Re: WC2007 Final: SL v AUS
Scattered showers expected throughout the day...and tomorrow will be more rain...30% chance of rain...bye...bye final...
Re: WC2007 Final: SL v AUS
I think it would be great if the game does n't start at all due to rain today. Let's have a fresh start tomorrow with both teams having their full quota of 50 overs
Re: WC2007 Final: SL v AUS
Yeah, that would be ideal.
How long before it is called off? It's past midnight and I'm getting sleepy.
Re: WC2007 Final: SL v AUS
Tomorrow's forecast is even worse...
Re: WC2007 Final: SL v AUS
how does it look ?
will the rain stop or is it gonna continue?
Re: WC2007 Final: SL v AUS
seems like its going to rain and rain somemore :o stupid ICC

10.55am And the cover comes off ... that's been the highlight of the fun so far today. Our man in the stands says: "Just a few seats still to be taken - the music is loud and clear and at midwicket the Aussie fans are still keeping themselves entertained by hitting around a big inflatable ball."
Re: WC2007 Final: SL v AUS
A fitting end to a World Cup that wasn't.

11.05am** Very bad language from many sitting near me as the covers come back on. We had some blue sky but the dark clouds have come back.
Re the number of overs that will be deducted … we won’t know how many until we get a start time, then it will be calculated.
Re: WC2007 Final: SL v AUS
I hope there is no "limited over" World cup final, I just hope not.

Re: WC2007 Final: SL v AUS
The lesser the number of overs the match gets reduced to, Sri Lanka's chances get better correspondingly.
It is simple.....as the game gets shorter, the more it becomes a senseless battle of "tullaybaazi" ....and it becomes anybody's game at that point (regardless of who is the better overall team).
Re: WC2007 Final: SL v AUS
If there is no match tomorrow either...then SL & Aus will be declared the joint-champions... :)
PS: How about all those TV channels which bought the rights to broadcast the final show... :D
Re: WC2007 Final: SL v AUS
11.45am Massive cheers as the last of the covers comes off, and the Sri lankans come onto the outfield to warm-up ... again. "At least the raindrops have been musical," says a bored Andrew Miller. "The one dripping next to me fits the soca rhythm very nicely ..."
Re: WC2007 Final: SL v AUS
Latest: It's going to be 38-overs a side game
Re: WC2007 Final: SL v AUS
It looks more like a hitters game. Jaysuriya for Sri Lanka and Gilchrist, Symonds for Australia. If Ponting and Hayden are in mood, they can also score quick runs.
Re: WC2007 Final: SL v AUS
11.50am So, 38 overs each, three bowlers can bowl eight overs, two seven, and the third Powerplay is ditched.
Re: WC2007 Final: SL v AUS
Pitch is dry and flat.

Those overs will be reduced further...if more showers will be during the match...
