Final.

[Hoggy31]

It doesn't seem right to me to have a World Cup Final with reduced overs, it should be played tomorrow with the full 50 if possible.

Won't it have been great if this final was being played in the Telstra dome?!

ALL MODERN CRICKET STADIUMS SHOULD BE BUILT LIKE THAT IMO !!!!!

 

[Matt79]

Except maybe they could build them so grass would actually survive on the field, as opposed to Telstra Dome....

Yes, I'm sure that Bangladesh and Zimbabwe could afford those.

 

[Matt79]

crap... we've lost two hours of game time now

real cricket ground i.e lords>>>>>>>>souless concrete domes

FFS!

Walk away, sit down, and stare at stupid Sky Sports repeats for an hour! Damn rain!

!@#$%^&*()!!!

I would rather have a full 50 each, but dammit, 3 assignments due over 6 weeks, and I do not have time to pull these all-nighters and lose the next day too...I may have to miss it, if played tomorrow.

F*ck it! AAARRRGGGHHHHH!!

Agreed. Rather not have cricket played under domes tyvm - though I can see it happening in the future.
The question is, is rain an aberration in the WI at this time of year, or usual?

Everyones just left my place now, worst night ffs. Enjoyed the Pakistan England 1992 final though.

But, Direeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.

I think its about time that the game of cricket doesn't get interrupted by rain, so having stadiums with roofs ain't a bad idea and all the main cricketing stadiums should have that facility.

Love the incoherent outpouring of rage, then the reasoned well written response the very next post. Just needed to get it out of your system, eh?

 

[Matt79]

Yeah, given the game isn't actually on, I'm probably going to call it a night soon. If they push it back to tomorrow, I can't pull an all-nighter as I have work on Monday. So I'll miss it, in summary.

DIRE!!!!!!!!!

You said it, Matt. But tbh, I was holding myself back!

(I do feel a little better though)

(but not much)

how do you plan to put roofs on places like lords? or should we just smash them all down and build identikit stadiums everywhere?

Yep. 1/2 hour more for me, and I am off to bed.

Dont think I can watch the game either, if rescheduled to Sunday. I got a Research Project Outline, a Pilot Research Project, and a 10,000 word essay due over the next 39 days - so I cant waste too much time pissing around when I should be studying.

 

[howardj]

I think, on Monday, my productivity is going to be a little less than peak.

 

[Dizzy #4]

Well, this match is turning out to be a damp squid!

This sucks. I feel bad for the fans of the two teams that are going to miss the match if its delayed even more or postponed.
