It is what it is, we've had some luck to win a couple of World Cups, but you kinda need it, if we go out of this one, it happens.

We also got screwed over by D/L once against Windies wasn't it? It's the nature of this sort of thing. Oh and yeah if you have super-overs you probably should have bowl-outs, but don't think you should have either in group stages TBH.

tennis was suspended after the 1st set btw

SA famously got screwed over by D/L (or its predecessor) against England.

It does look clearer overhead. It feels brighter.

This game is happening now

Funny if England loses now

Happened in 2009 when we were at home and I think another time too?

Good toss to win for Namibia

 

[Socerer 01]

finally a toss

 

[GIMH]

Curran for Jacks, Jordan for Wood

 

[kevinw]

Better for Scotland for England to bat first. Chances are the game will last 22 overs, which means rain could be more of a risk. Had Namibia batted first, England could feasibly have chased it in 6 overs had the weather worsened.

 

[Fuller Pilch]

Cricket over breakfast. Nice.

Well done to the ground staff.

 

[AndyZaltzHair]

Dont know why would you drop wood against associates

 

[kevinw]

Curran for Jacks, Jordan for Wood

Probably fair enough, bowlers are more useful than batters here, especially with Livingstone at six.

 

[AndyZaltzHair]

Also wood has potential to chinese cut fours

Agree. Unless it is a knockout, ties are fine.

If Namibia bat 6 overs then it's a result isn't it?

 

[AndyZaltzHair]

This is the thing with cricket. Just wasting precious time now. Start the match already

1 over each?
