@Crucial cheers for the update

Ok. I'm sacrificing myself for the good of the team.
Bed now.
I expect you, being the all night crew, to bring us home.
See you on the other side.
Good Night and Good Luck.

Damn. Another night's sleep required.

So excuse my naivety here but supposing it's a nice day do the BCs go in, bat for four overs then India go in ? is that how it works or will duckworth lewis be playing a part ?

If the weather is good, play just resumes from where it left off. If it’s a wash out, India go through as top qualifier.

Right so we need to go out swinging and get 10 an over at an absolute minimum.
Not ideal.

As @Donsteppa says, play resumes as is and we finish our innings and India get 50 overs. Rain is likely again so DLS could well be involved.
Frustrating but hopefully the pitch has turned into a minefield with the moisture and if we can limp our way to 240-250. We will have to bowl them out though, their batting lineup will get that on most days.

Our only hope is Trent Boult skittles the Indians quickly.
This is also one of the worst CWC tournaments, except for that time in the West Indies when the CWC went on for about six months.

I think the drop in quality directly correlates with the Black Caps massive drop in form. I was loving it a few weeks ago.

The rained out matches has ruined it but that's the risk of playing in England.

I reckon it's been awesome. Lots of high quality games, the best teams don't miss the knockouts (even with rain), and there's cricket just about every day.
That West Indies one was bizarre - too long, too complicated, and just general weirdness. Was that the one where the Pakistan coach Bob Woolmer passed away? And there was that long Super 8 where you carried points, and a minnow like Ireland (or Kenya) got through?
this one is clean; if you're good enough, you get there
