Pakistan vs Scotland, Edinburgh, Only ODI [Updates]

[Plasma]

its raining really hard now... chances look slim to be able to play today...

 

[Osman]

this better not happen at the Pakistan India game.

 

[darkmoon459]

lol what can i do im pakistani... ok i admit they played better than us in that game.. there i said it . But everyone knows pakistan is a better team than ireland. I would have liked this match to be Pakistan vs Ireland instead.

Thank you for admiting and a Pakistani myself I know we are a much better team then the one showed up against Ireland. trust me sooner or later we will take revenge on Ireland (on the cricket field is that)

hopefully we will face them in something big again... like the champions trophy or another tournament.

I think they are playing 20/20 but don't knw if we will face them.But inshallah soon .

"12:10pm local time, 11:10am GMT - Awful. Simply awful. Buckets and buckets of water coming down as a few spectators head for the exits.
The pitch is covered, the square is covered, as lunch arrives in the press box!
Official word is that lunch will be taken at 1pm local time. Heavy rain over Edinburgh as i dive into my samosas. Great hospitality, this. Unfortunately, by the looks of things, start of play seems far, far away."

12:40pm local time, 11:40am GMT - Heavy rain persists but I do see patches of blue up in the sky. "Good 20 minutes of rain to go," chirps a local.

 

[Plasma]

there might be some hope yet!! he sees blue patches in the sky. 12:40pm local time, 11:40am GMT - Heavy rain persists but I do see patches of blue up in the sky. "Good 20 minutes of rain to go," chirps a local.

The sun's out again!! Rain's stopped. People come out of temporary shelter. Only a few hours' drying time needed now. But we can still have a game. Its sunny! Sorry for the excitement. Its just that I'm...well..excited!

You do know... thats its Scotland... who are worse than... Ireland.

 

[Plasma]

i don't think we need any drying time... just play, at least the pitch isn't wet.

Hey, look at this way, if it rains, there can't be another upset

 

[zMario]

I hope this cricinfo commentator can tell us the teams of the Pakistani football teams,

I'm far more interested in that than this match.

Cmon Asiffff get that ball inn

thats some positive thinking you got there man.
but i would actually want to see the match. Asif and Akthar seem anxious

i think they stoped playing. they might be back now that the rain has stoped.

 

[zMario]

No rain, but no sun either

and the umpires are on the fielddd

 

[Easa]

come on, get some play in

 

[Usman Chadda]

Whats the betting that the rain comes back now?

 

[zMario]

Somebody owes me $100....

But I think he ran away

 

[zMario]

And he is also required to fly at his expense to Pakistan, in a maid's suit

However, I will pick him up from Islamabad airport

But he has to arrive in a maid's suit, or else he has to pay me $1000.

Ohhh darkmoon, where are youuuu

 

[Usman Chadda]

Why has there been no play yet? I thought the rain stopped...

 

[Plasma]

1:20pm local time, 12:20pm GMT - Rain has stopped. Umbrellas being poked into the ground for 'inspection' purpose. Meanwhile, Windies keeping a check on England while India and South Africa curse the rain.
Also, its a Ferrari one-two after 12 laps in the French GP.
They should start in about 20 or so minutes given that it doesn't rain again. Inshallah it will start soon.

 

[Easa]

Why has there been no play yet? I thought the rain stopped...

They're inspecting the ground as we speak.. seems to be a wet outfield

 

[ZM]

if they start at around 2 then they can get a 30over game in hopefully.
Would be nice if afridi and nazir opened given the shorter form of the game

 

[Plasma]

Covers are slowly being taken off as Nasim Ashraf, chairman PCB, makes a surprise appearance and chats to the players.
W00t they might be starting soon!!

 

[Usman Chadda]

Covers being taken off. Dont keep your hopes up folks, it might start raining again

 

[zMario]

wth is DNA doing there?! He was in Islamabad 2 days ago!

 

[zMario]

Dream come true?

But they won't put Salman down the order...

Not quite since we can only enjoy the excitement of cricinfo

that was what i was thinking too... if afridi and Nazir open then salman will have to skip this match i guess.

He's vice captain, they won't do that

 

[ZM]

i doubt they'd drop salman in his first potential match as VC

 

[ZM]

beat me to it Mario

 

[ZM]

what the!
match abandoned
thats quite a shock, i thought everything was going well

 

[Plasma]

1:37pm local time, 12:37pm GMT - I'm afraid I have bad news. The match has been abandoned without a ball being bowled. Pity.

 

[Plasma]

this is wack, how can they abandone the match? Rain stoped and everything!!

 

[Usman Chadda]

Err...I thought the covers were coming off?!

 

[ZM]

Also the match was scheduled to finish at 6:30 which could probably be extended til 7:30!
so it isnt as if they didnt have enough time to dry the outfield!

 

[Muzy]

cricinfo is saying match abondoned

 

[zMario]

cricinfo is saying match abondoned

Because it is

 

[Easa]

Thats a shame.

 

[Pak_Pace]

anyway for ppl who were wondering which channel the match was going to be on...there are no cameras in the ground so there couldnt be any live coverage, thats what it said on cricinfo...

 

[corneredtiger92]

3 games all over the great britain - all affected by the great british weather!

 

[iZeeshan]

Shame, really a shame that the match won't happen. Was really looking forward to it.

 

[Sheikh]

I hope the Pak-India match is rained off too and we return home without playing a game. Maybe that will convince the board that these random pajama games are a waste of time.

 

[darkmoon459]

Somebody owes me $100....

But I think he ran away

NO i am here,just went away to get some sleep ,and "Z" guess what match is abandoned and so i guess the "bet" is off too because when there is no game there will be no stream ,but if you like we can keep the same bet for Pak vs India.
Remember the bet is that "when the match starts the site i posted will stream the match>
Are you still up for it if so then its ON.

Ohhh darkmoon, where are youuuu

hell the bet is $100 not $1000 ,man what are you trying to do make some pocket money for the whole year.

 

[Nakhuda]

Over the weekend its been raining throughout Scotland so the chances of this match even beginning were remote in the extreme!.I was in Edinburgh at 9 am and is was pelting down so was certain that they'd call the whole thing off!.Raining very hard in Glasgow as i speak and the forecast isn't promising at all for Tuesday either!.They should call the match off right now,at best it'll be an overs reduced match probably 20-20 or something if we're lucky!

Not really. Because in the World Cup Final, there were heaps of posts even before the match started.
