New Zealand in Bangladesh, October 2010/11

[Chewie]

This sucks Was hoping to come home from uni and settle into the weekend watching some cricket.

Match abandoned - ESPN3

So no 5 match series!! Damn it!

 

[riz7khan12]

just need 2 ODI's not to get rained out!

 

[CG123]

Bangladesh now just need to win one of the final three matches, and they'll draw their first ever ODI series against us.

 

[ferg512]

we cant really afford another slip up now

 

[ZexyZahid]

It's likely that the 3rd ODI will be abandoned also, because of the rain.

 

[khalek]

No it shouldn't. It hasn't rained here the whole day today but who knows about tomorrow.

 

[ZexyZahid]

Didn't know you live in Dhaka. On Monday rain is expected again: 10 day Weather in Dhaka - weather.co.uk But I found out that the weather predictions about Dhaka aren't that reliable.

 

[Insomniac]

So will there be a game today, or no?

 

[ZexyZahid]

Next match (3rd ODI) will be on Monday, so there is no match today.

-_- 3 day gap between games played at the same venue.

I never understood why limited overs cricket is played on Monday and weekdays as opposed to Sat and Sunday back to back games when people are actually off work.

 

[riz7khan12]

Sat and Sunday back to back games when people are actually off work.

that would be tiring for the players, especially playing in that sort of humidity.

 

[pcfan123]

as opposed to a test match ?

 

[riz7khan12]

as opposed to a test match ?

yeah, but they go way slower in test matches... laid back attitude. While in ODI's your have constant pressure to rotate the strike during the middle overs and then attack at the start and at the death. All adds up.
