On form Hobart but it will be a typical game Phillipe does something

 

[NSWCROW]

Might not get a game in

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Good old Sydney weather strikes again.

It should be ok

 

[MJG14]

Sixers haven't looked great but I feel like they are due a win.

Rain at the Sydney Cricket Ground - who would have thought.

 

[Aussie_boy]

Sydney and Adelaide are polar opposites- the forecast can be dreadful in Adelaide and it will magically not rain when the Cricket is on whereas I reckon there could be zero chance of rain in Sydney and there would still somehow be a rain delay.

You can cut that sentence in half

I remember the Adelaide test in the 2010 Ashes where we were agonisingly close to a rained-out draw. Day 5 and the Poms needed two wickets pretty quickly as there was a deluge worth about 90mm on its way. Low and behold, about five minutes after they took the last wicket to win by an innings, the downpour started.

Dan Christian "groundsman not moving at all.............looks like it sets in"

The rain that day was biblical.

The SCG is like a magnet for rain, it can be dry in most other places around Sydney but somehow the rain will just hang around the SCG.

It looks like the rain is clearing on the radar but who knows when it will actually stop at the ground.

"Kath Loughnan looks good in pink "?????

You sicko

 

[Reign Man]

Looks like it will clear for sure soon although super light drizzle doesn't register on the radar. Should get a game in

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Oh well least don’t miss any during dinner

 

[NYRB]

Still raining at 7:21 pm AEST from Jim Callinan

Gilly will be getting splinters in his arse regarding the Boland/Hazlewood selection conundrum.

 

[010203]

Seems like the rain isn't heavy enough to stop a game of cricket but you obviously can't start a game while it's raining.

Seems like the rain isn't heavy enough to stop a game of cricket but you obviously can't start a game while it's raining.

The thing with the SCG is its basically in the Eastern Suburbs of Sydney, above 10km inland of the coast of the beaches. When it rains, it usually lingers around too.

I think they said before that they can start a game if it's raining lightly enough that they wouldn't come off if they were playing. Might have to stop to take the covers off though

 

[010203]

This is the last BBL match on channel 7 until Monday so they'll be pissed off if this match is severely rain reduced or abandoned.

 

[NYRB]

Callinan saying covers are coming off now at 7:40 PM Sydney Time

 

[NYRB]

Cricinfo saying over will be lost going ahead from here as well.

Fascinating analysis from Zampa about how his action has changed and how Rashid bowls so differently to traditional wrist spinners.
