??? 47 overs ???

Whats going on now I am so confused, are they restarting?

Will Hill have Ireland as 7-1 on to win the match (I backed than at 9-2) so it
is looking good I wil win some money.
They are actually 8-1 on now, it looks like they have restarted play
says Total for 4 wickets 84 (29.0 ovs).

So it is a normal match now?

Edit - I understand it now, it is reduced to 47 overs and also a reduced target of 128

Ireland 16-1 on now :)

You can follow the match ball by ball here. Commentary is uninspiring to say the best but it does the job, I suppose.

Seems that because of the delay, there isn't time to play 50 overs, so we're cutting it to 47 overs. So we need fewer runs to win.

Cricinfo's ball-by-ball is better.

Dont understand why RTE arent showing this.

For those not up to speed on some ofthis. We need to score at about 2 an over for the rest of the match (however long that is). A wicket is the equivalent of losing about 6 runs.

Further wickets lost will affect us how exactly? Will they only come into play if the game is ended prematurely? I didn't quite get what the commentary said two further wickets would do.

How could they? There's only two channels, it's a minority sport and very demanding on air time.

I'll try to explain quickly. There is something called the Duckowrth Lewis method whcih tires to work out how many runs you would score if the innings finished. The 2 key factors are the numbers of overs left and the number of wickets. The idea is you would score at a higher rate the more wickets you have left.

Asd I say the net impact is that we will lose about 6 runs from our expected final score for every wicket we lose.

So is 128 the target or not?

Will it only come into play if there 47 overs aren't reached?

Yes, only if it finishes early

98/4. Couple of fours there. Should settle things.

Yes. As it stands the target is 128 assuming no further interruptions. The umpires will be reluctant to call the players off (or offer Ireland the light) with a result so close.

I think we are 20 runs ahead of target at present

Do those two wickets leave us up the creek if the game ends before its time?

White gone! 113/6. McCallan in now. 15 needed off plenty.
17/03/2007, 9:25 PM

17/03/2007, 9:26 PM

Surely even with the wobble we're more likely that that to win?

One point to remeber is that your weakest batsmen come in last, the last 3 are bowlers primarily

They're saying that the game is likely to go the whole 50 overs on cricinfo - "They are unlikely to go off now. The light is getting no worse so it's through to the finish. Pakistan are looking bullish for the first time in a while ... it's tense" - does that mean we're back chasing 132 then?

Or is "the finish" still the 47 overs?

The finish is 47 overs, However there is no way it will go that far, either we will be bowled out or we'll score it with 3/4 overs to spare.

Is this going to be about the lowest scoring game ever?

I don't see any reference to 50 overs. :confused:
