**** India V Australia - The not so important 7th ODI ****

inspection 11.30am uk time....prospects not good

I would have to agree after seeing the completed match market.

go the washout .. series correct score betting markets will be voided ;) :D

oh nuts. Just got in to the office after traffic delay. was looking forward to a day of nothing but watching meaningless cricket ;-(

Now I'll have to do some work - or something ;-)

players havent even left the hotel yet.

If I was a betting man I'd say there is a 0% chance of play looking at the size of that ferkorf Cyclone which is inching closer.

Indian Met Office site is down at the moment which means you cant read the current cyclone report, but yesterday's info was that it would hit landfall at around 9.00pm local time. The fact that it has rained hard and is still raining would mean a minor miracle for 20 overs a side imo :|

Add to that the media reports for locals not to leave their homes, you wouldnt fancy the chances

Plus given the series score doubt there will be enormous will from either side to get a game in even if things do clear up later

A 5 over a side slog would be interesting.

Also impossible ;)

that's T20 groover

Match called off officially

haha TwoTonTed
... u said what I was about to say... ;) :(

anyone else want to put a bullet in their own head when listneing to harvey speak?

The clearer thinkers want to put a bullet in Harvey's head

ffs sky really should put

HIGHLIGHTS

in big letters on the screen! turned the box on and was just about to make a bet LOL

head in hands man for gvl :D

:^0

:D

A wee bit of life in the completed match market suddenly. 1.01 re-appears

talk of just drizzle now on cricinfo they don't seem to think it is a problem if it stops raining

4.15pm Amodh: "I am just outside the stadium and it has stopped raining. It hasn't rained for past 15-20 minutes." But let me remind you, no inspection before 5pm

Oh, I thought the match had been called off officially :0

what time is the latest they can start?

5pm inspection but the match call off was just someone putting it on this thread. Not officially off from what I see and certainly not according to the CMM.

Jacob is usually on the money

Sky showing pictures - heavy cloud, covers still on but super soppers going up and down.

Probably going down to the wire

Now the rain has stopped. Sky seems to be clear. Artificial lights are on. Soon mopping up operations will be under way. We will keep you updated

cmm just got wiped down to 1.01 - now being pushed up again

Someone knows something :0

I got a quid on at 360 so I hope they're willing to have a thrash about but it's 20 overs per side minimum isn't it.

I assume its the eye of the cyclone passing over? Wheres TTT when you want a view ;)

looks clear now on the satellite to me, although my weather predictions should come with a health warning.
maybe the pitch is too wet.

Cricinfo says if no play by 5pm (20 mins) it will be called off - seems early

http://www.cricinfo.com/india/content/current/story/433907.html

Mumbai airport - which had said no rain for last 2 hours - now says its raining :(

1.01 just matched again - I feel someone knows :(

ffs, I've got swine flu and fancied falling asleep in front of the cricket, occasionally waking up and having a little bet.

Now what I am going to sleep in front of and bet on???

38k says off :0

Yeh I think the same although I'm loathe to give up my 360.0 voucher.

Ahhhhh. I think that's the answer on cmm.

40k says it's not ;)

looks like the optimistic keep putting up 1.01 - and Mr In the know keeps taking it :D :D :D

called off. officially

COVERS COMING OFF

cheers bkk

I trusted Mr 38k more than Wardy ;)

some poor form on here today

Are we sure this is official?

Tv just showed covers coming off.

Hope that wasnt directed at me GALS

I'm on the indian cricket forums too and can see nothing official. All along they've said no inspection before 5pm (10 mins away)

Covers were coming off, although place is probably soaked. I gave the insider a score just for a laugh.

If it isnt someone is digging themselves a very big home :0

hole even :D

Cheers Lori. Knew i wasnt seeing things

and the other one is building themselves a very big home IB

my 1.01 lay of a couple of quid was taken in a heart beat ;)

check out the times now news channel. they have match called off.

I've stuck a lay in for a fiver @ 1.01

Surely with no more rain, if they get it ready by 2.00pm - they would have time for a 20/20?

Their favourite format remember....

It was directed at no-one in particular chepster.

I believe you BKK, I know you arent a ramper

Market wont believe it till they see Sachin going to deep backward square in a submarine :D

Reminds me of the Ind v Aus game at Centurian, Probst and others were reporting a lake there yet people were pushing price out to 1.3 :D

Players: Mushtaq Ahmed | Marcus Trescothick
Teams: Somerset

Mushtaq Ahmed was our overseas player at Somerset for a while in the nineties.

There was this one time when it had been raining all afternoon and we were all very, very bored. If you know Mushy, he could sometimes get to be a very annoying little character, especially on a day like that when you're stuck in the change room and it's pouring. So a bunch of us, I think we were eight in all, decided to do something about him.

We put him down on a chair and wrapped him around with tape so he couldn't move at all. We then carried the chair and stuck it in the middle of the pitch and had a little laugh at him. He stayed there for about 10 minutes before managing to escape and came back running - and wet - back to the change room. He was shouting a lot but it's probably not worth repeating!

Something has spooked the market!

Jacob isn't a ramper either fwiw although he got it wrong earlier

Few minutes to go for the inspection

If they announce another inspection at 1.00pm GMT - there will be carnage on here!

77 sunset strip :0

Where did you get your info from KK ?

Its a lucky number ;)

1.02 back in play :0

Just need 5 Indian Air Force copters hovering over the groung for an hour - game on!

Ricky and the team went home with Watson and Johnson last night ;)

Times now says it's likely to be called not off, not that it has.

Big difference

one of the indian news channels reporting called off. times now.

NDTV reporting game called off

Theres the rain again

ABANDONED!!!

think that's confirmed

ok cheers. Ho hum

Amazed people thought somebody with a random 50k was happy to back no game at 1.01 didnt know the game was off :0

Aaach

Could it not have held off for ten freakin minutes :D

abandoned for sure.

gutted if you backed correct series scores 5-3 or 4-3 Australia , great If you backed any other correct score !!!!!

unders and overs melt down

I had 50p on 5-3 at 50,000-1 mate :|

o dear S Y :(

but I done my nuts on India series victory when it was 2-2 . would have gutted had india won in Guwahati, cos obviously the series would have ended up drawn 3-3 !!!!
