It's gonna be a wash out guys

10km away from the ground - looking miserable

Not even going to bother heading to the ground for now - going sight seeing :yk
 
Make some alternative plans for today guys, doubt there'll any play.
 
I agree with [MENTION=53290]Markhor[/MENTION], not likely that there will be a game in and just look to make other plans.
 
[MENTION=3474]TalhaSyed[/MENTION] how long did it take you to go from Scotland to Dublin :)) A shame there won't be any game. [MENTION=136108]Donal Cozzie[/MENTION] won't be so dissapointed :))
 
There will be no game, weather is awful and it's not getting any better today.
 
Cricinfo Update

10.35am The rain is still falling here at Malahide, it has started to get a bit brighter but the water just keeps coming down from the sky. With more rain on the way it really doesn't look good for the game today. The fact that the groundstaff have started dismantling the advertising hoardings shows you what they think!

The blotter is being taken around the outfield but it seems doesn't seem to able to do much in this deluge.
 
Do Pakistan lose points because of the potential wash out ?
 
Cricinfo Update

11:15am Its still hammering down here I'm afraid, the Pakistan players still haven't come to the ground and it wouldn't surprise me if the Umpires decide to have an early lunch here. The only action that we have seen so far is when the blotter almost took out former Ireland spin bowler Kyle McCallan, as he ran across the outfield and into the hospitality tent. So the wait goes on….

Next update 12:30PM
 
Tears of joy in my eyes reading this Cricinfo Update

11:45am Well, well, well this could be interesting….. THE RAIN HAS STOPPED. No seriously it has. The real question is whether its going to come back again. Talking to the groundstaff here it might take a couple of hours for the ground to dry enough for the Umpires to have a look. There is a strong breeze blowing across the ground, although whether it will blow in another rain shower in or not, who's to say?

There is a smattering of Pakistan fans who have drifted into the ground, to fit in a twenty over game you would expect us to be starting at around 4pm. Lets hope that we can get something going today…

PAK shouldn't play at all. I don't think the drainage is that good. May be considering Ireland, PAK might agree for a 20 overs game & take it easy; but these are seriously risky conditions for players.
 
12:20pm Just when we all started to get optimistic, here comes the rain again. It seems crazy because there is lots of blue sky in the distance, just this big cloud over the ground. Although looking at the weather forecast we should have some thunder and lightning in the next couple of hours too. Welcome to Cricket in Ireland!
The blotter is still going up and down on the outfield, although the busiest people seem to be the guys selling food in the burger vans. Not a single person at the ice-cream van. That might be the only place we see a "99" from today….
 
4:32 pm cut off to decide whether can have a play today or not for 20-20 atleast... signs look good now, as the clouds are moving away for blue skies, but still windy out there..
 
I'm at the venue come from England this morning and flying back tonight . It's not raining and clear skies with sun and a bit of wind . Potentially there could still be a game . Hope there is no more rain .

Latest update is next inspection at 2:20 and if there's no more rain play will start at 3:00. The match will be reduced to a 31 over game.
 
Not going to help Pakistan's ranking.

The way Pakistan pummelled Ireland in the last match its hard to make a comeback.

Irish TV/Cricket-Ireland Youtube Channel. Word from the middle is that they are hoping to get some play in about an hour

cricinfo bro

1:40pm We have some news from the Umpires, as long as we don't have anymore rain, they are going to inspect again 2:20pm. If everything is ok then we will be starting at 3pm, we would have enough time to get in a 31 over game.
The outfield does seem quite wet out there so it seems like there is going to be a fair amount of drying to be done before they can think about playing. The cut off time for a 20 over game is 4:32pm. Which is still over 3 hours away.

No I'm outside, I know about the 2.20 inspection.

What's the status of rain and covers now? Will they still be able to start at 3 Pm?

Most of the Covers are off. Sky is mostly blue and no rain. Oh all the covers are coming off now. No Blotters in sight either.

I hope we get a game for your sake :))) love the passion mate, Qalandar in bed with eyes close but mind wide away checking every 5 mins to see if the rain has dissappeared
 
No Play anywhere.

PAK VS IRE Match delayed due to rain
SA VS NZ Match Stopped due to rain
IND VS WI Day 3 delayed due to wet outfield
 
This thread just makes me really happy despite game almost called off. Its like meeting people who are crazier if not as crazy as you and suddenly you dont feel bad about yourself.

I had a paper due but I submitted it asap and slept very early so I could wake up super early and catch the game . It felt weird to set alarm that early for a game even ridiculous as per my mom.

Sat through rain for 4 hours now and guilt started to kick in......... Should have slept in....Now you are gonna be sluggish all day.....was it even worth it.....


But seeing all you guys here, I feel at Home!( home of pak cricket and fanatics that adore it)

THANK YOU GUYS!
 
New Cricinfo Update

2:15pm These pesky little rain showers keep rolling through, its not raining at the minute and the Umpires are going to inspect again at 3:00pm. So it means that if we finally get any play today the overs are going to be reduced again. Maybe a 25 over a side blast?
