Group D (England, Ireland, West Indies) - 10th Match Ireland v England

[King Pietersen]

Play was due to start at 9:45, but the covers are now coming back on as it's raining again. Not looking good for Ireland.

this has been very unlucky days for England. They deserved to win yesterday and if they again lose here, it will be very unfortunate. They have a very decent T20 this time round.

Damn it, the game's been called off, states cricinfo! :

 

[Brook]

I guess overall it evened out for England, they probably would have won yesterday, they had a good chance of losing today.

Finally...England wins.:banana2

Booooooooooooo rain but yay at the same time

 

[Brook]

And as the rain sees England through, all thoughts of spare days to replay rain-affected matches are forgotten.

Would have been better hosting this up in Scotland. We've been having awesome weather recently, none of this rain stuff which appears to be causing so many problems!!!

 

[King Pietersen]

Think we would have defended the score if given the full 20, but it's pretty disappointing not to get a conclusive result. Sad for Ireland, but glad we scraped through.

Yeah but they would need to adjust the start times to get the crowds in as everybody is still in bed at half past one in the afternoon....

Joke of an event so far (in terms of weather), for us really. Just glad we've made it through the rain lottery.

Nah 1:30 is alright as that is when they wake up for their pork pies and Irn Bru, before heading back to bed at 2. Short bursts is how they would need to do it.

The West Indies is cursed for cricket tournaments.

 

[War]

And there was me thinking that a cricket ground next to a rain-forest in the "wet" season was a good idea.

Again, ICC and WICB proving themselves to be the most idiotic organisations that we could wish to have hosting a tournament.

Nah this is way too harsh. Guyana historically is known for having rain interrupt cricket. I highly doubt we will see much more interruptions as the tournaments goes on to Barbados & St.Lucia.
