India in Sri Lanka

[Hamish]

No more rain! Looks like this 1st ODI will played over 2 days, because it is rumoured around 50 overs will be possible today. Pitch Inspection still to be taken in a few minutes...

EDIT: Covers are now off, and stumps are in place, and now we only have to wait for a few patches to dry up!!!

The 1st two-day international between India and Sri Lanka should begin in about 52 minutes time.

This series is curse. Bad light after India reaches 11/0 after 3.4 overs....

Play is abandoned for the day.

That would be tragic. This is the last cricket I can watch before returning to the States.

Local Met. Dep. said showers will end tomorrow or day after.

international weather reports state otherwise. its going to rain for the next few days, except sat.

You really can't trust the weather, but i do really hope we get to see the next two matches happenning.

soo the matchs scheduled to start at 11am IST....as cricinfo says...i hope there are no more delays

 

[sohum]

Weather.com claims 60% chance of rain today. Hopefully we'll get the other 40% for once. Just like hopefully they'll stop showing golf on the TV one day.

Back to square 0.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

from cricinfo..
10:00 local time - Yesterday's torrential shower which instigated the abandoning of play did last for quite a long time and today morning the ground was hit by few passing showers. Surprisingly the outfield is in a pretty good shape and the groundstaff are confident that the ground will be fit for play in an hour, provided there is no further downpour. There is always that threat...

At the moment the Sinhalese Sports Club is bathed in sunshine but things can change very quickly in these parts of the world when it comes to the weather. The forecast is for rains in the afternoon. Any delay today will affect the number of overs to be bowled in the day. Already we are looking at a shortened game and further delays will be catastrophic.

10:19 local time - The return of the tormentor... In just a matter of 10 minutes the condtions turned upside down, from bright and sunny to dark and cloudly in a blink of an eye. It's pelting down at the moment and it's looking all too familiar... As they say - The best thing one can do when it's raining is to let it rain.

AAAAHhhhh thats sooo annoying....lol i hope it stops n they can get on with the game
