Go with the saying "Wife is always right" which in this case is true as well.

haha.. she is down to "I dont know to differentiate different formats. I just think Sachin is the best overall"

Sachin better in tests tho.

 

[King Kane]

What a fizzer.

Nothing worse than the first session of a test series being washed out, the forecast is better for the afternoon so hopefully they get some play today.

She's probably right, I think Sachin is the best Indian batsman overall, he is certainly the best in tests and they count for a lot more than ODIs and T20s.

Sachin was no slouch in ODIs either though, he was a gun in that format too, he didn't play many T20s from memory but who really cares about them.

Sucks for NZ. Barely get any tests and one has already been washed out. Hopefully we still get enough cricket for a result.

The BCCI are trying to nobble the mighty Black Caps by scheduling their tests in the most rain prone areas of India, disappointing but not unexpected.

 

[Bahnz]

Get ****in climate India

 

[Moss]

Heading off to the game at any stage mate? @Moss

Was planning to but decided against it this morning. If we do get some play in the 3rd session will try for it, otherwise Saturday if things improve by then. It’s not raining much today so there’s hope it won’t be a complete washout.

Sachin better in tests tho.

Nope.

 

[sayon basak]

Hope leach gets his fifer.

 

[sayon basak]

Nope.

Why tho? Sachin has much more balanced home and away record.

 

[flibbertyjibber]

So another test in India ruined by rain.

Will the full test be washed away? I've not been following.

Well the bookies have the draw at 1/3 so that says it all

So another test in India ruined by rain.

Well, Kanpur was salvaged by India’s approach. Guess NZ should plan accordingly and treat it almost like a white ball game.

 

[King Kane]

It's stopped raining there according to cricinfo so there is still some hope of some play today if the rain doesn't return.

 

[Thala_0710]

My wife is a huge Sachin fan and I have spent the 10 years trying to unsuccessfully have her accept the fact that Lara is the better test match batsman.

Get her here on CW as well then!

No slouch is an understatement ,he's the most famous and most proflic ODI batter in history !

 

[centurymaker]

These bs rules are ruining cricket.

If there was this light dizzle while play was going on, there would be no stoppage. The whole session could be played out in this. But just because play hasn't started, they won't start until its completely gone for a while. Just dumb ancient rules.

 

[govinda indian fan]

Covers are off according to cricbuzz
