That umpire is a dog. That was no mistake. Raining at my house now. It must be hosing down at HSC.

I'm absolutely heart broken for the Scottish. Gutted for you lads, you've played some absolutely amazing cricket and deserve to be there

Surprised everyone’s struggling with the scenarios.
The only thing I cannot account for is the intricacy if the NRR.
First and foremost. We win we are in. Not up for debate.
But Zimbabwe being zim we we need to look at our insurance policies.
The real threat here is a rainout.
That is where the windies win helps us. They are on6 points with a higher NRR. They go through it’s not an issue and Scotland’s lost condemns them to remain on just 5 points.
We then go to 6 alongside the Ireland and afg winner.
Then we need our *52 NRR to hold.
If Afg win, due to their bad NRR we should be ok.
If Ireland win its trouble, but not if it’s a close game.
Also if we lose, provided it’s not by much, the windies win means we will progress should there be a rainout in the afg/Ireland game. Both will only progress to 5 points.
The first scenario is what I’m keeping my eye on.

Heavy rain expected tomorrow as well. So its all likely winner of IRE AFG match will go to 2019

It’s not fair man. That was an act of God and ICC. There was blue sky all around and one heavy cloud over HSC, now it’s triggered most of the sky over the capital. It’s dark and gloomy everywhere. It actually felt like it was going to hail. Huge heavy cold drops.

The weather looks absolutely diabolical tomorrow in H town
Re: [Series Thread]: 2018 ICC World Cup Qualifier | Non-Zim Matches
I’m just telling you that an overcast rainy morning is highly unlikely. We had an extended weather pattern like that earlier this month and haven’t experienced that sort of weather for many years. I’m willing to bet we will get the game started. The toss will be imperative and whoever bats second can keep an eye on DL.
