Final.

I don't want the game to be reduced. Seriously, they can run into the second day for a freaking final.

Update 8:05 PM IST, 2:35 PM GMT, 10:35 AM Local Well, the rain has relented and the covers are coming off. However, it looks like there is no chance of the match starting before 11:15 local time, which would mean we might lose about 75 minutes of playing time or 15 overs. If play starts at 11:15 local time, we would have a 42-43 over a side match. Ponting will definitely not be smiling! We are however not sure of the delay as the ground has a fantastic drainage system, stay tuned for further updates

Sky showing highlights of the semi-finals. Better than chat but not very interesting unless you missed them the first time around. I hope it keeps raining now so they get a full match in tomorrow.

I think this 42-43 over game is not fair on Australia as they elected to bat thinking they were gonna be playing a 50 over game.



So there should be a rule that gives the team that won the toss a chance to change their decision in such circumstances.

Night sets in pretty early at that latitude, PEWS. I don't think they can play beyond 6:30 P.M

i think officially its a shortened game.

but **** a shortened final. I might even not watch if the game is significantly shortened.

That however would not be fair to the opponents!
