The Convicts vs the Fatherland at 3pm.

A veritable six pointer I fancy.

It was. The match just happened to be on when I looked at the tv, I am a neutral and I wouldn't otherwise have searched it out. Pakistan have a strong bowling line-up and should have won this easily and that didn't happen.

Let’s hope Duckworth & Lewis favour us this time.

Although at the moment it’s looking like barely a ball will be bowled.

There will be an inspection at 3:30

Looks like a 1 pointer

That's a shame because obviously we would have thrashed them.



So really we have to beat NZ and SL to be sure.

Have to win both games AND have a better run rate than others on the same points. Potentially three teams here could finish on 7 points.

Looks like English weather has come to Oz with many games being abandoned or affected due to the incessant rain.

There are a few covered stadiums that will need to be used to enjoy uninterrupted games ensuring fair results.

^so much anger.

at rain.

Covered like Astrodome covered? Where?

And what about all those people that already made travel and hotel arrangements from across the world?

NZ SL I was expecting to watch the second half in the Grab on the way to the pub.

The way it's going it will be done by the time I get out of the shower.

I'm just about to start watching Australia vs Ireland.

I feel that I should be supporting Ireland although I've never known an Irishman support England in anything.

What is the best result for England?

Heavy rain and match abandoned without a ball being bowled.

Well the convicts blew a good chance to overtake England's net run rate.
So that's nice.

My first Cricket match in person, Australia v England abandoned!

Crunch match Eng vs NZ starts in ten minutes.

England won the toss and decided to bat.

I was about to say Buttler needs to shit or get off the pot....

I don't know what dance Livingstone was doing when he lost his wicket. Until that point England looked like a possible 200, then it all went pear shaped.
Now NZ need 180 to win, which is possible for them.

Sorry to hear that. That sucks. Do they offer any refunds?

Roll on Friday. I'll be on the sofa, shouting for my new-found Afghan friends. I appreciate that Afghanistan have so far lost every match, but there's always a chance.

Has any of your lot seen soap and know what to do with it apart from eating it?

Looks like the bogan has found his voice again.

India v Bangladesh interrupted by rain. Bangladesh ahead by the DLS method, apparently. I don't pretend to understand it. They need 85 runs from an innings shortened to 9 more overs to win it. They have hit 10 per over with no wickets lost so far. All to play for.

India won in the end.
