arghhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. Rain......

 

[Faisalabadimunda]

iF THis kind of weather occurs during the T20 world cup... Then the whole tourny will be Messed.

 

[chui_kadoo]

I wonder If they will change the opening combo for next game if the match gets cancelled.

 

[Square Drive]

GO AWAY rain!

I guess If we do get a 20 over game then Afridi should just come in next.

Not looking good then. only 1 hour and half left before cut off time

 

[iZeeshan]

Can't believe the T20 WC is gonna be in Lanka during rain season

What a waste.

 

[straightdrive1]

I hope that the match is called off.

Because Pak won't be able to win this match.

 

[Ahson8]

Match should be called off, I hope

 

[talha3]

7.10pm Still drizzling

So far so good.

 

[Square Drive]

x-man, Any updates?

 

[waqar goraya]

7.25pm The drizzle seems to have stopped, but there isn't much activity among the ground staff

 

[zains_rulez]

I think the whole series will be wasted ....

 

[chui_kadoo]

Man I want to see a game

 

[ads101]

dunno why people want the match cancelled. Let's see pakistan try and win this one from a losing position. And if Sri Lanka win if it's not called off, then they deserve it, rather let them have the win than being saved by the rain.

I want to see a match. Win or lose.

 

[saeedhk]

No school tomorrow, so can wait.

[Faisalabadimunda]

rain stopped and no more rain forecast...

 

[Poison]

Lol 2 wickets down and 3 overs bowled and people think the game is a lost cause?

 

[Runner Up]

Some time Rain is good for us. Better than embarrassment.

 

[doctordamor]

come on start raining again plz

 

[chui_kadoo]

Has the rain stopped? Are the covers coming off? Please rain stay away

 

[chui_kadoo]

rain stopped and no more rain forecast...

I hope that is the case I really do

Plenty of time for Pakistan to pull things back if they wanted.

6 overs gone. And also, the match is going to be reduced by a LOT of overs with more interruptions likely

 

[Legend Killer]

People hoping for a washout have a pathetic attiude, there is no reason why we can't still win this match

 

[chui_kadoo]

If we can get 120+ in 20 overs than we have a great chance with our bowlers

 

[chui_kadoo]

+1 exactly. Should always remain positive

 

[waqar goraya]

covers are slowly coming off

 

[truthseer]

7.40pm Not for the first time since play stopped at 4.13, the covers are slowly coming off. Another shower, I am afraid, could put an end to this. Always feel for the ground staff when that happens

 

[talha3]

2 wickets down, 6 overs bowled. If we get a match it will be close to a t20.which means most of the powerplay has passed and we've wasted 6 overs. We can't even make that up as only umar and afridi can really attack. DL won't favour us much because we've already lost 2 wickets.

Still think it's not a lost cause?

 

[chui_kadoo]

Good news. I hope we can get underway within the hour

If it becomes a T20 we're going to win ... mark the words.

I've given reasons in the post above. If overs weren't reduced and we could continue with a full game, I would definitely want the game to continue. But the way it is atm, SL get a massive unfair advantage.

Raining ageeeen

 

[iZeeshan]

Hope Asad and Umar have solid games.

Don't much for Misbah - just want to win.

 

[saeedhk]

Really?

Fair enough if you believe that.

SL will definitely have the advantage but if its reduced to a 20 over game and we get even 115, i can see our bowlers defending it on this pitch

[Faisalabadimunda]

[x-man]

[chui_kadoo]

Call it off

Why?

 

[truthseer]

Anyone for Misbah and Shafiq scoring 37 ball centuries and taking Pakistan to an unassailable 252/2 in 20 overs?

 

[Ahson8]

Why?

I have an exam tomorrow
Plus this isn't a T20 team

 

[PakFan2010]

Match will go on; Sri Lankan board can't afford to give refunds.

Dont you want to see a quick fire 50 from lala.

 

[saeed-sohail]

Latest anyone?

 

[Ahson8]

No way man
I won't be able to study then

 

[chui_kadoo]

lol. I reckon either way you should stay away from the TV and revise hard as you can and forget about the cricket

 

[LegendAli]

gee what a selfish fellow, would love for thousands to miss a game, just so he could study.

heheh not even Ahsan, his name is Ahson, first time ever I'm hearing this name, maybe it is good you study, "ahson".

 

[saeed-sohail]

20 ball 50 coming from YK.

 

[Amjid Javed]

So if this become a 20 over affair we are screwed! espcially due to fact we have scored next to no runs in 6 overs, Misbah is out in the middle with asad both of whom are pretty slow scorers!

I wont be shedding tears if games called off!

 

[Legend Killer]

well looking at the the way YK has been going a 50 ball 20 is more likely

 

[Faisalabadimunda]

its always hard to stay away from the tv when pakistan are playing

True, We"ve already wasted 6 overs..

I don't get why you guys can't do two things at once, study and watch the match at the same time. thats what i do

 

[saeed-sohail]

Holland v Germany will be overshadowed by YK today.

 

[chui_kadoo]

Holland v Germany will be overshadowed by YK today.

The portugal game should be good as well

 

[truthseer]

I prepared for my board mock paper while watching India vs Pakistan (Asia cup). In hindsight, might as well have not watched

 

[LegendAli]

be quiet friends! I want cricket, not soccer!

 

[chui_kadoo]

I take your point. If I was you study while Misbah is on strike. Just multitask.

 

[chui_kadoo]

I want both
