Super 12s Match Thread: Zimbabwe v South Africa

This is ridiculous i have never seen a game played in this weather. If ngarava gets injured from this...

Zimbabwe should be making a storm like how kohli did with that no ball in the pakistan game.

Agreed. Chakabva slipping over behind the stumps too.

This is total bullshit, they are literally playing in heavy rain.

Our only hope is rain ..you should have fast bowlers bowing with long run ups to try and buy time

Not going to happen. Umpires are so intent on getting a completed game, they will keep the players on there regardless. You can tell its hard with the way the players are squinting, slipping, struggling to get footing, have a proper run up.

Any other game, this would have been called off, but a World Cup , they are intent on going.

[sam_ahm]

Both India and esp Pakistan would have been keen on RSA dropping a point. Umpires don't want that to happen though.

[Zimco]

How is this fair. I guarantee india, australia, england would not be fielding in this.

Actually zimbabwe are partly at fault for letting this happen.

We have seen test matches called off for drizzle before

Finally

Looked like Williams was showing some leadership there

Yes, good on Williams for kicking up a fuss here. The conditions are dangerous, we've already lost one player to injury

[sam_ahm]

They've finally gone off. I'm all for RSA to get 2 points but rules are rules, they were literally playing in heavy rain, I mean that's simply not on.

Yes the rain is back ..just 4 minutes to go before it gets called off

[tej_27]

Ngarava got injured due to rain ? Anyone ? That's bad if that's the case
