[Spintolose]

There we go. End of game!

 

[Flem274*]

what are the ideal rain conditions for those ones where it juices up and seams everywhere?

 

[Member Berry]

India going to get bowled out for 140 odd

santner to destroy india again

This game isn't going to be finished

It's not meant to be raining tomorrow FWIW. Reserve days apply to SF's/F's.

I read somewhere that they have 2 extra hours in hand for this game, so even if we lose some time here it will be quite a while till they start cutting overs. need to go check that, but if true then nothing to worry about yet.

they'll also still try to get 20 overs in the second innings, and if that's not possible we come back tomorrow. so game's not done here.

hope we're not in for a long wait to find out tho. **** you england

 

[mr_mister]

Lol

 

[Flem274*]

have a feeling this is going to be one of those games where we'll never know if the deck was holding a bit because england weather

Chahal has been a complete embarrassment in the field.

Looks like india should just play all their 3 fast bowlers and jadeja. Their wrist spinners look pretty useless

 

[straw man]

**** off rain. Just maddening. It's not even June ffs.

Good for New Zealand then.

I can’t believe how poorly we have batted, 150 dot balls is insane. Just shows you how bad the mindset is.

 

[weldone]

Ahhhh no. Not good, doesn't look like we'll be able to finish our innings.

with 23 balls and 5 wickets remaining DLS should pump up the target - I reckon this will translate to a little less than 150 in 20 overs

 

[Kippax]

Should get back out there. We did a bit of a South Africa 2015 at the toss by not considering a loss of slog overs and then the damp ball to bowl and field with.

 

[trundler]

Ferguson 4-20 (6)
Santner 3-20 (10)
Boult 2-25 (7)
Williamson 1-10 (2.5)

 

[Meridio]

Think the drizzle in the last few overs just quickened the pitch up slightly. We probably want it dry as hell tbh, then bowl horrible anti-cricket cross-seam and slower balls all game.

 

[DriveClub]

Ferguson 4-20 (6)
Santner 3-20 (10)
Boult 2-25 (7)
Williamson 1-10 (2.5)

So bowled out for 75?

 

[Flem274*]

france is looking good. i might have to dump my job and catch a flight

 

[Jezroy]

Yeah so weather doesn’t look like it’ll clear till night time. And weather looks okay tomorrow.

I don’t know how this works. If we start losing overs and NZ don’t get back out to bat, could India theoretically get set a 20 over score? We didn’t lose too many wickets, so I think DLS may be generous to us?

No overs lost until two hours are lost.

 

[Spintolose]

Rather like Saddam Hussein and the Weapons of Mass Destruction. NZ appeared to have believed the constantly repeated propaganda of 'batting first wins the game' rather than actually looking at the truth (poor batting conditions and high possibility of a D/L rain reduced target).

Nah, a bit here and there but nothing drastic. Total of 7 runs probably. Btw Dhoni should have caught the ball on the first of those 2 overthrows.
