rain about delaying the scotland/NZ game before the Aussie game, outfield very wet

even talk of aussie game being cut down to 5 overs per side at the very best, happy days

 

[TheParraboy]

the NZ/Scotland game called off, They each get a point

Now the waiting game to see if we have a game between Aust / WI

if White bowls we're screwed

Dont worry, he wont arrive in time

Probably even more fun, just swing from the start and dont stop

The funniest moment will come if its wet for the final, they can decide the final with a 1 over eliminator :lol:

One of the Scottish blokes blasted the Kiwi openers but is out now, 1/33 off 2.3

Well with White only just getting into the country about now then yes he would have to be playing

Warner, Watson, Ponting, Clarke, Hussey, Hussey, Haddin, Hopes, Johnson, Bracken, Lee

A likely side imo, Hauritz could play ahead of Hopes but this pitches look bloody flat, although if Watson cant bowl then Hopes might have to move up into the top 7 and Hauritz comes in

Is the Aussie game all good to go ahead?
