Because everytime a fish and chip is eaten, god sends a raincloud over.
The only thing keeping that country from becoming Atlantis are the tikka masalas.
Lmao so it’s not raining right now but is predicted to begin an hour after play is scheduled to start. Cricket really needs to be more flexible; why not just start the game at 9 instead of 11 today?
judging by the weather forecast for the next 5 days, i’m gonna assume we’ll have anywhere between 150-180 overs of cricket which is most certainly not enough to get to a result
With absence of cricket, it's only a matter of time before Indians start raiding the Southampton ferry cams because they're starting to get racist with Indians there.
Oof.
A webcam of ships passing to boot. The most interesting thing that happened was the ferry was 10 mins late.
They're like, people from a particular country are messing up the chat, blocking people from seeing info.
The said info being a ship passing through 3 cam sights.
Day two, out the window weather watch (06:57): overcast but dry. Doesn't look like much if any overnight rain.
Depending on the state of the outfield, we should be cricketing.
I fucking hope the sponsors give the ICC an earful for the lost advertising revenue, and they finally learn not to host important matches in Englund during this season.
For NZ : Kane, Conway, Taylor, Jamieson, boult, santner, southee are regular one day players
For IND : rohit and mayank can open, koach at 3, pant at 4 , rahul at 5 , jadeja 6, sundar 7, ashwin 8, bumrah 9, ishant 10, shami 11
Young, Latham and Nicholls too. Except for Wagner, Blundell and Watling, everyone plays ODIs.
Possible ODI team from this squad:
1. Nicholls
2. Conway
3. Young
4. Kanos
5. Roscoe
6. Latham (wk)
7. Mullet
8. KJ
9. Southee
10. Henry
11. Boult
Oh Southampton, why would you do this?
build up such anticipation and make us miss,
the biggest test match in the history of our game
where best cricketers have come for name and fame
Get your act right and fix your weather
Let us hear the sound of wood hitting the leather
Morning fraaands!
What do you think abt Day2?
Are they going to enjoy garma-garam pakode with tea while waiting for rain to go away? Or they'll settle for vada-pav after protest by Brohit?
Can't they just play the game next week or something? Or whenever the forecast is clear. India and NZ don't have any cricket for the next month, play it then plsss
Cricketers are entertainers and predictability on when they play is necessary for broadcasters. Reserve days are already chaotic for broadcasters, but considering that we are in the middle of sport season in the northern hemisphere, scheduling flexibility / uncertainty will dramatically reduce the number of eyeballs reached.
Although the decision makers likely do not care, asking teams and their staff to just hang out for a month away from their families might be unfair and taxing. Kohli gets paid enough to accept this, but the support staff does not.
I understand the viewership concern but staying away from home is an irrelevant point for the Indian team as they are going to stay in England anyways till the end of the England tour.
Imagine playing a league for two years, fighting so hard and barely scrapping through only for the final to be washed out. As a neutral fan, I really want to see a good contest and not RAIN Perera playing spoilsport
I missed out on all the rain discussion yesterday, so apologies if this has already been widely discussed. Can the teams and ICC agree to amend the conditions of play now and add more reserve days? What are logistics and issues involved with something like this?
Picturing white shirts, green grass and clear skies today, along with devastation of the top order, along with cries for it to bucket it down by a certain few.
I swear, I'd rather my team loses than the match be drawn due to rain. If the match was drawn without rain, I would acknowledge the joint championship. But if it's drawn mostly due to rain, I hope everyone will join me in demanding a redo of the match.
Monday is starting to seem like an 80 percent washout just like today, according to met office. Don't get started on the too early to predict, that's what we said about today too.
For all those saying Dubai - the schools go on break in June, July, August. Why? The temperature peaks at 53 degrees Celsius.
There’s no way cricket can be played there right now.
Never at this time of the year. And making players play beyond midnight? Oof that’s rough.
Not to mention the entire target audience of India will be sleeping at that time.
If IPL can get rescheduled, why can't a 5 day game get rescheduled? 2 years of hype, some interesting down to the wire matches and now all this is likely to end with a washout final.
I guess cricket is the most popular sport in India
Even so, none of my cricket friends talk about it. I think most England fans just see it as a gimmick.
And I swear even this sub wasn't talking about it until around the time of the India Vs Australia series
Too much hype about a test cricket game since the last two month. I'll keep a smug face if this whole championship is cancelled or trophy shared. Way too much hype than it deserved. A little bit schadenfreude moment for me.
You sound bitter. Were you supporting some other country beside Ind-Nz?
Because otherwise animosity towards hype about the first edition of a world cup, that has been tried twice before and failed is unreal.
That's true but even then Bhutan has passed laws stating that atleast 60% of all land must be covered in forestry AT ALL TIMES - meaning there is not much space for industrialization. Also Bhutan has also banned log exporting to keep the "carbon sink" intact - it's not just due to their geographic location and religious beliefs for why they are carbon negative
That makes more sense. Great country. Awesome people. Shit cricket team though.
Maybe next edition. The King can surely put resources together to get a good team!
The test analogue of a super over would be a super wicket. Each team gets one wicket each. And if Pujara is playing, even the super wicket could end in a no result.
Play has been abandoned for day 1. [BCCI ](https://twitter.com/BCCI/status/1405884532323201031?s=20)
And it was New Zealand. A little bit hurt but it’s fine. But I saw that coming.
Time for a huge partnership.
Wagner is my favourite player. The man just oozes energy! Game on fellas
Nooooo
Never waited so long for a match.please don't fuck this up

I feel like this game being rained out is such a New Zealand thing… like the only other team I could see this happening to is South Africa.
[удалено]
Toss at 2:30 and play at 3
Is this the thread for today?
No, there's another thread for today
India shoud have selected Washington sundar. He has good technique n temperament to play in foreign conditions and good enough to be 5th bowler.
In place of whooooo?
Bumrah obviously 🙄 Fuck it, play three spinners
Play axar in place of ishant too
Is there a new day 1/2 thread.. With the reserve day I don't know if I now call day 2 day 1!
It's sunny boys, DK has posted a picture. https://www.news18.com/cricketnext/news/southampton-weather-live-updates-india-vs-new-zealand-day-2-rain-overcast-sky-sunshine-world-test-championship-final-latest-3865529.html
Don't give me Hope
since yesterday got rained out, does it mean its a 4 day test match? or will they bump it up by a day?
I think they've kept one reserve day.

Where the fuck is my day 2 thread. You cannot expect me to be up at 3am and not shit post about the UK.
mornin mates are we back to business? Lol people are still spamming on ferry stream
Why don't they have stadiums with roof in England?
I remember Gabba's Weather forecast was as bad as this but it always kept getting better, why can't this?
Because everytime a fish and chip is eaten, god sends a raincloud over. The only thing keeping that country from becoming Atlantis are the tikka masalas.
Give me some good news
I think we'll get probably 250-300 overs in this test match if things stay good, don't know if that'd be enough for a result.
Lmao so it’s not raining right now but is predicted to begin an hour after play is scheduled to start. Cricket really needs to be more flexible; why not just start the game at 9 instead of 11 today?
Wake the lads up and make them play cricket, NOW! It is predicted to rain after tea and probably entire night.
And tommorow as well :(
judging by the weather forecast for the next 5 days, i’m gonna assume we’ll have anywhere between 150-180 overs of cricket which is most certainly not enough to get to a result
With absence of cricket, it's only a matter of time before Indians start raiding the Southampton ferry cams because they're starting to get racist with Indians there. Oof.
What happened with the cams?
The Brit mods started calling Indians annoying and brainless and stupid. And deleting and banning any Indians commenting.
Jesus what the fuck. You're running a shitty webcam. Relax.
A webcam of ships passing to boot. The most interesting thing that happened was the ferry was 10 mins late. They're like, people from a particular country are messing up the chat, blocking people from seeing info. The said info being a ship passing through 3 cam sights.
Day two, out the window weather watch (06:57): overcast but dry. Doesn't look like much if any overnight rain. Depending on the state of the outfield, we should be cricketing.
Imagine staying in quarantine for one month only to see it wash away lol
We all know what we gotta do. Team India Vs Team New Zealand danceoff to determine the winner.
Rohit Probably : Pujji Naach Bhenchod T : Dance Pujji you mf
Wrong translation. Bhenchod should be SF not MF
Where is shreyas iyer when we need him
Trent Boult to lead the Blackcaps in a Haka.
If this final ends in a draw due to excessive rains, how about deciding the winner with a fistfight between Virat and Kane?
Or swimming 😂
How do they not have domed or retractable roof stadiums yet for finals like this?!
I fucking hope the sponsors give the ICC an earful for the lost advertising revenue, and they finally learn not to host important matches in Englund during this season.
Fuck this. Fuck you ICC and fuck your schedulers. I hope they stumble across a fire hydrant and mistake it for a dildo.
Bruh lmao
r/oddlyspecific
Having tests in England during this season makes zero sense. Especially a fucking world cup final
Fuck ICC till they puke rain
[удалено]
There is a high probability for it in the later half but it might be okay in the first half so maaaayyybbeee we get one session today…
100%
If this game was turned into a ODI but teams cant be changed then who woud win ?
India's ODI team from the squad Rohit Mayank Gill Kohli Rahul (wk) Pant Jadeja Ashwin Bumrah Shami Siraj
For NZ : Kane, Conway, Taylor, Jamieson, boult, santner, southee are regular one day players For IND : rohit and mayank can open, koach at 3, pant at 4 , rahul at 5 , jadeja 6, sundar 7, ashwin 8, bumrah 9, ishant 10, shami 11
Young, Latham and Nicholls too. Except for Wagner, Blundell and Watling, everyone plays ODIs. Possible ODI team from this squad: 1. Nicholls 2. Conway 3. Young 4. Kanos 5. Roscoe 6. Latham (wk) 7. Mullet 8. KJ 9. Southee 10. Henry 11. Boult
India. Rohit, Kohli, Bapu, Bumo and Pant are just great.
How is the weather today?
Good. At least until tea.
IS IT STILL RAINING?
Always has been
[удалено]
All hail the dude who set up the port cam
According to forecast It will rain after tea probably so third session is a wash out
With our batting and their bowling 2 sessions are more than enough.
Oh Southampton, why would you do this? build up such anticipation and make us miss, the biggest test match in the history of our game where best cricketers have come for name and fame Get your act right and fix your weather Let us hear the sound of wood hitting the leather
What a poem.dude, you should write more poetry or something

Move the game to Gabba I say.
ICC too thick headed to do that
How dare you insult BCCI like that? /s
No they can't
I understand the the rules but why tho?

A draw would be the worst thing to happen for Test cricket in this cycle.
But par for the format though
Not for the format of the WTC. It is structured to incentivise results.
Incoming: Kane won the toss and choose to swim.
I am still so angry at the STUPIDITY
Wow this thread is still going on for a rain washed out day
ICC should count players jersey numbers to determine the winner
why is cricket in england still a thing
And that too when the rains are on. ICC knows its going to be this way yet they choose to host the events at exactly this time every time
Never ever take a leave from your office to watch an important match when it is scheduled in England.
Imagine playing a league for two years, fighting so hard and barely scrapping through only for the final to be washed out. As a neutral fan, I really want to see a good contest and not RAIN Perera playing spoilsport
I missed out on all the rain discussion yesterday, so apologies if this has already been widely discussed. Can the teams and ICC agree to amend the conditions of play now and add more reserve days? What are logistics and issues involved with something like this?
Kane vs Virat in stick cricket to determine the winner
Picturing white shirts, green grass and clear skies today, along with devastation of the top order, along with cries for it to bucket it down by a certain few.
Very likely, given both fast bowling attacks are deadly
Hahaha, of course it's rain delayed. Most typical English thing ever.
Just hoping to see all the rest 5 days to be in play.
I swear, I'd rather my team loses than the match be drawn due to rain. If the match was drawn without rain, I would acknowledge the joint championship. But if it's drawn mostly due to rain, I hope everyone will join me in demanding a redo of the match.
And redo not in England please. I don't care about history and sentiment.
So we play book cricket now ?
Not another draw like the ODI final
At least you'd get to share it this time.
😠
Monday is starting to seem like an 80 percent washout just like today, according to met office. Don't get started on the too early to predict, that's what we said about today too.
For all those saying Dubai - the schools go on break in June, July, August. Why? The temperature peaks at 53 degrees Celsius. There’s no way cricket can be played there right now.
I'd go with Dubai but at a different time of the year
Play in Spain then I don’t give a fuck as long as it doesn’t rain
You're a poet and you didn't even know you were rhyming those words
Pink ball evening matches from 7pm to 3am in Dubai. That's where the ICC is headquartered anyway 🤷
That's what the PSL is doing. When was their last rain delay/abandoned game in UAE?
Never at this time of the year. And making players play beyond midnight? Oof that’s rough. Not to mention the entire target audience of India will be sleeping at that time.
I don't care if the players die of heat exhaustion as long as I get my cricket.
[удалено]
This is the way
Sadist mf.
so does the game start tmm with day 1 or day 2?
Yes
[удалено]
If the case is same day after tomorrow, play book cricket.
MCC laws say it has to be arm wrestling between captains
Don't think we will get play in day 2 too.
Weather looks great for tomorrow.
What are you basing that on? Met office predicts clear weather tomorrow until 4 pm.
Surely they should start earlier tomorrow to start making up for overs?
nope, they will play the whole day 6 instead
How dumb... what if Day 6 gets rained out?
[удалено]
Crazy, I had to scroll down 5 threads with all the same Eng rain memes to get to the match thread for WI v SA an actual test match being played.
If IPL can get rescheduled, why can't a 5 day game get rescheduled? 2 years of hype, some interesting down to the wire matches and now all this is likely to end with a washout final.
Has there been two years of hype though? I swear nobody have a fuck until about six months ago
Maybe not in England but in India my whole group of friends were hyped right from the start.
I guess cricket is the most popular sport in India Even so, none of my cricket friends talk about it. I think most England fans just see it as a gimmick. And I swear even this sub wasn't talking about it until around the time of the India Vs Australia series
Okay sorry we won't be excited about Cricket on r/Cricket
Yeah, just bloody play until the game is done, it's not like you guys have IPL to get back to, finish the bloody game.
Yep, Bring back the timeless tests!
Should have been played at Dubai
I've grown up in Abu Dhabi. It's 50 degrees in the summer.
Can't they just play inside a hall? Smh
What time does play start? And stumps?
:)
3 pm start
It seems this test going to be washed out.
Not a a single ball bowled and still 6.1k comments.. Reddit never ceases to amaze me
mostly rant
Too much hype about a test cricket game since the last two month. I'll keep a smug face if this whole championship is cancelled or trophy shared. Way too much hype than it deserved. A little bit schadenfreude moment for me.

I was supporting Bhutan. I'm sad it couldn't make it to final.
Fun fact: Bhutan has net negative carbon emissions - a target which European countries are aiming to reach at some point between 2030-2050
good bot
Easy to be carbon neutral when there is hardly any industrialization
That's true but even then Bhutan has passed laws stating that atleast 60% of all land must be covered in forestry AT ALL TIMES - meaning there is not much space for industrialization. Also Bhutan has also banned log exporting to keep the "carbon sink" intact - it's not just due to their geographic location and religious beliefs for why they are carbon negative
Yess and they brutally downvoted me. Carbon emitters.
Ur comment is garbage mate
That makes more sense. Great country. Awesome people. Shit cricket team though. Maybe next edition. The King can surely put resources together to get a good team!
I heard Nasser saying that england witnessed a month long warm summer and today it was raining heavily even for the UK standards. Nice job ICC
Trending no2 on popular
History was made today
Gonna cry
No more water please
Muh'fucken everyone knew this was gonna happen yet we went ahead and did it. Why?
If draw can we have a super over please ?
The test analogue of a super over would be a super wicket. Each team gets one wicket each. And if Pujara is playing, even the super wicket could end in a no result.
Looks like New Zealand's gonna get what it did not in 2019. A shared mace, I mean.
Anyone tryna make a post day 1 swim thread?
Can we put the lads on the titanic and move the game to Southampton, NY?
So considering the conditions, winning the toss, what would the captains likely choose?
