Yeah if the game is rained out Australia would finish 3rd in the pool based on SL having more wins (this is the first tie breaker not NRR or head to head result), which would mean Australia v South Africa in the QF, and also the added risk of a rained off knockout v a higher seeded team ending in elimination.

There are reserve days for the knockouts though.

Plenty of rain about out west past Mt Wellington but Australia might finish the game before it crosses the Derwent

This would be the ICC-est thing ever. I didn't think they could make the World Cup any more of a farce but here we are.

Nothing can top the 2007 final which ended in the dark, after the umpires insisted that the final overs had to be bowled, even though enough overs had been bowled to constitute a game, and everyone knew this except for the onfield umpires.

I remember that it looked nice and light on TV but at the ground was dark as gently caress

So far this tournament no team has been able to bat a full 50 overs against India. Ireland came the closest with 49. I guess India obviously has a better bowling attack than NZ

Holy poo poo talk about the tail wagging in the Sco/Aus game. Their tail enders are going to score more runs than any of the rest of the team.

There really isn't anything more Australian than Kentucky Fried Chicken, I think, particularly so a green and gold emblazoned bucket upturned on a gentleman or lady's head. Incidentally, Holden is also staggeringly Australian, what with it being iconically Australian and tested in Australian Conditions.
