, 20:15 IST: Rohit has come out to have a look at the pitch. The players have started their warm-ups and the bowlers have started marking their run-ups. It looks all positive at the moment with the inspection postponed to 11:15 am

Big in an IPL context.

Same boat, was happy to watch the first 3/4 of the first innings as a late nighter, now I feel like we're not even going to start until nearly 2am
