Ohh dear, what a quick change in the weather. The sun was shining brightly moments back and now it’s absolutely pelting down here at St.Lucia. It’s coming down in buckets and alongwith it, the wind is blowing at a rampant pace.
The wind is so hard that the groundsmen are finding it tough to bring the extra covers on and keep the already positioned ones intact. This is a rare sight, what an awful combination, strong wind with torrential rains!
Update 16:30 GMT: Still nothing positive from the ground. We can only wait as of now.
Update 16:35 GMT: And some good news finally, it has stopped raining but the covers are still on. The outfield is very damp, no big puddles around though, that’s good to know.
Update 16:55 GMT: Not the best of news as the umpires have decided to come out for another inspection in an hour’s time from now. The outfield has taken a lot of water and the groundsmen have a tough task ahead of them.
Update 17:45 GMT: And the umpires have decided to call off this match. The cut off time is still one and a half hours away but the umpires after having a chat with the groundsmen have come to a conclusion that there won’t be anymore play possible today. There’s more rain heading towards the ground, the outfield can’t be dried up before the cut off time. Disapppointing way to end the series but then we all were prepared for this, the forecast wasn’t promising and it never looked like we will have a game today.
However the Indians would not mind this, they would be happy for the fact that they have won yet another ODI series, their fifth in a row. Gayle on the other hand would be cursing his luck, weather interruptions can be the most frustrating way to lose a game or a series.
Match abandoned due to incessant rain
India win the series 2-1
