Saffers will get 1 point again, i wonder if a team has ever qualified with only getting 5 No results

 

[Jamurp]

SA should go home if their second match is rained, basically tournament over through no fault of their own.

 

[NYRB]

Looks overcast.

The World Cup is a joke if SA get 2 No result by no fault of their own. Need to come up with better contingency plans.

Also Sydney for the amount of fixtures they get in sport, need a proper indoor stadium for football codes/cricket.

 

[Voice of the G]

Rain has come

Second game is fine the first one in danger

SA love this hahahahaha

I thought it only rained in Sydney when the test matches are on.

Would love to hear your plan.

 

[NYRB]

Would love to hear your plan.

Maybe have a reserve day in plan if your 2nd game is washed out/abandoned game.

Its not a air game when you have 2 winnable games and the other top teams in the group get to play them.

Looking at the Sydney weather radar it looks like we could be in for another day of rain affected games and possibly more washouts.

Second game will be fine. It’s the first game and SA being done is funny

It always rains this month and frankly it’s terrible weather for us too so humid

 

[NYRB]

Bangladesh (Playing XI): Najmul Hossain Shanto, Soumya Sarkar, Litton Das(w), Shakib Al Hasan(c), Afif Hossain, Mehidy Hasan Miraz, Nurul Hasan, Mosaddek Hossain, Taskin Ahmed, Hasan Mahmud, Mustafizur Rahman

South Africa (Playing XI): Quinton de Kock(w), Temba Bavuma(c), Rilee Rossouw, Aiden Markram, David Miller, Tristan Stubbs, Wayne Parnell, Keshav Maharaj, Kagiso Rabada, Anrich Nortje, Tabraiz Shamsi

SA won toss and elected to bat 1st

 

[NYRB]

SCG boundaries for me are larger on one side

 

[danstar]

would be hilarious if South Africa didnt get on the field at all today.

Sorry I should not be having a crack at Sydney,s weather,Melbourne not much better and if any cricket here today I fear it would be washed out.

How’s Friday looking?

 

[danstar]

some of these "kids" look old enough to be playing in the world cup

 

[danstar]

How’s Friday looking?

Friday will be another washout, the weather is terrible today and the forecast is same tomorrow

 

[danstar]

the kid in front of the south african captain was taller then him haha

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Friday will be another washout, the weather is terrible today and the forecast is same tomorrow

Point is handy

 

[NYRB]

if I am right in saying the guys that have bought a ticket to South Africa v Bangladesh are entitled to go to both games in the double header? (India v Holland in next game as well)

 

[eddiesmith]

How’s Friday looking?

Probably same as Sydney today, should clear up for the second game.

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Good wicket for SA he’s rubbish

 

[danstar]

big wicket, taskin, is in some form at the moment. He could go close to been best bowler of the world cup by the end of the tournament

 

[akkaps]

Bavuma did not look comfortable at all out in the middle. Another captain that probably could be dropped from their XI

 

[corbies]

The ticket to this was for both games.

That’s a shame I’d take a point

Correct, which is also why people who got lost cricket yesterday because they only wanted to watch NZ v Afghanistan won’t get a refund as a game was still completed.
