Should still be trying to field the best possible team, though - it may be a 'dead rubber' as far as the series is concerned, but there are still ranking points on offer & the selectors should still be looking to win the match. Today's side (if they ever get to play!) doesn't look like doing that...

I think today's game will be abandoned. Thank God for that, at least we won't be embarrassed.

Well ive come home, im completely soaked. The bulawayo pitch looked more like a manmade lake when i left. As far as i saw it i cant see any play for today so im pretty sure it will be officialy abandoned soon.

Its just my luck though that it has now stopped raining, but i still dont tyhink they can get the ground ready in time.

That's the consensus around here too, it's only a matter of time before the game is called off.

What was today's crowd like? Anyone turn up? What was the 4th ODI crowd like?

The 4th crowd was very good, at least 3000, may of them school children.

Today hardly anything, as most people turn up later in the day after work.

Is there a bar or meeting place at Queens? Because there's the Keg & Maiden at HSC, it would seem a shame if there was no gathering place at Queens.
