Re: ICC Champions Trophy, 11th Match, Group A: England v New Zealand at Cardiff, Jun

Big Matches and series like these need to be held somewhere dry like the UAE in summer time. I'd rather have them take three times as many drink breaks because of the hot weather than have no match at all :/

Re: ICC Champions Trophy, 11th Match, Group A: England v New Zealand at Cardiff, Jun

I think...due to rain...NZ & SL will advance to the semis from group A...

Re: ICC Champions Trophy, 11th Match, Group A: England v New Zealand at Cardiff, Jun

hahaha England is going to love that!

Re: ICC Champions Trophy, 11th Match, Group A: England v New Zealand at Cardiff, Jun

i wonder why they pick a country to host cricket tournament where it rains almost daily and have no SKYDOME like we have in Toronto, Canada. it's really annoying that we in North America get up at 5 am only to finf out that the game has been delayed due to rain...i HATE UK weather...period!

Re: ICC Champions Trophy, 11th Match, Group A: England v New Zealand at Cardiff, Jun

or they should have allowed reserve days for rain disruptions

ICC has not scheduled reserve days for the semis and the final either
