I reckon they'll come back on about 3.30pm(ish) but go off later again for rain after 4pm. There's a reserve day tomorrow but I'd rather get this match done today. That's lot of overs/hours lost to restrict us to only 20 overs. Think there'll be enough adequate weather left in the day to get enough overs in I hope. 148 in 20 is very doable though even with a wet outfield. Essentially becomes a T20 match for India and they regularly approach a score of 200.
David Guiza Posted 9 July 2019 Posted 9 July 2019 @KrefelderFox666 @StanSP How do the powerplays work once DL comes into force? As you say you'd back India to score at least 7+ an over for the T20, but a few slow overs at the start similar to NZ today and it soon rises, I guess.
purpleronnie Posted 9 July 2019 Posted 9 July 2019 It's amazing really that cricket of all sports that lasts so long and is completely reliant on the weather originated here.

Depends how many overs are left to be played from start of the innings. If it is 20 overs, I'd presume they'd go with how T20 games go it's 0-6 overs as no more than 2 fielders outside circle then from 6-20 it'll be no more than 4 or 5 fielders outside. Anything beyond 20 overs and I'm not sure how it'll be split between powerplays.
EastAnglianFox Posted 9 July 2019 Posted 9 July 2019 Really hope they don't turn this into a 20/20 finish just to complete it today. It's a 50 over World Cup, come back tomorrow and finish it properly.

They've got til 8pm + bit extra if umpires decide a result can be determined.

The weather and other factors of luck should not be influencing games this much, especially at a World Championship/Cup level. I heard that there's a good chance that the England v Aussie SF might be washed out on both Thursday and the reserve day on Friday. In which case Australia advance to the final And if the final is washed out on both days then the trophy is shared? In the year 2019 you'd think there must be a better way...

Chiltern Fox Posted 9 July 2019 Posted 9 July 2019 This is a fcking joke. Someone is gonna get robbed due to this cr8p weather and even crapper scheduling. Never have the cwc here again.
StanSP Posted 9 July 2019 Author Posted 9 July 2019 Looks like it'll be moved to tomorrow given how the weather is panning out and the fact it's been raining since 2pm. Play has to start by 6.35pm for a 20-over game. But there's more rain forecast later after that. Gonna be a dead atmosphere tomorrow. Can't imagine there'll be many people there with having to change plans at such short notice (another reason why organisers would want it finished today).

If same happens on Thurs/Fri for Eng vs Aus, then Australia go through by same virtue. But that's unlikely as no rain forecast

Darren Gough was talking about it on TalkSport yesterday and they gave the impression it could be washed out both days Hopefully they were just discussing the worst case scenario and it goes ahead as planned

Don't like its inaccuracy! I was recommended ventusky.com by a friend recently. Quite reliable!
Chiltern Fox Posted 9 July 2019 Posted 9 July 2019 I'm happier that india will have 50 full overs to chase whatever nz get. It could still be close if the ball zips about in morning. I'm sweating my balls off in london right now. Semis should have been played here at the oval. Got nowt against the north but weather is generally better here. Bast8rds..
Finnegan Posted 9 July 2019 Posted 9 July 2019 Are there rules for who can and can't keep wicket during an innings? I saw Dhoni stub his fingers on the ground earlier, if he needed five minutes to shake it out or even if he just dropped a few and was playing badly, is there any reason Rishabh Pant couldn't take the gloves for a few overs?

Nope. Subs can be made at any time (usually with umpires permission). During India vs Bangladesh last week, Dhoni went off (presumably for a toilet break) and Karthik took over as WK I think temporarily (usual order is Dhoni > Karthik > Pant if all on the pitch). If they're ready to come back on in the middle of any given over though, they have to wait til that over has finished to return.

Just took a knee and did the bizzo. Luckily I never needed a no2, or I'd have to have taken a Peter crouch

Voll Blau Posted 10 July 2019 Posted 10 July 2019 Can't see NZ adding many more. Imagine having to go out at 10.30 in the morning and just try and go big against India's attack without having your eye in.
Finnegan Posted 10 July 2019 Posted 10 July 2019 If it rains solidly for a fortnight, do India win the WC because they topped the group?
