and here is why

9.40am local time Hello everyone and welcome along to what will be coverage of India and Sri Lanka's CB Series game at Manuka Oval if and when the rain stops. Unfortunately it's been cats and dogs all morning and there are puddles everywhere.

At best it's going to be something like a 25-over game, that's if drainage is good. Hand-run super soppers are trying to drain water from the covers, while a couple of normal ones are doing the rounds in the outfield. There are puddles of water near the covers, it's not looking already I'm afraid.

From CI:
"If this match is washed out, it'll be the 11th no-result in ODIs between Sri Lanka and India, which is a record for any two teams. The next best (worst?) is Australia v India. Sri Lanka would have been involved in 22 washouts (if today's goes that way), and half of them have been versus India."

justforkix · « **Reply #11 on:** February 12, 2008, 12:32:06 AM »

Looks like another washout - Poor Nima who has gone to see the game LIVE !!!

LosingNow · « **Reply #12 on:** February 12, 2008, 01:06:49 AM »

Crap! we split points against SL.. this is not good. These 2 were our wins!!

LosingNow · « **Reply #13 on:** February 12, 2008, 01:11:23 AM »

Covers off... they are drying the outfield. Clear skies but with low clouds.

Nicholas says game should start at 1 Local and 30 over affair

i remember the 92 wc washout cost us dearly

Sri Lanka have won the toss and decided to bowl first

Aloo Kashmiri Ul Haq · « **Reply #16 on:** February 12, 2008, 02:09:11 AM »

No changes in the Indian team. Indians have retained the same eleven for this match.

keep-it-cool · « **Reply #17 on:** February 12, 2008, 02:11:24 AM »

Not good. Batting first immediately after rain in a shortened match. Too bad I have only Malinga in fantasy team among SL bowlers

teamindia · « **Reply #18 on:** February 12, 2008, 02:15:53 AM »

Is it a 29/29 ?
Cricinfo guys are still sleeping.

teamindia · « **Reply #19 on:** February 12, 2008, 02:17:11 AM »

Yes.
This is going to be a 29 overs a side affair.

LosingNow · « **Reply #20 on:** February 12, 2008, 02:19:21 AM »

From Cricbuzz..
"This is going to be a 29 overs a side affair. Mandatory Powerplay-6 overs, 2nd Powerplay-3 overs and 3rd Powerplay-2 overs. 4 bowlers can bowl 6 overs each and 1 bowler can bowl 5 overs"

LosingNow · « **Reply #21 on:** February 12, 2008, 02:20:51 AM »

So the strategy should be something between 20-20 and 50-50

Aloo Kashmiri Ul Haq · « **Reply #22 on:** February 12, 2008, 02:27:41 AM »

220+ would be the target i'd look for if i was dhoni

LosingNow · « **Reply #23 on:** February 12, 2008, 02:31:15 AM »

VS and SRT open.. Let's see if Sachin can blaze and prove that he can play 20-20.

Huge appeal .. VS safe

LosingNow · « **Reply #24 on:** February 12, 2008, 02:32:43 AM »

VS .. swinging and missing

LosingNow · « **Reply #25 on:** February 12, 2008, 02:36:15 AM »

Swinging.. 0 runs of 9 balls

LosingNow · « **Reply #26 on:** February 12, 2008, 02:37:26 AM »

OOOH.. SRT struggling too..

LosingNow · « **Reply #27 on:** February 12, 2008, 02:38:42 AM »

Finally 1 run of the 12th ball. Boy, hope the clouds stay for SL batting too. It is moving .. 175+ should be a good total here.

LosingNow · « **Reply #28 on:** February 12, 2008, 02:45:51 AM »

hmm.. see through sidescreens. This is innovative

teamindia · « **Reply #29 on:** February 12, 2008, 03:02:27 AM »

Good over. 14 of it.

LosingNow · « **Reply #30 on:** February 12, 2008, 03:02:32 AM »

Nima watching the development of a masterclass here. Lucky !!

LosingNow · « **Reply #31 on:** February 12, 2008, 03:06:00 AM »

Sehwag falls.. hope they send RU ahead of others.

teamindia · « **Reply #32 on:** February 12, 2008, 03:06:14 AM »

aw no.. VS Gone!

Who should come at 3?

teamindia · « **Reply #33 on:** February 12, 2008, 03:07:59 AM »

GG in.

back2grave · « **Reply #34 on:** February 12, 2008, 03:08:33 AM »

Looks like VS can't come up with a descent score unless he is blessed with multiple lives.....

LosingNow · « **Reply #35 on:** February 12, 2008, 03:08:41 AM »

GG runs a fast 3!!

back2grave · « **Reply #36 on:** February 12, 2008, 03:12:36 AM »

Now SRT departs...time for YS to find some form

ramshorns · « **Reply #37 on:** February 12, 2008, 03:14:25 AM »

Another Sehwag failure. Hmm. Wonder how demoralising it should be for players like Badrinath to see the same cast of characters getting so many chances.

teamindia · « **Reply #38 on:** February 12, 2008, 03:16:54 AM »

They should not let the RR drop.

yes it will take time for Badri to develop steel in him to become someone like SG and believe that "once-in-a-bluemoon-wonders-coated-with-ordinary-crap will eventually make way for quality"
