Just as they get back on, the rain starts coming down again. Finally at 6:26, the rain stops but we will only have time for 1 or 2 overs in Day 2.

We'll continue play tomorrow. I want to go watch the Sydney-Wellington A-League game.

What's with all the rain?
Is it normally this bad...

I'm use to ICC, where it only happens once or twice a season.

I suppose in some ways, rained out days are more realistic.

With the pitch in this condition it shouldn't take long to bowl them out twice. But we need to make sure we enforce the follow on.

Can I open the bowling?

 

[CG123]

Meh, it's just that I'd rather not have rain.
Also normally not that much cricket is rained out (over the summer in NZ), most of the time it's due to bad light.
I guess it is tropical weather though.

[riz7khan12]

i'm not sure if we should declare good chance for everyone to get a bat, hows the weather like i hope it doesn't rain

 

[hedger_14]

Oh look. It went from nice sunny skies to raining with Sugden on 190*, just over half way through the first session.

37 overs have been lost. Play has been resumed at 4:08 pm. Tea will happen in a few seconds. Still 36 overs to be played today.

 

[CG123]

Just take the draw and give everyone a bat, we'll still win the thing, assuming we win our other two or however many matches.
