Has the rain completely stopped? Are there clouds in the sky. Has it stopped for good? Raghav?

It looks like it's stopped for good (just light cloud now). The commentators are speculating about a 35 over game.

Rain has stopped completely...weather looks brighter than before. There are some blue clouds towards a corner part of the sky....but I think we will not see rain again today. The umpires just came to middle and inspecting the pitch...we will have match shortly

Are you a kiwi BeeGee? I know you support NZ - but just wondered if you are an ex-pat?

Yeah, I'm a Kiwi living in the USA.

In other news... they've put the covers back on the pitch. I'm not sure why. The umpires are out inspecting the ground.

This doesn't look good. All the covers are coming back onto the ground.

 

[Raghav]

Covers are back on the pitch.. and there is some delay with some puddles of water on the ground.. ground staff is doing its best

 

[Hurricane]

Would rather play tomorrow than have a 25 over game today.

 

[Hurricane]

But why put the covers back on the pitch if it is just because of puddles?

 

[BeeGee]

I'm guessing we're not going to get a game today, so I'm off to bed. Night all!

 

[Himannv]

35 overs per team. Lets get at it already!!!

Strongly agree.

Latest from Cricinfo...

4.50 pm: The covers are on. No rain yet. Ten Sports' Mike Haysman is confident that we might get in a 35-over game. We will have to wait and see how that pans out. And the cut-off time is 8:17 pm. If there is no play today, there will be a fresh toss tomorrow.

and guess what



Its better not to make such kind of statements now...BTW next match b/n INDIA and Sl will be a matter of self-pride....

If there is no play today, there will be a fresh toss tomorrow.

Presumably that also means we can reconsider our XI?

I wouldn't since the forecast for tomorrow is worse than today. I also reckon 35 overs will likely suit NZ more than SL, especially batting first. A game tomorrow would mean a fresh toss.

 

[Zinzan]

Presumably that also means we can reconsider our XI?

You'd think so

 

[Himannv]

Looks like no game today. Would have been more than happy with a 35 over game but it was not to be. Ah well, fresh toss tomorrow is the news.

 

[Raghav]

I am leaving the ground for now.. I do not think we will have game today. Will be back tomorrow to the ground if I can use this ticket if there is no game today
