All Rain and No Play
So it was typical English conditions today. After a fortnight of
sunshine, it was intermittent rain since morning at Southampton, England.
After waiting for four hours or so Umpires abandoned first day's
play. Still we can have a match for five more days, courtesy reserve day.
India has already announced their playing eleven. It would be
interesting to see if they still go with two spinners in Ashwin and Jadeja or
go for additional fast bowler, in case this typical English weather continues.
In that case Ravindra Jadeja is most likely to miss.
New Zealand may opt for four pacers.
Let's hope and see if the game does start on time on Saturday
19th.
Cricketing world is hoping for a cracker of a match, with experts
opinions still divided over the Final Champion.
So over to day 2 of 6 days test match now.
