Going to be a washout isn't it. Stupid tournament ruined by rain.

 

[Cubiscus]

We cop a pretty severe sanction every 4 years when the ICC forces us to let the English team and their supporters into the country.

Someone has to create some atmosphere

Odds for completed match are 1.36 on betfair exchange that is rather high considering you have 2 days to complete game

 

[slippy888]

Neither team can get over excited over a shared trophy surely

 

[slippy888]

Just need 5 overs a side

Has it started raining already?

 

[Adders]

I'm 3.5 hrs from MCG and it's been belting down here all night. Radar shows it's missed Melbourne so far though.

Blue skies with some fluffy white clouds at 9am in Melbourne. Let's see how quick it changes.

England odi series with Australia begins Thursday. I hope this final doesn't mess with their preparations.

The NZ-India T20 series starts on Friday. Did both sides throw their semis to get more prep time in?

England has already lost the women's Rugby Union WC final and a men's Rugby League WC semifinal this weekend. Can they get the trifecta?

 

[White Ball]

Never thought I would say this as an Indian fan but I am supporting Pakistan tomorrow for 2 reasons.

1.We would have beaten the eventual champions
3. Pakistan winning maybe what it takes for us to finally get our own house in order and make the drastic changes we need to our T20 side

 

[Victor Ian]

WC is the only way we get to see Pakistan play India nowadays but those selfish English ***** had to put themselves first. That's deplorable.

 

[Victor Ian]

10:30 update. Tiny patches of blue sky. Grey clouds everywhere. Dark grey moving in.

 

[slippy888]

I am not liking what i am hearing from indian selectors like they want to hear out the players, like the players opinion should not count if they keep under performing.

You do know hardly anyone cares about cricket in the UK, you probable wont even hear about this world cup win from England within a month. Do you really want Pakistan to win and watch there fans and media taunt India cricket for a long time.

Yes. Yes I do. It would be marvelous.

 

[Fuller Pilch]

It would be marvelous.

My brain read this in a Richie Benaud accent.

 

[Burgey]

They look like the two mates who have always left their wallet at home when it’s their turn to shout
