Cricket fan

UAE are a pathetic batting team, look like rabbits in headlights

Rikand

Anwar and Patil the only two really decent looking batsmen they have

The skipper in the press conference has pretty much said they're already thinking about their jobs back home.

Pathetic. Part time or not you're at a WC, make the most of it. We managed upsets in 2007 as amateurs these guys could too, but their attitude is all wrong and they go out onto the pitch in every game having already lost.

They've been the one let down for the Associates IMO, bar vs us and Zim they havent even bothered trying

Rikand

Anwar we need you. All associates need you

Ah here. Take it easy on them. They were always gonna be the weakest of the associates by a distance. You are being unfairly harsh.

Rikand

A ripper!

I'm not expecting them to score 300 or whatever, but they havent shown any intent. Why not play with some freedom. What have they to lose? Not suggesting they go for 6's every ball, but a little aggression wouldnt go amiss, rather than block everything and get bowled out anyway

Wow. Nearly another one gone there. Guess its all down to the lads later.

Rikand

And thats the game

Could they join Canada in the World Cup hall of shame ?

No they are past that, Canada's 36 all out against Sri Lanka in 2003 is the lowest.

Here is the rather dismal card from that game.

And safely past the second lowest, 45, also by Canada against England in 1979.

This is compelling viewing.

At least, the actual rain has only made it as far as Cape Reinga, it's still fine in Whangarei. UAE will have to stay in for the full 50 I think for weather to be of any concern/hope.

What happens if the rain stops the Windies innings if they're short of UAE, but presumably way ahead on the runrate and bearing down on the target?

riffmongous

The rest of the associates havent done their future world cup cause any favours this year
