Were you talking about how much people were overreacting by complaining about the rain?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 **** 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

Well yeah it's a tournament run by the ICC. Its integrity has been gone for some time.Integrity of the tournament is surely ruined now.
If I recall, you sentiment was that it hadn't affected any important countries, that anyone cares about, so who gives a s**t?They are, but its great to see it affecting India beating up on some minnows for a change. As long as no England games get washed out, let it rain, let it rain, let it rain!!!
So it looks like we could get a 3rd washout and 2nd without a ball being bowled and we're only two weeks in.
Hi fans, I felt asleep. No game today, Kiwis running away with a point from Team India
Did you win your cards game? Did you beat Virat again?
I let him win this time, Virat isn't a good loser
What's the rules if a semi final is washed out? Similar to BBL where the higer placed team makes the final? Or are there reserve days for the semi's like there is for the final?
From Cricinfo:
Semi Final
If a Semi-Final is tied, the teams shall compete in a Super Over to determine which team progresses to the Final.
If following a tie, weather conditions prevent the Super Over from being completed, or if the match is abandoned or a no result at the end of the reserve day, then the team which proceeds to the Final will be the team that finished in the higher position in the League Stage.
Final
In the event of a tied final, the teams shall compete in a Super Over to determine which team is the winner.
If following a tie, weather conditions prevent the Super Over from being completed, or if the match is abandoned or a no result at the end of the reserve day, the teams shall be declared joint winners.
------
Looks like reserve day only comes into play in the case of a no-result.
But does that mean in the final if there is a super over which results in a tie, the trophy is won jointly?
Not sure how I feel about a Super Over potentially deciding the World Cup. Feels almost like that Futurama episode where Fry goes to the baseball.From Cricinfo:

Officially called off. The weather and the ICC's idea of scheduling claim another victim. Sri Lanka breathe a sigh of relief that it wasn't them again.
Relief? Rain's pretty much the only way they're likely to get points for the rest of the tournament.
Would be funny if Sri Lanka knocked off Australia on Saturday, it's unlikely but if a few of their better players fire they could cause a few problems.
They are, but its great to see it affecting India beating up on some minnows for a change. As long as no England games get washed out, let it rain, let it rain, let it rain!!!
