Duckworth/Lewis now surely having completed 17 overs?Just got a radio and play is due to restart at 7.08pm (gotta love the precision!)

[/quote]D/L comes into play now but if we got a downfall (rather like what''s happening outside my window now) then it''s game over for us.  Really hope not as it''s nicely poised.

[LQ 0]

I can''t see what''s happening outside my window because some idiot has obviously climbed onto the roof and is chucking buckets of water at it.

Think we should be able to get in 5 overs regardless. Not a bad start, but again theres no drive after KP gets out. When we come back out to play I really hope one of the two (Most likely Colly) will give it a proper whack, we cant meander along to a 150/160 finish against a decent Windies batting lineup.

as i said the other day collingwood is w a n k

[Trent Canary 0]

Yep my skys down too. Got it on the radio though. Colly out, Lets hope Swann and Broad can add a couple boundaries because we shall be relying on our bowling again.

[LQ 0]

Nice finish from Broad there.Just need to hope we can get enough overs (is it 5?) to make it a match and we could have a chance.

[Pete Raven 276]

Not a great total, especially at the Oval. Need to get Gayle out quickly otherwise he''ll eat up that score.

we got 161 after 20 overs but what happens if it rains now?

[AndyJR 0]

Not sure leaving out Mascheranes was a good idea but I suppose at least we have the extra bowler now.  So much depends on getting Gayle early because if he''s still there in 6 overs, they will probably be half way to their target.  Our fielding has to be top notch - not easy in the wet.  Fingers crossed anyway.

[Trent Canary 0]

[quote user="barryevans"]we got 161 after 20 overs but what happens if it rains now?[/quote]Has to be at least five overs for a completed match. If it doesnt rain they should be able to fit in 20 overs. If it does rain then the stats guys will be working overtime to decide how much WI must chase..

[Pete Raven 276]

Covers are on. D/L method going to come into play. If there''s no play then West Indies go through.

[I am a Banana 0]

not looking good

here or there!

[Pete Raven 276]

Covers off in 10 mins.

[Excited Canary 19]

So we opt for the extra bowler, and now due to reduced overs we wont be able to use the extra bowler anyway!!! Doh.

[Excited Canary 19]

So pete, play to resume at 7:50?

[Pete Raven 276]

D/L adjusted target for five overs would be 47...

[LQ 0]

Depends how many are out in the 5 overs doesn''t it?None out = 355 out = 50

[Pete Raven 276]

Raining again. West Indies have until 8.30pm to get back on. If not, they go through.

[quote user="Sports Desk - Pete"]D/L adjusted target for five overs would be 47...[/quote]47? Yikes does that increase if WI lose wickets do you know Pete?
