THEY ARE REMOVING COVERS
They will move the matches after today may be.Just hope all India's matches wash out and Jay Shay will be held responsible for financial losses
India should get knocked out by tomorrow.Just hope all India's matches wash out and Jay Shay will be held responsible for financial losses
SL isn't good enough to beat India for sure.India should get knocked out by tomorrow.
Pakistan and Sri Lanka should be the final, and hopefully we win it this time.
Rizwan sitting with the ground staff
I think so as well ..... we might be looking at a cliche final.SL isn't good enough to beat India for sure.
I thought the boards agreed to move the games to Hambantota? What exactly happened in that meeting? Why the decision was made and then reversed all of a sudden?
May be we should add another reserve day and re-schedule the rest of the games since this is the BCCI world and they can do whatever the hell they want.
Na Rizwan knows that’s where the camera’s areSo down to earth our Pakistani players are! Fakhar and Rizwan must feel what the ground staff has gone through in order to dry these grounds after the heavy rainfall.
Looks like you've figured it all out, but that's a lot of ''ifs'' there. Hoping for some clear skies and solid cricket action soonHere are the equations:
- If we only get 20 over game today - Pakistan target 181. The latest when the game can start is 10.36 PM local time
- If this game gets washed out, tomorrow's game against SL will be virtual knockout for India
- If tomorrow's game is also washed out, India would rely on Pak to beat SL on Thursday and then India have to beat BD on Friday to qualify
- If Pak-SL game is also washed out on Thursday and Ind beat BD on friday, one of SL & Ind will qualify based on run rate
- If all games from here on gets washed out, it will be Pak vs SL final
- If final also washed out - SL will retain ASIA CUP 2023
There was reporting on this by a Pakistani news anchor called Waseem Badami, basically an email was sent to the various boards that the matches would be moved to Hambantota...then 17 mins later the decision was reversed. Jay Shah is of course an Indian genius so we are not allowed to say anything bad about that...ahem
They did, these phony IPL stars are full of nakhraasI think Indian players complained about the facilities and travelling to Hambantota
Jay Shah is a puppet and can't make any decision on his own. Not his fault the goverment there runs BCCI and ICC
No. I’m against selective, overpraising of certain individuals…whilst at the same time there is a selective under appreciation of others.You always try to make out Rizwan is the worst person on earth. Why so much hatred. He is not that bad player you are making out to be.
So we get a full game today? Assuming no more rain?rain stopped.
soo it looks the ground underneath was dry. Massive credit to the sri lanka ground staff that coeverd the ground in advance. And these tarpals are very good quality it seems
So we get a full game today? Assuming no more rain?
I was hoping for reduced game ... india in good positionDepends.
They start losing overs after 6:22 PM (local time), which is approximately 2 and 1/2 hours from now. If they start before that, no overs are lost.
It’s like everything and everyone is moving in slow motion (except the groundstaff). There’s no urgency, just a bunch of standing around.By the time the covers come off and the official inspection takes place, rain will come back.
Na apparently we are on top because we took 2 wicketsI was hoping for reduced game ... india in good position
Asia Cup or the world cup?My suggestion is that if somehow India and Pakistan qualify for the final to continue this game there as well
How did that happen? Did he eat too much cake and has a stomach ache?Haris Rauf injued
Biryani and korma most probably, careless guyHow did that happen? Did he eat too much cake and has a stomach ache?
Its not an injury, its a side strain that happens after bowling (happens to express bowlers). Basically he needs rest. Today would had been a rest day, but because he is being forced to play back to back and is not resting his side strain could aggrevate.How did that happen? Did he eat too much cake and has a stomach ache?
Side strain, same like Shreyas IyerHow did Rauf get injured? I am sure they didn't do any practice also.
we are done....... expect 320+ scoreHeard Rauf picked up a side strain, so wont be bowling.
I see 3 quick wickets in 5 overswe are done....... expect 320+ score
How so that was a minimum 300 pitch and conditions. All Pakistanis are in good batting form.Like India care about not qualifying for the final
They will leave this tournament as the true champions. Pakistan need to win this game if they want to truly claim dominance. Up to now, India have bossed Pakistan in both games with no results
Cricket is such a rubbish game. Even if it stops raining, the match officials have inspections for two hours before the game starts.
Waste of time honestly this tournament. The organization was mucked up. I am not sure, but I believe Jay Shah in his pathetic own world believes the PCB will take the brunt of criticism for this mess up. Jay Shah is getting absolutely destroyed to smithereens on social media lol
Can Pakistan substitute him?Side strain, same like Shreyas Iyer
I hope Shaheen doesn't see this and starts targeting stump again like he did yesterday.I see 3 quick wickets in 5 overs
how so? 5 overs of part timer needed.we are done....... expect 320+ score
Yeah I guess they can lie that he has a head injury?How so that was a minimum 300 pitch and conditions. All Pakistanis are in good batting form.
Can Pakistan substitute him?
Are we with 10 players now?Its not an injury, its a side strain that happens after bowling (happens to express bowlers). Basically he needs rest. Today would had been a rest day, but because he is being forced to play back to back and is not resting his side strain could aggrevate.
Thus, good form Pakistan to just rest him
Yes, for fielding onlyHow so that was a minimum 300 pitch and conditions. All Pakistanis are in good batting form.
Can Pakistan substitute him?
Head injury has to happen during the live play...on a serious note, for actual injuries, you should be able to substitute, especially when you have reserve days added in for ODIs....Yeah I guess they can lie that he has a head injury?
He bowled too many half volleys and boundary balls. Shadaab then bowled too many full tosses and half trackers to balloon Indias run rate.I hope Shaheen doesn't see this and starts targeting stump again like he did yesterday.
Keep dreaming!India should get knocked out by tomorrow.
Pakistan and Sri Lanka should be the final, and hopefully we win it this time.
It is flat pitch wait and watchmoisture on pitch and in air should aid bowling, i expect ball not to come onto wicket - unless sun burns through.
outfield will be heavy. but good to see action starting soon
no. Pakistan needs to take wickets so that the dls score fallsShortened match would have suited Pakistan, now this target may go out of reach.
Wish they would just start it as shortened game right now since everyone knows what's coming.The dark clouds above clearly suggest it will rain anytime soon. I know they are starting the game but no way we are getting any result. I think even players know it and will be taking more as practice
No team deserves to win a tournament without winning SF and Finals (somehow have to qualify for that first). Otherwise South Africa should have easily won 2 or 3 world cups...Pakistan are the 2019 World Cup winners in my books.
The inform team that brushed aside England and New Zealand, hit form at the right time to beat South Africa, Afghanistan and Bangladesh.
The only thing that stopped them was the lack of a reserve day against Sri Lanka....
Sounds ridiculous doesn't it?
But this is a complete shambles of a tournament and wreaks of corruption.
Shah is swinging it- maybe not much, but still there is swing....not exactly flat pitch. i dont think batting might be easy.It is flat pitch wait and watch
