ICC Cricket World Cup 2019

^It's grass, what colour do you expect it to be

One cricket pitch just looks like another

Lots of games will be effected this week.
Damn you rain!

Bangladesh take on Sri Lanka at Bristol this morning.
But it's already raining hard. It doesn't look good

The toss has been delayed, but the rain has stopped and there's a pitch inspection at 10:30am.

There's a big debate regarding the design of the stumps. They have been hit 5 times so far in this competition without the bails failing off.

It's still raining. So the match has now been abandoned

Think AUS v Pak tomorrow will be too which is a shame as it could be a great match.

This format was always going to have issues with teams potentially eliminated thanks to the weather. It is England for Christ sake! To make no provision for at least one spare day to allow for rain days, shows the folly of the tournament and the decision makers at the ICC.

I Remember fondly the old domestic knock out competitions where some matches did go into a second day. The ICC Must be wondering "What the hell is all this wet stuff?" it'S called RAIN!!

I think the semi finals and the final have a contingency day set aside in case of rain....at this rate they may need them!

Piss poor weather

Australia take on Pakistan in todays pool (swimming) match from Taunton.

We may get a match today
