Now it says cloudy. Guys I hope this match goes on even if we can get 2 days before we had off to SA will be great for the boys. This weather is not like the one in SA but its definitely friendly for pace bowlers. Bowlers like Mills and O'brian will absolutely rip through any top order in this condition.

It seems that we will have two days of cricket in this tst anyway, just enough for the teams to practise for their next series

[BagherBacha]

Hope we give a good fight as soon play resumes.

It has stopped raining now at Dhaka. But the sky is very cloudy. Every chance of rain pouring down. Also we had big amount of rain yesterday night. So, even it does not rain, i do not think, play can start before lunch. But as it has stopped raining, chance of some sort of cricket is better than previous two days.

[al Furqaan]

what happened to the drainage at sbns...it should clear things up by lunctime shouldn't it???

[LateCut]

Does not look too good.

Yaseer you are to give minute by minute weather updates, the weather sites dont update enough

[cricket_pagol]

The inspection time is coming up, i feel that we will have a couple of hours of play today

[cricman]

I went on a Tour of OT once and I saw they have some of these Lamps that give artificial sunlight to the Grass.

BCB need to invest in some of these 10K each or buy a really really big ones.

Having roofs on Cricket Grounds wouldn't be such a Bad Idea either

[FagunerAgun]

Anybody from Dhaka can update the weather now, please. Like to see some cricket as falling sleep while typing.

[cricman]

As of 9:50 Local Time on MSN it said Light Sprinkles in mirpuir

[FagunerAgun]

CI says, The umpires are expected to have an inspection at 11:00 local time. Now it is seven minutes after local 11:00, still nooo update yet.
