Hope it pours down

Our useless mugs will find a way to lose

It's pouring atm but I feel it will probably clear by game time.

 

[Crashy]

Forget about any match tonight!

pissing down

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

Awwww... I think we forgot to put the covers on. Sorry

 

[PAFCsince1870]

No result not the worst outcome for Adelaide, especially if the alternative is a coin toss five overs a side game

 

[Moonwatcher]

Can both teams just agree that it's not safe to play?

It's as good as a win.

If tonight is rained out, and the Hurricanes beat an average Renegades side as expected, that's finals sorted you'd think.

 

[pjcrows]

Still raining here, at times heavy. They'll try to squeeze in some bullsh*t 6-overs-per-side at 9pm rubbish I'm sure.

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

Bit more rain but lots sliding north after this

Reckon they'll play

Suits Hales and his slogging but I hope not. Those games are dumb. Anything less than 10 overs I have huge problems with as a “game”

Just had a look at the radar in Adelaide, and can't imagine there is going to much of a game tonight.

I didn't think it looked too bad. Seemed to be drifting north-east of the ground, whether they can clean the ground up in time is a different matter.

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

Players out warming up now
Rain has stopped

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Booooooooo want the rain

 

[HBF]

Covers coming off.

 

[Crashy]

AO must have better drainage than my front lawn as its absolutely soaked

 

[HBF]

So much water of the ground. Going to take a while for the ground to dry.

 

[LukeParkerno1]

8pm earliest start so you’d assume max 15 over game

Feels about right, given what we can see happening on the ground.

 

[The Falcon Strike]

Strikers and thunder praying for rain

heat and stars praying for the dry

 

[juss]

I think 25% game loss is a bit of a joke. The local time there is currently 6:47pm, and it's a national public holiday tomorrow. No reason this couldn't be close to a full game...
