The latest announcement is that we're aiming to commence play at 8:25 AEST, which will leave us with a 5 over-per-side match. There is still some slight drizzle, but we've been told the players will play through it, assuming it doesn't get any harder.

FFS as if 20/20 wasn't a big enough joke. 5 overs a side makes a game? How incredibly stupid.

I AGREE AN ABSOLUTE JOKE

i also agree. absolutely ridiculous. what would be a good score? 50? redbacks might be robbed of a win by rain yet again

plus how can adcock bat himself into form ?

Who cares what a good score is. You could pick an eleven from the blokes posting right now that could win a 5 over game. They might not win either but in 5 overs they very well may win. Who knows?

Unfortunately the rain has failed to ease enough, and the match has just been officially called off.

Hooray

Harsh! As bad as he's been in first class cricket he has bullied some district attacks. I know of some blokes that have played against him that simply cannot understand how he doesn't do the same for SA. The guy can play he just doesn't know it himself. That's the problem i think.

What happens if you had a bet on this match?

Might have been a record 20/20 thread if the game had actually gone ahead
