Shish Ahmed · #29 May 10, 2005, 05:16 AM

Yes, it's very depressing for everyone. The forcast is better weather later on in the day, so hopefully the sun can show it's face for a change.

No play before lunch!

DId it start raining long before the game start time ? DId, at least, the "Toss" take place ?

So we are going to start with a rain delay. It�s a typical English early summer. I think it's also a thing, which required to be get acquainted with by our players.

Sam · #32 May 10, 2005, 05:37 AM

Do any of you know, when the lunch period will be over?

Around 13:00 (GMT 12:00), I guess.

I don't get it, it didn't rain that much over here. There hasn't been much sun though either....

I'm going to go over to fenners at 1 and see whats going on. But i can confirm there are steadily expanding thin streaks of blue here and there in between the clouds.

Sam · #38 May 10, 2005, 06:01 AM

Shahriar Nafees could be a little up in the order, 4th after HB.

PoorFan · #39 May 10, 2005, 06:01 AM

Thank's radicalsami, Hope no one get hurt on bad pitch.
Nothing than a dominated result is expected with this full strength team.

Sami · #40 May 10, 2005, 06:06 AM

The team list posted is not the batting line up. I just copy pasted the full team from Cricinfo and then took out the players who arent playing today. Sorry for any confusion that might have arised. I am putting a note in my original post.

Red Cherry · #41 May 10, 2005, 06:11 AM

any idea when the match will get started? how is the weather now......is it still raining???

Shish Ahmed · #42 May 10, 2005, 06:22 AM

It has stopped raining. Play should get underway once the outfield and has dryed up.

Possibly looking at around a 2.00pm start.

Sham · #43 May 10, 2005, 06:24 AM

The sun is out, i think we will get play within an hour or so!
