England v Pakistan | 4th T20I | London | May 30 | Pre-Match Discussion

[BouncerGuy]

After a series of rain-affected first and third matches, England will be looking to win the series as they won the 2nd match of the series convincingly but the touring side will be looking for some redemption and to draw the series 1-1. These matches are not just bilateral series games but they are also thought to be the predatory games for the upcoming T20 World Cup.

I think this is going to be another washout. this whole series is useless.

Pakistan should have been there in USA playing in those conditions instead of watching rain in England.

 

[Barragan]

It is dry today and from Friday onwards.

Rain predicted on the day of the game.

 

[mominsaigol]

They should have just gone for warm up games in USA

 

[FearlessRoar]

It would have been better to play warm-up games in the USA to get familiar with the conditions there

But then they'd miss out on London and Cardiff madam tsuades trips.

USA and UK can be added to their vacation portfolio now

ECB needs to become more flexible and slot in reserve days on either side of matches and be more proactive to weather changes. Schedules should be adjusted as soon as forecasts change. Even if this mean playing in an empty stadium otherwise we get this scenario.

Met office are usually accurate and they have the tools to know a week or 2 in advance.

The forecast for this game is worse than Cardiff’s weather forecast yesterday.

Complete waste of time this year.

We are going into the World Cup with no warm-up games and more questions than answers.

Touch and go it seems.

This doesn't look like practising. Looks more like a preparation for a picnic

We'll have a game tmr, I think.

The Cardiff and Leeds games were 100% wash out confirmed but this one is 50-50. London weather is too unpredictable to confirm

 

[shamaan]

I think thier will be a game tomorrow maybe 10 overs a side.

 

[KingKhanWC]

I think thier will be a game tomorrow maybe 10 overs a side.

Yes a very late start is possible

 

[Kroll]

I think thier will be a game tomorrow maybe 10 overs a side.

10 overs a side isn't really worth it is it. A maximum of 2 or 3 overs lost is still okay after that its a bit meaningless.

 

[The Bald Eagle]

This series has just been a total waste of time.

Yeah Oval's water drainage is quite efficient. If the rain stops in time we can have a full game tomorrow.

But due to the wet outfield I dont think it will be a high scoring game.
