11th Match - Pakistan v Sri Lanka

[Burgey]

Will be detrimental for Pakistan's semifinal chances if and when this is rained out. Each of the 8 teams will be expecting to win against SL and Afghanistan.

But it is June and that will be Pakistan's hope.

The England in June meme has become a more enduring legacy to CW from Howe than the (excellent) podcast.

The weather is OK this morning. I'm a, couple of miles from the ground. The forecast isn't great and it rained overnight but is fairly bright now.

It's a bit cloudy here and very humid. Indonesia's burning their forests again so we've got a bit of haze going on. Not ideal conditions for cricket.

How's the weather maximas?

 

[Neil Young]

It's now raining.

It's now raining.

 

[Neil Young]

Yeah.

And it still looks bright...

Hot and humid in Singapore. Who’d have thought?

According to google there's over 90% chance of precipitation for each hour from 10-6 in Bristol. Doubt a ball will be bowled

 

[morgieb]

Yeah if Google is to be believed this looks like a full washout.

Yeah, it's grim here now. Persistent light rain.

 

[Hicheal Michael]

Shame for Pakistan - I can't see Sri Lanka winning another game from here.

 

[nightprowler10]

Sigh...

 

[morgieb]

What's more depressing is that this is the only game today, whereas tomorrow has two. Why can't we swap it?

 

[StephenZA]

Does Bristol count as part of England when its raining?

 

[trundler]

Rain ****ing up Pakistan's chances. Karma.

 

[MW1304]

Forecast is not great for the next week, afraid to say.

 

[mr_mister]

Great. What a joke

 

[Zinzan]

Rain ****ing up Pakistan's chances. Karma.

It's funny, prior to learning rain was forecast, I actually had a feeling SL might upset them. Now we'll never know.

 

[Neil Young]

Bristol is in England at all times, not just when it's raining.

 

[Zinzan]

Shame for SL too, I mean any slight hope they had of turning their WC around is basically gone now, surely.

Pakistan are still in with a shot if they're good enough.
