ICC CT 2017 | India v Pakistan | 4th June, 2017 | Birmingham | India innings

[jnaveen1980]

Again drizzling ***

 

[Arham_PakFan]

Started to drizzle again.

 

[wasimjunior]

Need to take advantage of this rain break and induce a collapse now. Momentum broken

 

[ethan hunt]

I actually think that pakistan have bowled really well minus wahab so far .
Sarfraz has been really poor with his captaincy though .

 

[chinaman00]

The sun is out now after the drizzle. Does this mean swing is on offer?

 

[CricVet]

[MENTION=46929]shaz619[/MENTION] thanks for coming buddy.

I've been carrying the optimism in this thread along with [MENTION=139150]aliasad1998[/MENTION], rest are acting like their roza is 23 hours long today )

Excuse me...I am the most optimistic today.

 

[Ellipsism]

Rain coming down again.

 

[Mamoon]

Bas baatein karwalo Sarfraz se. Karachi ka Mushfiq.

 

[Arham_PakFan]

Players going off the field again.

 

[Rayyman]

Forecast showing no more rain for whole day

 

[Justcrazy]

Its drizzling again .

The more it rains , better for pakistan.

 

[marlonbrowndo]

If it rains for 2 minutes the crazy officials will make them go off for half an hour

 

[rizrox]

I guess he was expecting rain to fall anytime & didnt want to give his wicket away . The latter would have also affected D/L calculations .

 

[chinaman00]

Another patch of drizzle again according to cricinfo

 

[shaz619]

haha soo true
I back us to chase 320 in 49 overs. Indian bowling isnt much of a threat in these conditions. Batsmen needs to fire.

That's it my brother! this wicket is still good, but you need to be able to grip a ball to execute your plans Indian fans are in for a royal spank

 

[Itachi]

Great time to hold a tournament.

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Forecast showing no more rain for whole day

Yeah. Clearly....

 

[Sunzi]

Need a few wickets straight away after the break

190M population and we cant find a couple bowlers and batsman of quality?

Yaar.

 

[CricFan2012]

Did you watch them interviewing each other?

no, go on

 

[jnaveen1980]

Im surprised Indian fans aren't bashing rohit. This has been an azharesque terrible knock. He's made 3 runs off his last 19 balls. That's criminal stuff

1) He can make up like nobody in the world.

2) He is back after 8 month break

3) Dhoni will be thrice slower if he comes in now. Yuvi a walking wicket

 

[ahmedwaqas92]

Drizzling again

W....T.....H......

 

[Zak_Fan]

Will be a shame if all those power hitters down the order don't get to bat.

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Indians will run through us. We might get to 180 or 200.

 

[kingusama92]

Drizzling again.

 

[Sunzi]

More rain

 

[Madplayer]

You call this sprinkle rain? Get on with it.

 

[Hawkeye]

Aur khelao Wahab ko

[MENTION=134608]Hawkeye[/MENTION]

Use logic and IQ to answer this question:

What's better - someone conceding 100 vs. someone conceding 200?

 

[CricVet]

Bas baatein karwalo Sarfraz se. Karachi ka Mushfiq.

I am sure he will prove himself better than LORI ...

 

[Square Drive]

Next few overs should be:

Amir (34)
Malik (35)
Wahab (36)
Malik (37)
Shadab (38)
Imad (39)
Shadab (40)
Imad (41)
Hasan (42)
Amir (43)
Shadab (44)
Hasan (45)
Amir (46)
Hasan (47)
Amir (48)
Hasan (49)

 

[Kaptan]

Pakistani players on the groung be like : I like walking in rain so that no one can see me crying
#copied

 

[big_gamer007]

More rain looks like this game is heading for a draw.. Good result for Pakistan.. Pathetic ICC

 

[Syed1]

More rain lol

 

[yadunoe]

England should be banned from hosting cricket what is this rain b.s. we waited 5 years for this match and rain

 

[JibranAnsari]

Shabash rain.. i love you.

 

[gkb101277867]

What i don't understand is why has there been no play the last 20 minutes when it's not been raining? Why do you have to waste 30 mins of playing time?

 

[rizrox]

Im surprised Indian fans aren't bashing rohit. This has been an azharesque terrible knock. He's made 3 runs off his last 19 balls. That's criminal stuff

He was protecting his wicket as rain threat was looming . The more wickets u have in hand , the more tougher D/L target the opposition gets in case the overs are reduced

 

[Square Drive]

Excuse me...I am the most optimistic today.

Sorry brother, forgot you, [MENTION=131678]Madplayer[/MENTION], and [MENTION=137148]Rayyman[/MENTION]. You haven't posted as much as me and AliAsad though, that's why.

 

[Justcrazy]

India has lost only one wicket , DL system will help India.

 

[shaz619]

More rain lol

It takes a while for the summer to kick in that's the other reason I got tickets for the semis

 

[big_gamer007]

Will be a shame if all those power hitters down the order don't get to bat.

Exactly pathetic scheduling from ICC.. The best games are all being washed out it seems

 

[troodon]

Will be a shame if all those power hitters down the order don't get to bat.

All that matters is Rohit's century #selfish

 

[Square Drive]

Khush ho jao Pakistanion

 

[shaz619]

RAIN RAIN go AWAY! PLEASE LET US DESTROY INDIA and shut up all these wrist slitters

 

[ethan hunt]

Stop raining . Want to see the game.
Shady has bowled pretty well so far considering the conditions.

 

[kingusama92]

What i don't understand is why has there been no play the last 20 minutes when it's not been raining? Why do you have to waste 30 mins of playing time?

Water has to be removed before the covers can be taken off.

It takes 10-15 minutes to do this.

 

[SarfiBabarHaris]

48 overs per side. 1 less over for Wahab. yaayyy!!

 

[HinderTheJinder]

48 overs now

 

[last_knight]

Yeah sorry, I was looking at 302 from 50 overs. That is favoring Pak, given the current circumstance of India having 9 wickets in hand.

D/L calculate two assets SIMULTANEOUSLY.

 

[Arham_PakFan]

Play about to resume...

 

[roshanrocks]

Perfect time for rain to stop game...

 

[Dr_Bassim]

How can Edgbaston look bright and sunny and then drizzle and rain 5 minutes later ?

 

[troodon]

India should have been at 200/1 by now.

Last 5 overs only 15 scored. Just terrible batting. No intent at all.

 

[Pakistani Pace]

RAIN RAIN go AWAY! PLEASE LET US DESTROY INDIA and shut up all these wrist slitters

Brum sucks weathers better in London

 

[gkb101277867]

Water has to be removed before the covers can be taken off.

It takes 10-15 minutes to do this.

Why waste 30 minutes instead of 15 then?

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Rain stopped. Umpires please get on with it....

 

[CricVet]

Sorry brother, forgot you, [MENTION=131678]Madplayer[/MENTION], and [MENTION=137148]Rayyman[/MENTION]. You haven't posted as much as me and AliAsad though, that's why.

I am always Pakistan ...Rain or Shine buddy . Unlike some, I owe everything to my bread and butter(s) PAK and USA however much I get bashed. People should be namak halal.

 

[Ankit007]

Forecast for rest of the day is ok. Good gracious

 

[HinderTheJinder]

Start in about 5 min

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Not only is Birmingham one of the most boring cities in the world, it also has terrible weather

 

[ahmedwaqas92]

It's 2017 and science still haven't found a way around for cricket being played while it rained

Where is our tax paying money going towards????

 

[jnaveen1980]

India should have been at 200/1 by now.

Last 5 overs only 15 scored. Just terrible batting. No intent at all.

They assumed they will bat full 50 overs.

 

[justfaisal]

Pakistani bowling has gone to **** in the past few years, do you guys think Muhammad asif and saeed ajmal will make a come back or PCB is too corrupt for that to happen?

 

[Madplayer]

How many minutes before it starts again?

 

[shaz619]

Brum sucks weathers better in London

I love the rain outside its appearance during Ind/Pak games I usually go for a jog in the rain as well, it's so romantic

 

[WC-Passion]

How can Edgbaston look bright and sunny and then drizzle and rain 5 minutes later ?

That's how England has worked for the last 16 years I've been here unfortunately

 

[kingusama92]

Play is set to resume at 2.20pm, and the match is now 48 overs a side.

 

[marlonbrowndo]

48 overs each

 

[JibranAnsari]

So 15 more overs to go , expecting india to score 150 more at least.

 

[shaz619]

How many minutes before it starts again?

I blame all the Indians they all need to stop praying, if they tone down their prayers then maybe we will get play within 10-15 minutes

 

[kingusama92]

Two overs from Wahab gone.

 

[Square Drive]

Resumption in 4 minutes. 48 overs a side.

 

[Syed1]

I hope enough overs ar reduced so that Wahab doesn't have to bowl again

 

[jnaveen1980]

They should have never had drinks since there was rain expected.

 

[Arham_PakFan]

Amir should bowl now.

 

[Justcrazy]

48 overs game now.

India have another 15 overs left.

 

[Madplayer]

Pakistani bowling has gone to **** in the past few years, do you guys think Muhammad asif and saeed ajmal will make a come back or PCB is too corrupt for that to happen?

Saeed ajmal? Why not bring saqlain back who is just 1 year older than ajmal and much superior?

 

[Square Drive]

Two overs from Wahab gone.

Nah, I think two bowlers bowl 9.

 

[Sunzi]

Restarted!

 

[Arham_PakFan]

Amir and Hasan are the ones who need to complete their 10 overs.

 

[Square Drive]

I am always Pakistan ...Rain or Shine buddy . Unlike some, I owe everything to my bread and butter(s) PAK and USA however much I get bashed. People should be namak halal.

Shabash cheetay - stay blessed.
