Group E - England, India, South Africa, West Indies

Not much activity out there reminds me of that Warwickshire FP trophy game where they were tied on DL but needed to win to go through, it was't raining but they never got the game on

 

[Sutty]

Covers on their way off. Now do it quickly before we get more rain.

 

[S Chanderpaul]

9 over game target is 80

 

[grecian]

Well, as it does seem to be following the weather around here earlier today, I should say it's not rained since the big storm

 

[superkingdave]

9 overs to chase 80

 

[GIMH]

Hmmm - not sure that Broad, Anderson or Sidebottom would agree with that. Nor would I if they got crocked sliding all over the Oval tonight.

Can't say I agree with myself but there you go

Hearing that there will be 9 overs, the target is 80.

 

[Scaly piscine]

Why is it that they'll play through pretty heavy rain, but they won't restart unless it's dry?

Anyway as expected DL target hugely favours the team batting second.

 

[Scaly piscine]

Is it seriously restarting at 8.40?!?

 

[Uppercut]

Strange target- going at 8.9 an over for nine overs as opposed to 8.05 an over for twenty.

 

[GIMH]

Sky should employ Pickup for D/L explanations, always a cluster**** listening to them trying to get their heads round it

 

[superkingdave]

Athers giving Ward some sh*t for being thick.

 

[wpdavid]

9 overs for WI to score 80

EDIT
Bah - CW >>>> TMS

 

[King Pietersen]

Aye, what he was saying was incredibly simple as well. Not sure how Ward couldn't understand him =/

 

[superkingdave]

Is it seriously restarting at 8.40?!?

Nah 8:25...the 840 malarkey was the cutoff for a 5 over game

methinks they are deliberately confusing issues cos they do not like the system, not cos they do not understand it.

 

[Scaly piscine]

Cricinfo being ****e then. Still too slow.

 

[GIMH]

What happens if it's a D/L tie? Would they then go on to do the super over

 

[GIMH]

Cricinfo being ****e then. Still too slow.

Yep, they should be out there now

 

[Smith]

eng to win by 14 runs

 

[Adamc]

Yeah.

In the event of a tied match in the Group stage or Super Eight Series the teams shall compete in a one over per side eliminator to determine the winner. If weather conditions prevent the one over eliminator from being completed, the result will be a tie and the points allocated accordingly.
