***Official*** South Africa in Sri Lanka 2014

[Maximas]

If weather steals this from us I'll be real pissed, get Duminy and it will make it really tough, carn phatty

 

[cnerd123]

Is Duminy closing in on the record for most balls faced in a match for the least amount of runs scored?

 

[auditor]

lousy game

 

[cnerd123]

Mahela is so good at slip, just saw those replays. Such a natural slip fielder.

Weather conspiring against the Lankans tho.

 

[Maximas]

The groundsman look like regular spectators

 

[kykweer.proteas]

Gosh even Cricinfo commentary has me on edge.

4.03 pm The rain has picked up now. It really is coming down now, and they have to go off



4.07 pm The stumps are being put back, that shower has passed

:,(

4.08 pm But wait, the covers are returning. The rain has returned

:/...

 

[Maximas]

I can't handle this, packing it in for an early night

His strike rates have been incredible in this game. 5.17 in the first innings, 2.43 in the second.

4.21 pm Ridiculousness. It is the groundstaff who run on with the covers again, as the rain returns. It is reasonably hard now. Sri Lanka are looking annoyed, understandably
4.20 pm Sri Lanka race back on to the field. It is a bit dark
4.17 pm The covers are coming off. Honest
4.15 pm Nothing more than drizzle, says Andrew Fernando, but enough to prevent anything from being removed. And another dark cloud is about to blow over
4.10 pm More covers are coming on now
4.08 pm But wait, the covers are returning. The rain has returned
4.07 pm The stumps are being put back, that shower has passed
4.03 pm The rain has picked up now. It really is coming down now, and they have to go off

 

[smash84]

wow....SL will feel robbed if the rain ends play for the day

 

[kingkallis]

haha! This is some serious teasing by rain. Must be very annoying for the Lankans.

 

[rza]

Is the game over at 6pm or 6:30pm?

 

[Migara]

You don't need rain dances in SL. It simply rains.

 

[Briony]

They can play for thirty minutes after the scheduled stumps time.

 

[kykweer.proteas]

I am worried about the light, is the conditions still safe to bat in?

 

[hendrix]

Come on fatty

 

[Stapel]

They can play for thirty minutes after the scheduled stumps time.

Afaik, only when overs are lost. Considering the extreme over rate, hardly any overs have been lost. So, 9 overs to go, I guess.

 

[viriya]

Just woke up to find that SL might not have enough time

 

[King Pietersen]

Sri Lanka can claim the extra half an hour if they think it'll allow them to wrap up the game can't they?

Not on day 5, surely?
