Pakistan VS England 2nd ODI: Score Updates! (Eng Innings)

[Oxy]

Really?

Lots of pictures does slow it down - which we try to avoid in the commentary thread where speed is reqd. I guess with no play, it doesnt really matter...

 

[iZeeshan]

i hate rain

[Razwan000]

Well I am sorry for reposting the picture. Just wanted to tell moiez to stop doing it. Shouldnt have quoted him...

 

[Toony™®]

Interesting to hear on the radio..bcos we played sri lanka b4 england tour..the usual triangular team tournament was disabanded as notattractive enough for tv sponsors. - according to david graveney.

otherwise matches would of been in July.

 

[Toony™®]

anyone got a stream pleaseee

only rain.

 

[UJ]

Its a shame - Pak fast bowlers will love these overcast conditions!!

 

[MIG]

This is joke - no wonder baseball followers scoff at cricket ! Get Indoor stadiums and be done with it !

 

[Usman Chadda]

anyone got a stream pleaseee

All you will see is rain unfortunately...

Don't you dare mention the "B" word! (Baseball)

 

[Hussain]

we should have a 20 20 game instead of trying to have 40 overs or so a side
and then risk a washout once the rain falls in the 2nd inns

 

[UJ]

Having a roof over every stadium isn't feasible

I hope this is an eye opener for the ECB to consider reserve days etc.

 

[Usman Chadda]

So any news? Any idea when is this shower going to stop?

 

[zMario]

They'd do D/L then if it rains after 20 overs bowled in 2nd inns

 

[Toony™®]

covers coming off.

 

[Usman Chadda]

Still no news to give you - it's steadily raining.

[Oxy]

The autjorities will be desperate to start and bowl10.1 overs - that means a refund of only 50%. Next step will be to bowl 25.1 overs - to avoid ANY refund at all.

Believe me!

 

[Usman Chadda]

20-minute interval

49-overs a side match

[Usman Chadda]

Pakistani side onto the field (in a huddle)

 

[Taurus]

It seems pointless to even start. Looking at the forecast, we'll be lucky to see more than 15 overs of play.

 

[zMario]

Pakistan players on the field

 

[Toony™®]

lunch interval cut down by 15 mins.

[MIG]

Meanwhile outside Lords - there are scenes of mayhem - England being hit by Monsoons...

 

[zMario]

Is that even long enough? I mean, Pakistan players are gonna be chowing down their food, especially Malik and Hafeez, they gotta open too

EDGED, DOESNT CARRY!

COME FORWARD You DOOFUSES!

 

[iZeeshan]

[Toony™®]

[Nice-N-Fresh]

It should be attacking! England´s confidence will not be high at the moment, we should take an advantage of it

 

[aamir]

Keeper and Slip too far back edge falls short or Akmal.

 

[Zeenix]

England of the mark 1/0

 

[zMario]
