Oh, just looked at the forecast.

Good time for a cricket tournament in rainy season.

10:15am The covers have been coming off for the last few minutes. Having said that, a drizzle can be seen around Karthik as he speaks on the pre-match show. So, some of the progress might get undone. But a full game can start till 2.40pm local time, giving you the chance to hang out with Alan for a while.

Sigh.

Well, this has been a pretty awful tournament all round. These pitches are a shambles.

Stu999 · Thursday at 20:20

Getting absolutely reamed at the moment.

Serves me right for getting hopes up. Klaasen all but wins the game, before the inevitable choke. 26 run from 24 ball with 6 wickets remaining. 96.62% probability to win and we still blow it. Marco Jansen has no big match temperament - completely missing lengths just like last years semi final against Australia. Gave Kohli a easy start which laid the platform. On other hand SKYs catch was incredible - nail in coffin.
