The pitch boss man said it was fine. Which means they were both just poo poo.

I'm seeing predictions of all day rain from various sources. The worst outcome might be approaching.

Why is it played in Birmingham anyway? Spiritual home of ODI cricket?

You'd think they'd have a reserve day for the final at least though

You might, but the Champions Trophy has been shared before (though then they did have a reserve day, and that was the second attempt). Since England are playing New Zealand in a T20I on Tuesday it might be pushing it a bit to fit another (attempt at) an ODI in tomorrow.

Pieterson is going bananas against Yorkshire. 106 ball century on his first game back from injury.

I can't even remember what he did to get dropped, feels like an age ago.

He didnt want to play ODI's because he was worried about getting injured due to the sheer number and lack of time between games. Then he was told he had to retire from everything or nothing. Then he played in a pointless ODI and bruised a bone in his leg and couldnt play cricket for months RIPS. Also lol at the players pulling the covers back on themselves.

Looks like play will start in 20mins or so, for 25 overs apiece in the champions 'trophy'.

He's not dropped atm, just coming back from injury. When he did get dropped it was for texting South Africa team members saying Strauss is a oval office or something, also allegedly calling James Taylor (the batsman not the singer) poo poo in front of everyone, which an unnamed team member thought was a bit of a dickhead thing to do, and it all kicked off big style.

I've bitched about this in the past, but it stopped raining around 2.15 in Birmingham, the umpires then waited 45 minutes to even inspect the pitch, then said the game would start 45 minutes later. On a day where theres showers off and on, spending an hour and a half wasting time makes them look like idiots. And dont even get me started on the 'If they're already playing they'll stay out in rain that they wouldnt start a match in' stuff.

From the looks of the radar this could be the last proper rain they get, but they're running out of time.

Funny that if they'd played this at Old Trafford of all places there'd probably have been a full game.

AHAHAH YOU COULDNT MAKE IT UP! Umpires have decided we're playing a 20/20, but with the players ready to go now, they reckon its time for a spot to eat and the game will begin at 4.20.

Cut off times are so stupid. Bollocks to playing conditions, it's just about the longest day of the year, the sun doesn't set until about 21:30 so it wouldn't really be a day/night game. Yeah it'd be a bit of an inconvenience for the people at the ground who are using public transport, but it's an inconvenience to me as well because it's Sunday and there's nothing else to watch on tv.

I'm looking forward to Trott slogging a 13 ball 50. Well thats got to be that then. No way will we get a 20 over a side game now with the rain back. Wait, the rains gone again. The gently caress is going on? serious gaylord fucked around with this message at 16:49 on Jun 23, 2013 |
