***Official*** South Africa in India 2015

[Burner]

So it's washed out, no match confirmed?

They'll turn up to the ground everyday and play what little they can, but like AZH says, it's unlikely we'll see much, if any.

 

[honestbharani]

if it rains for the next 2 days, I would rather they play an ODI or T20I on the last day than complete this test. It would make much more sense for those who turn up to watch too.

It doesn't work like that.

 

[honestbharani]

I know it doesn't, I am just saying it makes more sense. Trust me, I know what I am talking about. We had a game that was rained off on all but two days in Chennai too, against NZ in 1994. It was so pointless to watch both teams go through the motions on day 5 after no play was possible on days 2, 3 and 4.

 

[Shri]

Trust me, I know what I am talking about.

No you don't. You could say the same about me but I would agree, unlike you.

 

[weldone]

ODIs and T20s can't and shouldn't take place at one day's notice.

 

[weldone]

Hey Vijay, you're batting well in this match. How will you adjust if after 3 days you find out that you're about to play a T20?

Hello AB, you have played a good knock in your 100th test, oops sorry 39th T20.

 

[honestbharani]

No you don't. You could say the same about me but I would agree, unlike you.

Yep, you are very unlike me. I actually have sense.

 

[honestbharani]

ODIs and T20s can't and shouldn't take place at one day's notice.

Need not be an international. Can be an exhibition game. Would still make it more competitive than playing out 1 day of a 5 day game with absolutely zero possibility of a result.

It doesn't work like that.

They played an exhibition odi when four days of the game was washed out between India and Sri Lanka.

 

[Pratters]

No it wasn't

They replays show the ball was touching the ground.

 

[CricAddict]

Yes, only spin was allowed in that game. I think it was a 30 overs game or so and Kanitkar hit a fifty.

This really really sucks. We could be killed the series before Steyn came back.

Have some pride ffs, we have been kicking their ass.

 

[OverratedSanity]

Huh? What's pride got to do with what I said?

 

[Daemon]

You said 'we could be killed'. I think you meant 'we could have killed'?

 

[harsh.ag]

Huh? What's pride got to do with what I said?

Well, thinking we're going to have trouble finishing the series off in the next test with Steyn back.
