Is there reserve days for semis? If so does this one continue from the current position?

4.45pm Looks like we have an update (kind of): We understand that if the match fails to start by 1835 local time (for a 20-over game) then it will be deferred to tomorrow. And for that to happen the rain has to ideally stop by 1730.

"What would be the DLS target for India to win if this were to be a 20-over match now?" Pertinent question from Yogesh Deshmukh. The answer is 148

5pm More bad news from Old Trafford:" And rain has picked up," says Sambit. "And that could be that." As we'd mentioned earlier the forecast isn't promising for tomorrow either.

Shekhar: "Yay! So if the match doesn't happen today AND tomorrow, India goes through to the Finals by virtue of being above NZ in the group stage.

India certainly don’t want to be chasing 148 off 20 in murky conditions in a lopsided match... I’d back the Snoozers if they got back on now.

No, I meant the weather ...

"Sorry India but that's it for the day. Match have to start again tomorrow yah?"

by beamer Tue 09 Jul 2019, 18:58

Under 2007 rules, yes... remember that final that finished with the Sri Lankan tailenders batting in the dark as there would have been riots across Australia had they been made to start from scratch the following day?

India will be breathing a sigh of relief, they will piss this given the best part of the day to chase a modest target.

Handscomb AND Stoinis to play. We have no hope.

Wade must be an axe murderer and cbnlg (sensibly) was over ruled on Mere Marsh (suspect the players threatened a revolt)

Hola Skully, Sounds like you are having a bonzer time. I bet you are enjoying the food and plonk. I hope you and your better half are going to fresh food/farmers' markets. Spoke to my mates in Costa Rica yesterday and they were about to cook some steaks from a tuna they'd caught. As the national greeting goes in Costa Rica, "Pura Vida"

Decent forecast for Wednesday, should easily get 54 overs in.

Vert hard to see NZ winning from here...

India won't get lucky a third time.

The Snoozies have been dudded by a combination of the weather and the tournament rules. The Bannies would most likely have won anyway, but the circumstances have conspired to make a certainty of this.

The snoozies have been dudded by the Bannies bowling so well

Plus they won the toss and batted which seems like a particularly stupid thing to do when there is a chance of rain and a reserve day.

Wade is still a chance to replace No Show.

WTF! Bannies 5/3
