Hasn't rained in Cairns today and is only 32/33.

I know it will never happen... Unless we play Bangladesh

At least it makes the India v England match more interesting.

Sydney always rains
Melbourne always loses (LELbourne)
Adelaide and brisbane pretty chill but still subjectively showerholes
Darwin, Hobart and Canberra ?????

Perth really is the GOAT Aussie city

Quote8.05 pm It's off. The washout is official. Australia and India will take two points each from this game. Australia were already through to the final, and India are now trailing England by three points. If England beat India in Perth, they are through. If India beat England, India are through. If points are shared, England are through. Simple.

let's ban cricket in Sydney. deal? deal.

Joined this site enthusiastic at a dedicated cricket forum but must say disappointed there is not much activity here embracing any fantasy games or serious cricket banter in general. Tried to get one started a number of weeks ago but amazed on a new cricket fan site did not even get a reply. Anyway joined the new ICC fantasy cricket game and surprised once again to visit here and it is not even mentioned by others. All I read is talk of weather.................
Since when was this a dedicated cricket forum :o

How can we not be serious about our cricket, when the largest thread on a FOOTBALL FORUM is cricket related? And the bigbash thread has of over 100 pages of discussion.

What is this thing you tried to set up? Link please.

Of course the discussion is about the weather when a game is washed out ::)

I read about cricfan being a new forum
That is what I meant.
I removed the fantasy game some time ago as there was no response on a cricket forum that had blog suggesting it was going to be a big cricket forum and also fantasy related.
Cricket Fan is a new website yes, but it only uses the Fan Footy forums.

Take a look here for the fantasy competitions.

There's cricket talk going on. There's a section for cricket fantasy games. I am trying to get a long term domestic comp going, which I most certainly haven't forgotten about and will aim to get to very soon.

This is the ICC World Cup fantasy game? Awesome!

I think however we will move all the discussion into the fantasy board. Calling HP, earth to HP. We need a new board for this :)

I'm very disappointed in Cricket Australia.

Some traditions don't need to be broken. Australia Day in Adelaide should be held in the same regard as Boxing Day in Melbourne and the New Years Test in Sydney.

The fact that Adelaide didn't get AUS Day was just farcical - and CA's reason was that we got Australia's WC QF so we had to sacrifice the AUS Day game for that.

Also, in 12 ODIs this summer, not one is in Adelaide. Perth and Hobart didn't get a Test this summer, but with Sydney getting a second ODI this tri-series, and Melbourne, Brisbane and Hobart getting 1 each, why didn't Adelaide get one at all?!

I guess it was karma that the game got rained out.
