Floods forecast for Southampton tomorrow

Looks like a wash out tomorrow against SA. Bad news as this is one we should win

Nuh worry

Nurse knew it was going to rain so he shored up the NRR big grin

Shhh! We must be lucky as we will be getting the point. SA always gave nightmares to Windies.

It doesn’t matter. The game against AUS they must have got those 2 points.

It will become difficult for Windies if the game is a wash out tomorrow as next few games will be with difficult sides such as ENG, NZ, IND, Bangla. Even Afghan can shock them.

It will become more difficult for SA if the game is a washout. NZ will get in good position for 4th spot.

Luckily we enjoyed, actually reveled, when we briefly topped the tables.

Not in world cup games

What WC games? You don’t remember the havoc ABD created in last WC against we?

The head to head record in WC against SA is:

SA - 4, WI - 2.

Well Lara put them out of a few world cup matches

 
darthvader 2019-06-09 12:11:55 

In reply to silver

Its not Lara’s generation any more. Even they defeated Lara’s team in 2007. We lost to SA in all our last 3 outings in WC.

Good, so West Indies will earn a point they would most likely not earn.

 
mittheimp 2019-06-09 15:02:05 

Not a disaster.. stil 6 games to go. Need to win 4 i think.

 
nitro 2019-06-09 15:21:36 

Finishing in the top 6 would be a great achievement for a team ranked about 10.

4 wins against?

I don’t think Windies can win against Eng, Ind, Bangla.

They must win against SL, Afghan and NZ. NZ is not an easy team to beat. They must even pull a win against Bangla. That many miracles are not possible for this dis-organized team.

Its easy to beat SA rather than Bangla and NZ.

WI CAN and have beaten England and India. Carry your negative elsewhere

 
mittheimp 2019-06-10 02:46:19 

Weather forcast improved a little... maybe a result is possible

In reply to darthvader Mr. Half Empty, those sides have tuff games coming up!

 
NineMiles 2019-06-10 05:05:24 

What improvement? The weather forecast is terrible for today.

To trek down to Southampton or not to, that is the question.

Decision decisions.... confused confused

In reply to NineMiles

We pretend a lot. We pretend we have better record against SA in WC. We pretend weather is good.

So, should I set my alarm or not? smile

Doesn't look good this morning.

At least the Rose Bowl has good drainage, so we may squeeze in a T20I between showers.

 
darthvader 2019-06-10 05:28:42 

In reply to mikesiva

Its better if a match is a washout rather than a T20. Windies have terrible T20 record from last 1 year. DLS also gave negative results for Windies.

 
darthvader 2019-06-10 05:29:37 

In reply to mikesiva

Afternoon it is more terrible. Nonstop heavy rain forecast.

 
cricketmad 2019-06-10 05:30:21 

In reply to mikesiva

The forecast is for light rain throughout the day with a light breeze.

Well goliath lives in Southampton so he can tell us what's happening outside his window.

Here in London it's persistent rain, English style nagging rain that would stop cricket from being played.

 
darthvader 2019-06-10 06:20:03 

Not looking good. A bad day for cricket.

2 washouts on the cards this week. Rain cursed we rather than SA.

 
Halliwell 2019-06-10 08:50:00 

In reply to darthvader

Rain might wash out everything for a few days
So the grief might be shared
Good for Afghanistan

It looks better in Southampton on the telly than it does here in London.

It well cold, though. Typical English summer!

Reminds me of the chilly June day we watched Middlesex play West indies at Lords.

Lights on. ..at 10.45 am!
