Would be pretty horrible if this is a rain affected match. West Indies made it through last time (to the semis) because they got a prank D/L revised target against England.

There's the rain, hopefully no overs will be lost.

grecian · 24-09-2012, 08:25 AM

God this tournament has been cursed whenever a match looks being decent it rains.

stumpski · 24-09-2012, 08:31 AM

If there's no further play Australia and West Indies go through, I take it? Do the scores in an abandoned match count towards net run-rate?

stumpski · 24-09-2012, 08:39 AM

Covers coming off - if we get a prompt restart no overs will be lost.

stumpski · 24-09-2012, 08:55 AM

And back on. Colombo's weather very much like England's has been over the last 24 hours.

What's Brumbeh's stance on Narine?

stumpski · 24-09-2012, 09:46 AM

77-4 in the 13th, not abysmal but surely not enough either (match reduced to 19 overs, WI will probably have to make 4 or 5 more). Ireland seem to have some nice looking women supporting them (a few WAGs, perhaps?) and they enjoyed that 6 over long-leg by O'Brien.

Rankin missing with a gastric illness is a big loss; he may have played his last game for Ireland.

Someone has to tell Bumble to stop with this "wallop" thing. I know he loves his irritating gimmicky catchphrases but this is just ridiculous.

stumpski · 24-09-2012, 10:04 AM

Won't be a problem while England are batting though.

That is incredible if so.

How am I supposed to know what you heard ****?

So, we are deprived of a Gayle innings. Too bad!

Pretty sure he dislikes him, because he didn't get to shout "waloooop" when he was bowling in the IPL.

The last 4 times I can recall him batting for Ireland he got: 0 (1), 0 (2), 0 (1) and 0 (1)

A golden duck against England in the World Cup, a second ball duck against Ireland at Belfast in June, a golden duck against Australia the other day and a golden duck against West Indies today.
