Forecast of Rain ...... hmmmmmmmmmm


West Indies have won the toss and chosen to bowl

 

[Fire Bird]

Good decision to field by WI. It will give them a better chance to assess the game situation in case of rain. It will be a good game but WI wins it comfortably I think.

Best batting lineup in Minnows.

Afghan bowling + Irish Batting/Fielding = Very good team.

After an encouraging over for Ireland, the squall has worsened and the covers have been brought on. So, the forecast rain has arrived. Time now to wait it out and see if the players can get back out there. The good news is that Ireland have faced enough overs for an 'innings'; the bad is that West Indies might not be too worried about knocking that target off, even with the D/L adjustment.

 

[Executioner]

well, atmohpshere is as poor as usual

 

[Mohsin]

YES!

Rain's stopped, covers coming off as i type

[Ahson8]

Blast - the overhead sprinkler has whirred back into action, and on comes the tarpaulin once again.

 

[MRSN]

[Digital]

Covers are off now

 

[MRSN]

[Asif321]

[asif9138]

[MRSN]

Cricinfo

This, from Adam in Australia, could be served crispy with soy sauce and pancakes: "Porterfield canardly believe that he got out for another golden duck..." That's actually the third first-baller Porterfield has received in a row against Full Member opposition (WI today, Australia last week and in their abandoned ODI during the summer), to go with Bangalore 2011 against England in the World Cup.

) oh poor Porterfield and he's the skipper

 

[MRSN]

play about to restart

 

[Justcrazy]

What is the situation?

 

[Digital]

Final touch going o

 

[BaaliSoda]

Nothing in cricket that irritates me as much as these stoppages caused by rain or poor light when sitting in front of the idiot box to cool off my brain after an hard day's work

 

[MRSN]

hope we don't lose any overs...

 

[Justcrazy]

A shortened match would be interesting.

 

[Justcrazy]

Mark my words if Ireland get Gayle early WI would struggle.

 

[Digital]

Players are out

 

[Ahson8]

The covers are coming off again! No news on a restart time as yet but the outfield is currently being mopped and polished.

 

[Executioner]
