Hopefully the rain will come through and clear before the game….

 

[juss]

Probably delayed/shortened/washed out. The chance for a full 20/20 seams slim.

 

[eth-dog]

Looking at the radar it looks like a 2.5-3.5 hours worth of rain once it hits (around 4) so might just be a delayed start.

How long could it be delayed and still get a full match?

Overs are lost once 8 minutes of play has been lost.

Such a shame this game isn't at Marvel.

 

[Gavin Excell]

And another BBL wash out

 

[balmainforever]

Still raining in Bacchus Marsh
Late start seems unavoidable

 

[The 747]

Rain seems pretty set in in Port Melbourne

 

[danstar]

absolutely no chance of any play tonight, been hammering down in melbournes north for last 3 hours and its relentless, the ground has had 10mm of rain in last hour alone. 1 point each again, helps stars to make final 4

 

[Reign Man]

Its been raining steadily for a couple of hours in inner Melbourne but it hasnt really come down that heavy so should be right to play once it clears up.

With the weather as it currently is, this may not matter as much for tonight, but it’ll be interesting to see the impact for the rest of the tournament

 

[Aristotle Pickett]

Looks a washout why not play under the roof at Docklands?

 

[Cleavy]

shame they couldn't swap the venue to Docklands at such short notice, and play the return match on the 13th at the MCG.

Looks a washout why not play under the roof at Docklands?

because Cricket is an outdoor sport, if it rains, so be it.

Looks a washout why not play under the roof at Docklands?

Because it was too late to prepare the pitch there.

There's Buckley's chance of play

 

[Aussie_boy]

Pay out the big bash all you want but Cricket is better than no Cricket, sick of these washouts!

 

[NYRB]

Latest start time would be 9:45PM Melbourne time for a 5 over contest per side.

 

[010203]

Ian Smith has the privilege of sitting next to Megan Barnard on the pre game show.

Probably because it’s the Stars home home for one. It’s not that simple

Least there’s the women’s odi to watch anyway

 

[PAFCsince1870]

Latest start time would be 9:45PM Melbourne time for a 5 over contest per side.

Cricinfo is saying 9:25, but either way will be called off way before that if it doesn't stop raining.

 

[StillAtLarge]

I reckon the game will start around 8:30, ground drains well
