rain....again

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

It's pelting down here. I am about an hour away from Nassau...and one thing to observe that this system is moving from left to right. Nassau is to the right of me.

how long do you think this will last?

how long do you think this will last?

Roughly 20-30 minutes, after that, there's no more rain on the radar. USA prime time (7pm) is excellent weather-- 79 degrees and sunny, that's when I'll put something on the grill and have a few cold beverages.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

So, we have a restart!

12 Noon.

 

[AndyZaltzHair]

Great restart scheduled and no overs lost. Hopefully no more rain

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

The king is gone

great coverdrive but poor shot two balls later

danger danger. Pak bowling first makes this game exciting

 

[Arachnodouche]

Will love it if the game is rained out.

Yeah didn't have a good feeling about this one. Can see Pak putting one over before they crash out to Canada/Ireland.

Yes, he thinks that this pitch is Chinnasammy...whereas it's England in June.

 

[Arachnodouche]

Can't hold that against Kohli, he's trying to be what we've wanted him to be all this time. Maybe was a tad too early to be playing that but that's the mindset

 

[smash84]

I get the feeling that the Indian batter are making this wicket look a lot easier than it actually is

 

[honestbharani]

I dont think it was a poor shot per se. The ball held in the pitch, dont think it was bowled slower at all. I guess most you can say is he could have had a sighter but as an opener in T20, you gotta go after stuff that is short and wide.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Another one goes. This is not that kind of wicket.

 

[cnerd123]

oh yes this is game on

 

[Daemon]

Its a pretty slow wicket, obvious from both dismissals. Where’s KL when you need him…

 

[AndyZaltzHair]

Good thing Pakistan not dropping catches

 

[honestbharani]

I think its more poor execution than poor planning. Rohit seemed to be in the mood to be careful with balls outside or on off stump but trying to be aggressive with balls into his body. The flick should have gone a lot finer though. Same with Virat. Maybe he could have given himself a sighter given the wicket.

Pak favorites now.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Promotion for Axar. Two lefties in the middle now.

 

[honestbharani]

Cant think of any reason why Axar is out there except it will be the last thing Pak expected.

There is absolutely no plus side to this move IMO.
