Oh damn, they’re going off for rain…. flok!
South Africa come off 1 short of a draw if they don’t come back on because of the rain. With the DL method here.
Thunderstorms always mess it up in the highveld. If it is huge storm they wont be back. Now just hoping the rain is not that heavy.
208 – GBS if they never came off for rain we were well on our way to a win. Bugger the thunderstorms up there drive me nuts. Now that can cost us.
