[Amjid Javed]

Play will start at 1910 (35 mins time)

there is still time for 50 overs to be bowled.

 

[Rana]

just heard it on Sky sports

 

[yk]

Thats silly coz the rain is suppossed to MERC Cardiff at 7pm.

 

[Rana]

i think they shud let Afridi open and get us off to a flier because rain will keep interfering

 

[Amjid Javed]

The new ball will move around alot under lights, pakistan need to get off to a solid start when we open.

 

[Rana]

Dont worry YK, Cardiff is gonna get Mercd! MERCD by Afridi that is!!!

Rain rain go away, let the BEAST MERC cardiff 2day.

 

[Rob H]

Hard core Murkage!!!

 

[Rana]

) ) ) )

 

[TaZ]

Need a steady start and not to lose wickets as D/L will make our life difficult with wickets falling

 

[Rana]

we need to do the opposite of England, go out with Gunz Blazing!

 

[Nice-N-Fresh]

Rain rain go away, let the BEAST MERC cardiff 2day.

=) Good one that

 

[Gunner786]

its still raining and even 7:10 start is unlikely

hope d/l gets put in place as that would give us better chance in a way and also they will deffo send afridi at 3 or opener

 

[yk]

Bad news, more rain. start delayed.

 

[Rana]

if it gets reduced to 20 overs or something, we will only need 80 runs to win, we should win this btw, englands best chance is full 50 overs!

 

[TaZ]

D/L always has bizarre results. Suddenly we end up chasing at 6 an over instead of 4!

 

[Nice-N-Fresh]

I realle hope play can be resumed...we got to win this match and series. Frustating

 

[Amjid Javed]

Covers been taken off at moment, good news.

 

[Rana]

[Amjid Javed]

time to watch the simpsons

 

[shan]

guys any chance of play?

 

[iZeeshan]

That's BS. We had England on the ropes. But I thought if 20 overs were bowled in a match, it had to finish...

 

[infamous9383]

time to watch some baseball closest thing to cricket other than cricket in USA

 

[Gunner786]

seriously how thick are england to schedule matches in september?

 

[Shayan]

That's BS. We had England on the ropes. But I thought if 20 overs were bowled in a match, it had to finish...

its 25 overs, in the 2nd innings

 

[Usman Chadda]

Is there any chance of play today?

Agree with Pepsi. We had them on the ropes and rain comes to their rescue

 

[Nice-N-Fresh]

why cant pak bat tomorrow? It should be allowed if the weather interrupts

Yea its funny because the rain never came to OUR rescue. W/e is happening right now is BS. Pak should be allowed to resume tomorrow. You can't just scrap out a match when a WHOLE inning has been bowled. Cuz once an inning is bowled you can usually tell who's going to win. Argh! I am sooooooooooooooooooo mad!

 

[Nice-N-Fresh]

do u live in the U.S pepsi?

 

[Usman Chadda]

Baseball can suck my ****. It is the worst sport I have seen in my life.

Actually the worst sport ever should be golf. Puts me to sleep in 2 mins!

 

[iZeeshan]

do u live in the U.S pepsi?

Yes, New Jersey, USA

 

[Nice-N-Fresh]

Yea golf is pretty bad. But nothing, and I mean nothing, is worse then baseball. It is theee lowest of low of all low sports.

 

[Usman Chadda]

yes
the rain will clear in 17mins or less

Hopefully...

 

[b0wld]

Absolutely.... my frend went into coma whne he heard the prize money for this s*** of a sport (it should not even be a sport...

 

[Usman Chadda]

Anyone over here a Duckworth/Lewis method expert?

 

[iZeeshan]

yo..pepsi me tooo

i play in MCL

Plainsboro, NJ. (near princeton). No man I wanna play in leagues, but all the leagues are hard ball, and I can't play hard ball because I have ITP, its this bruising/bleeding problem. EVen though its not bad now, my parents won't let me play hard ball. But I play with tape ball, tennis ball, and a hard tennis ball all the time.

 

[iZeeshan]

Jeez pepsi calm down man. You are entitled to your opinion but why so much hatred for baseball?

Because everytime you hit the ball it either gets caught or its a foul ball.
