Lunch rain means there’s a glimmer of hope. There’s a bit of blue sky here and there. I reckon up until 3pm they will consider playing depending on the outfield.

If today does get rained out, we only have ourselves to blame.

We choked against Scotland and West Indies - we only budgeted for one loss before the tournament, not one and a half. Our batting has basically been non-existent and our bowling, while good at times like the Ireland game, has been toothless when it really mattered (today and WI game).
This. We should not have struggled to Scotland, and we choked big time against WI.

We put ourselves in the best possible position to qualify, and then choked majorly, just like our neighbours.

I don't like DLS because it does not calculate things properly. It will reduce the overs by 10, but add on like extra 20 runs.

I did say we should try to race through some overs knowing that rain was a possibility, but we didn't.

We are our own worst enemy so often. I've now got to drive home after a crap day at work, and hope that things change
