TMS doing the Bangladesh vs India game, arseholes.

Players go off for bad light.

 

[Tom Halsey]

According to Cricinfo, it goes to the reserve day if they are to go off now, though.

No point. Ireland have taken the light.

 

[Goughy]

Brilliant. Off and stay off

With both teams having faced 20 overs? I don't think so.

Anyhow, par D/L score at this stage is 69.

Cricinfo has been known to get it wrong before, I suppose.

 

[Turbinator]

Does this mean Ireland have won and Pakistan are out of it!?!

Now India losing doesn't feel so bad!

4.15pm Because we have completed 20 overs, there will be no coming back tomorrow. The game will have to be finished today, and if there is no more play then Ireland will win the match as they are ahead on D/L. The question has to be, why on earth did Inzamam not turn to his spinners when it became clear that the light was fading and he was behind?

The rain might relent but the light is poor and unless that gets better there will be no more cricket. The Irish crowd are celebrating, but they would celebrate the grass growing, so don't read too much into that. My wife is also celebrating as she wants me to pick up some food on my way home. She'll have to wait a while yet.


The umpires consult ... and the batsmen are off faster than Peter Parker when the cakeshop opens. If there is no more play then Ireland will win on D/L. It's dark and it's raining ... and unless something changes, Pakistan are on their way out.

Heh, about an over before they went off, they had this to say: "Ireland are ahead on D/L, but they will come back tomorrow if they go off now."

Ah well, that clears that up.

Quite correct. From the playing conditions:

12.1.3 Every effort will be made to complete the match on the scheduled day with any necessary reduction in overs taking place and only if the minimum number of overs necessary to constitute a match cannot be bowled on the scheduled day will the match be completed on the reserve day.

First Bangladesh and now Ireland.

why not? pakistan came into this world cup a seriously weakened side(although a loss against ireland would still be shocking) while india was supposed to be at full-strength, well prepared and ready for this...it's not at all the same....

 

[no1_gangsta_786]

Pakistan played like they were the minnow in this match. All credit goes to the Ireland team for the way they have played. Throughly disappointed with Pakistan's performance...not looking forward to going to school on Monday.

 

[chris.hinton]

Ireland are excellent

 

[Turbinator]

I see the covers coming off .

 

[Shaggy Alfresco]

Are we going to see a revised target?

 

[Scaly piscine]

Has it actually got any brighter?
