10th June - Group A - England v Australia

[morgieb]

Weather radar doesn't look that bad though.

 

[AndyZaltzHair]

ffs get a climate England

and then ****ing learn how to bat when it matters. Bangladesh's semi-final place is at stake here

Now England knows what its like to bat for BD

 

[MW1304]

Every fibre in my being says this should be funny, but it really isn't. Surely there should still be enough play.

Edit: Although it might be worth it for a meltdown or two.

 

[Furball]

Did the English weather consult with the DUP before this downpour

Never

 

[Spikey]

i can't even spot this rain on the weather radar

Yeah I've had a look at the radar and I can't spot any rain in Geelong at all. Very curious

 

[91Jmay]

I would rather this game be washed out than us win from here, the salt on this forum would be absolutely hilarious.

Great bowling from the Aussies, we've gone too hard at the ball but that's the way they play.

 

[mr_mister]

Howe you promised this wasn't an issue though

 

[Gob]

ffs get a ****ing climate

You could tell it was coming, the light around the time of Root's dismissal suddenly got very dark.

 

[Gob]

What happens if its a no result?

BD goes through on NRR?

 

[hazsa19]

I'm about 50 miles SE of Birmingham and the sky is blue if that helps?

 

[mr_mister]

What happens if its a no result?

BD goes through on NRR?

Yep

 

[zorax]

BD go through due to actually having won a game, not NRR.

 

[AndyZaltzHair]

Solution is very simple. Have a reserve day. Why everything has to be complicated in cricket?

 

[fredfertang]

All down to Nick Timothy

Bangladesh go through as they've actually won a game.

Something needs to change to prevent a situation like this from ever happening again. One NR is generally fine, but not being able to even complete a game is a terrible look no matter who it is. I'd be feeling pretty embarrassed now if we were in Bangladesh's situation.

 

[Aritro]

Well in that case, the Australians should do the right thing and call him back to the crease after the rain break.

Outrageous if Bangladesh are denied their rightful place in the semi-final due to a basic lack of sportsmanship.

That was because zampa put his hat back on

 

[mr_mister]

It wouldn't be irrational to ban international matches from being played in England

Stop you losing test series here with comedy batting I guess.
