World Cup Day 15 India v New Zealand @ Trent Bridge

[Gough]

Match begins 1900hrs Central.

 

[Kyptastic]

Think New Zealand would be happy with a rained-out match here. They'd be competitive with India, but they don't quite have the same firepower that the Indians do throughout their batting and bowling.

 

[The Speaker]

How's the drainage at Trent Bridge? Been raining consistently there for days, but it might cool off by the afternoon.

Kohli and one or two spinners are the points of difference but them aside I think the Kiwis stack up pretty well man for man.

Hope it rains but going for NZ

 

[Macpotata]

Cracking game. NZ are a dangerous beast and could make the final. They're also good enough to win it.

Regardless of the outcome here the Indians are my pick to win it all. Heavyweight talent on display ( if it goes ahead )

 

[RookiePick]

Boult in English conditions is no joke. Better tools to trouble the Indian top order than we have got.

More rain there so any start will be further delayed, they still haven't even had the toss yet.

Of course!!

 

[Cleavy]

how's the cards, RohitSharma ?

He will be the best at it I’m tipping!

Bloody hell does it ever stop raining in England? Seems like monsoon season this past week.

 

[Blue1980]

England should be stripped from hosting international cricket until they can either:

a) stop it from raining
b) make their stadiums indoor

Is it too late to shift the rest of the World Cup to another country?

To Ireland

Who decided the WC could be played in the U.K.?

 

[The Speaker]

Okay, I will be that guy and point out that this is unseasonal weather for England.

In fact, blaming English weather takes the blame off the ICC for creating a format which makes reserve days much tougher to have.

Why play it in June where it’s known to be very wet? That’s the biggest issue

Eddie has obviously gotten to you!

 

[Doodlesweaver]

It's been bloody dry this year. The ICC World Cup arrives and I'm getting soaked cycling to and from work.

 

[LukeParkerno1]

You watch it not rain a day during Wimbledon

 

[Visions]

You watch it not rain a day during Wimbledon

Wonder how the weather will be during the Ashes?

Plenty of time to do the Times crossword in rain delays.

Thankful the Ashes is later in the summer

 

[Adelaide Hawk]

Has it been declared a washout yet?

If it wasn’t for the Indian Cricket Council dictating their domestic tournament as more important than the World Cup then most of the games would have been played before the weather turned to s**t and we’d be in finals with reserve days by now, so I hope it screws India over being denied an easy NRR boosting win tonight
