[BLUEBLOOD]

Start delayed because of a damp outfield, there is an inspection due any minute now

Damn !!!!!!!! cricinfo hasn't updated yet .. i can see this being abandoned and so depriving England the chance to go 2nd in the ratings

 

[number11]

THe forecast is for awful weather so I guess it will depend if they can fit in a 20 over a side game in at some point. Game could then be a bit of a lottery but Id expect England to have more ethusiasm then S'Africa...

WTF are we playing in Wales in September?

Actually, WTF are we playing in Wales?

 

[BLUEBLOOD]

Well hopefully they'll get some sort of match in .. but it is raining now so i'm none too hopeful

 

[BLUEBLOOD]

Assuming there is no further rain play will comence at 4:30 and will be a 43 overs affair

 

[Yorkshire Blue]

We've won the toss and will chase under lights, which I'm not entirely sure of the wisdom of doing as I don't know if the Sofia Gardens lights are any good.

We're unchanged whilst Ontong comes in as the quota player in place of Philanderer.

 

[Stats]

Bowling first hmmm, perhaps England fancy a challenge rather than posting a high total then bowling out the Saaffers for next to nothing.

 

[sufcintheprem]

Off for rain. Still 1.3 to get a result of some sort today and England 1.3 to get that result.

Specatcular catch from Prior - he looks so much more agile since hsi return. Maybe the chance to work on his game and get confidence back has done him the world of good.

 

[sufcintheprem]

Right, don't cancel any plans you had tonight. Almost guaranteed to get no result. Think I misread the odds for the previous post.

 

[BLUEBLOOD]

I dashed home from work and saw precisely one ball before the heavens opened

What a bloody disgrace having a cricket match in Wales in September. That's a washout waiting to happen. :madman:

Edited for accuracy.

Wait until next season when we play the 1st Test against the convicts in Cardiff.
