Nope, its raining again. They can't reduce overs in this game...that would just be comical!

 

[12thMan]

They will go to 5/5. There are no reserve days I think. Atleast not for semi-finals where if rain causes no play they will start looking at results (or stats) of previous games

What is 5/5 ? 5 overs each?

 

[hasbeen]

yeh

 

[12thMan]

What is 5/5 ? 5 overs each?

yes

Both sides must bat a minimum of five overs to constitute a match, but if there is a wash-out both teams will gain one point each.

no bowl out for wash outs. only for tied game

 

[12thMan]

rain has stopped but it is misty and moving away - Rameez

 

[tmac4real]

lol i want to see a whole match. No 5/5 that's just retarded, and giving a point each is no fun either.

 

[hasbeen]

scotland won the toss and bowl first

 

[12thMan]

Sreesanth looks like a nice guy. Referred to Shoaib and Afridi as Bhai

Scotland won the toss and will bowl first. Dhoni failed in his first toss as captain

Really annoying, covers coming back on AGAIN !

rofl 5/5 ... what kind of nonsense is that ?

 

[12thMan]

Sreesanth said he has some new delivery and will use it this and/or next match. He didn't say what it was. I hope he was talking about a new dance move or will do one after the ball.

covers are on the pitch

 

[cornered paktiger]

Just imagine - if this is rained off and we beat India by a greater margin than we beat Scotland................India go out!

That would make me )

 

[161]

just wondering ... is the grass still on the wicket ?

 

[iZeeshan]

Well, now that we know that the match won't be rescheduled then tomorrow's game must only be half and hour delay with a full 20/20 game!

i'd rather india just lose straight to scotland

Sreesanth doesn't know much of Hindi.He is from a south Indian state where the language is Malayalam. The guy is fake.He refers Sachin as 'Sachin paaji'.Only Punjabi guys use the word Paaji
He just wanted to show off in front of the media that he has command over Hindi.

HAHAHAHAHAH
Sachin paaji, that's hilarious. He should be calling Harbhajan or Yuvraj paaaji

 

[12thMan]

well he is funny

[PlanetPakistan]

and what if tomorrow's game too washed out? we are in to the next round without playng a single game

and IND will carry 1 bonus point too

 

[Usman Chadda]

This match is most probably heading towards a 5 overs a side affair

That would be awesome )

Although it'd be nice to see India in the next satge, the bragging rights would be

Yeah. Atleast if this gets rained out then we're definitely through.

 

[Phuzz]

i hate it when the rain spoils things though.. even if there is a chance india might be going out . I would hate tomorrows match to be rained off. I

[MIB]

y not declare victory to Scotland since they won the toss.....

 

[12thMan]

it is still raining. maybe an update in 20 min and that is probably when they call it off.

Why not just play with just regular tennis ball in rain.

 

[Uzzy]

Match has been abandoned. Both teams get a point each.

 

[iZeeshan]

Aaah, this stinks! Hope Pakistan don't completely OWN India. Scotland in the next group would be so terrible.

 

[Matic]

I wonder who decides host nations for tournaments.

Because the 2007 World Cup was hosted while it was rain season in the caribbean. I remember hearing during yesterday's Australia v Zimbabwe match that South Africa get the most rain during these months.

I'd like to see Pakistan play India tomorrow. I doubt there is any chance India will let Pakistan get an upper hand, their fates decide on a win or run rate. Can we say 2007 World Cup again?

 

[moiez_no1]

well i can say that this is a major down point for india because they have just come from the tour from england & they need practice in the twenty20 format .. so basicaly they have missed out on a match practice in the twenty20 format ..so right know i think that pakistan should crush india tomorrow if theres any chance of play because they weather states light rain . hmm good luck
