^ as an addendum, given the good bowling stocks, once Pakistan do sort the batting out, they can surge back up the competitiveness ratings. They are just too cautious up top and frankly s*** in the MO - they need new blood and to scrap those who just don't have it. It'll take a WC cycle or 2 but it is necessary.

At this point, the Florida alligators will turn up to play.
I'm thinking because @SillyCowCorner1 hasnt created a match thread that this game is not happening. He knows something

A match is scheduled, but rain is expected to start in three hours. The concern is whether the ground can adequately drain the water that is already present.I'm thinking because @SillyCowCorner1 hasnt created a match thread that this game is not happening. He knows something

It's 11:41 am, and it seems the game might be getting the ax. Word on the street is that the USA is about to waltz into the Super Eights once the official word drops. Right now, we're clinging to the slim hope of play, but it's starting to look as likely as a snowball's chance in a coffee shop.

CI may not be the designated referee in this game, but it sure has a knack for making calls like it owns the place!
Well they just said the ICC has confirmed the latest a 5 over game can be played starts at 2:16 pm. I'm not staying up another 2 hours waiting for that lol

As much as I want to see this game, a 5 over game would be a shame. Seems a bit like throwing coins in a slot machine. Also it looks like more rain by 2:19.

Cricinfo with biggest troll to pakistan fans by first declaring match called off and then changing it to likely to be called off

There's a big *** cloud hovering over the ground at 2:30PM...
Yeah, why are they dragging it on with hourly umpire inspections...are they just hoping they don't have to refund tickets?
I think any 5 over game is a joke. Might as well just abandon it

The storm over the last few days was a bit unusual. While daily rain this time of year is normal, it usually lasts about 30 minutes, clears up and leaves sunny skies in its wake. Even Hurricanes are typically one day events. This was a 3-4 day storm. High level outdoor sporting events happen all the time throughout Florida.
