Does baseball get delayed, interrupted, abandoned for rain? Curious, because cricket does. #cricket #sport

@AnOldGuy the biggest difference between #Baseball and #cricket on this front is if a cricket match is rained out, that's it, its recorded as a no result (or some kind of magic formular DLRS thing) while baseball game is rescheduled. That's usually the next day with a "double header" where they play two games in the same day. If 5 innings or more have been completed it is considered a "complete game" and the score at that time is the final score.

Also places that have a fair bit of rain usually play professional baseball in indoor stadiums. More common now-a-days are stadiums with retractable roofs so that it is open air when the weather nice out, but if it looks like rain they close the roof (or super-hot like in Texas/Florida in the summer so they can crank the A/C on).

Just casual, garden-variety bigotry. No big deal.

(Comment on a BBC article about the upcoming USA-England Cricket match, saying American cricketers are not "proper Americans" but "plastic ones" because they are immigrants.)

Once again, live charting the cricket:

#T20 #Cricket #CANvPAK

It's a must win game for Pakistan, they're already unlikely to get out of the group stage, but if they don't win here then they're going home.

Canada, on the other hand. If they win they have a great chance of going through.

Looking forward to live-charting this afternoon's #ICC #Cricket World Cup game ... #RSAvBAN

Continuing to improve the automation of the process ...

In the #ICC Men's #Cricket World Cup, if Australia beats Namibia, and then loses to Scotland, then Scotland and Australia would go through to the knock-out stage, and England would not.

Would Australia deliberately field a weaker team against Scotland? Would they quietly lose to Scotland with a lot of small errors that could be attributed to carelessness or a lack of attention?

The #GameTheory strategy is actually pretty clear ...

@ColinTheMathmo (a) All players named in the squad for the tournament are "top" from the rules point. But a team cannot *deliberately* select "weaker" players and *claim* to rest others. The deliberate part makes it a violation.

(b) "Giving the appearance of trying their best while not actually doing so" is also a violation. Though done to lose, such conduct is as bad as doctoring the ball or juicing the bat to win.

I understand your Game Theory point. Just that it doesn't apply to #Cricket.

Has anybody heard the official interpretation of the first tiebreaker in the #cricket #T20WorldCup, which is (if teams are level on points) "a) The team with the greatest number of wins in its Group will be placed in the higher
position". Does a Super Over count as a win or a tie for that purpose? Otherwise the only way teams could be level on points but not on wins would be if someone had two no results. https://images.icc-cricket.com/image/upload/prd/euhohq8vpgzi0urumg3y.pdf

"The bar just keeps getting lower in American politics. If it gets much lower, we’ll all be in the gravel pit with #Cricket."

The USA Cricket program didn’t exist ten years ago. It was program that was dormant for many years until its revival in 2017. Impressive turn of events yesterday and yes it’s just a win but a win against an absolute powerhouse program. Our country is very much so a Minnow in the cricket sea. #Cricket #T20WorldCup #T20

Game over!

Chuffs 28-0.

"USA beating Pakistan at Cricket. Nothing suspicious about that."

The USA have a good opportunity to beat Pakistan here. 24 for 0 after 3 overs chasing 160.

They'll struggle against stronger teams but the US have a cracking fielder in Jasdeep Singh #cricket #T20WorldCup

Still no Surrey membership card. If it isn't here by Thursday I'm jibbing the Oval on Friday. They're trying to force members to use their silly app. They can shove it up their arse. 🏏 #Cricket #CountyChampionship
