19.50 And that’s that. The game has finally been called off. A real shame but there was no chance it would resume once the rain began with such intensity. Sangakkara was sublime during his half-century, and the game was shaping into a tight contest.
So Sri Lanka and Australia take a point each from the game. Pakistan lead Group A with six points, while Sri Lanka and Australia are level with five points each, though Sri Lanka have played an extra game.
Chennai – England batsman Kevin Pietersen said on Monday he was saddened at having to pull out of the World Cup because he needs a hernia operation.
“Sad to leave India.. Love the people & the hospitality!! Alvida doston (Goodbye friends),” he wrote on his Twitter account.
Earlier, he had confirmed his exit on the social networking site, saying: “Confirming the BREAKING NEWS mate: I fly home tonight. Out of the WC & IPL (Indian Premier League).. Absolutely devastated!!”
The England management have applied to the ICC to have Pietersen replaced by batsman Eoin Morgan.

The ICC has come up with a revised set of guidelines for the way the 2.5m rule in the UDRS will be interpreted that says umpires must also consider the distance between the ball pitching and point of impact. On Sunday, they announced a tweak in the guidelines, allowing on-field umpires to reverse not-out decisions if the replays showed part of the ball to be hitting middle stump, even if the batsman was hit more than 2.5m away. They have now issued a full release about the guidelines umpires will use in the World Cup.
When a not-out lbw decision is reviewed, and the replay shows the ball has made impact more than 2.5m away from the wickets, the umpires also have to consider another factor: the distance the ball has travelled between pitching and hitting the pad. If that distance is less than 40cm, and the ball still has to travel more than 2.5m to reach the stumps, then, it has been decided, any not-out decision given by the on-field umpire will remain not out.
It has also been decided that if the batsman is more than 3.5m down the wicket, then again not-out decisions will not be overturned. The only scenario in which an lbw decision will be reversed in favour of the bowler if the batsman is more than 2.5m away from the wicket is if the distance is less than 3.5m and the distance between pitching and point of impact is more than 40cm. In that case, some part of the ball must be hitting middle stump, and the whole ball must be hitting the stumps below the bails.
That was the case when Yuvraj Singh reviewed a decision against Alex Cusack in Sunday’s tie between India and Ireland, which is why umpire Rod Tucker reversed his decision. The 2.5m rule was not being used in the same way at the start of the tournament, which is why Billy Bowden refused to change his not-out call when Ian Bell had been hit more than 2.5m down the pitch against India, even though Hawk Eye was showing the ball to be hitting middle and leg.
In essence, the new guidelines will allow umpires to reverse decisions where the batsman is plumb and there is no doubt the ball would have hit the stumps, even if the impact is far down the wicket. The reason the 40cm distance is important is because Hawk Eye needs to monitor the ball’s movement for some distance after it has pitched in order to determine where it would have gone after hitting the pad. If a batsman is struck very soon after the ball has bounced, then the accuracy of the prediction as to where the ball would have moved afterwards is not as high.
In cases where the original decision is out, the 2.5m or 40cm distances do not come into play, as in that situation Hawk Eye must show the ball to be completely missing the stumps in order for the umpire to reverse his decision.
The 2.5m rule has been under scrutiny in the tournament so far, but the ICC hopes these guidelines will clear up any confusion and will allow for the rule to be interpreted uniformly by all the umpires during the World Cup. ICC general manager Dave Richardson said the UDRS had allowed for a very high percentage of correct decisions in the World Cup so far, and clarified that the 2.5m rule had not been changed, but they had just put together some guidelines so it could be used consistently. “This is not a change in rules as some people have suggested but a broad guideline which we hope will bring a consistency to the decision making,” he said
N Zealand v Pakistan @ 10:30
Electronics giant Sony has completed the purchase of Hawk-Eye, the British-based company that provides ball-tracking technology in tennis and cricket.
Financial details weren’t disclosed but sections of the British media value Hawk-Eye at around 20 million pounds.
Naomi Climer, vice president of Sony Europe, says Hawk-Eye has developed a worldwide reputation for “resolving close calls in critical sporting situations.”
Hawk-Eye is also used in snooker, while football’s world governing body FIFA could utilize the tracking system as it looks to introduce technology to rule on goalline decisions.
Paul Hawkins, inventor of Hawk-Eye, said Monday the takeover by Sony will create “immense opportunities for the sports industry.”
good day peeps
nz just moered 120 runs off the last 6 overs against pakistan …. 😯
@ Ashley:492 – Ash, they got 100 off the last 4 overs 😯
Now Paki are 45/5 😯
Really not sure if we can believe some of the results in this world cup. 🙄
puma @ 493
match fixing, you mean? 😆
Pakis now 91 / 6 after 23 overs
Of course I’ve picked the Pakis to win on Bru…. then we’re bound to know it will go the other way… hehehe
Pakis just not getting the ball away.. singles here and there
Pakis 108 / 7 after 30 overs
Usually one can double the score at 30 overs and get a feeling for the eventual total… but here we have only 3 wickets left standing.
So they should be a 100 PLUS short of the Black Caps score, even if they do not lose more wickets
Pakis lose another wicket and the fat lady gets off her 2 chairs to warm up her voice so long…
Pakis 125 / 8
Pakis now putitng up a good fight… 17 off the last over
Pakis 166 / 8
Now 121 needed of 67 balls
Pakistan falls… Black Caps win.
@ grootblousmile:501 – gbs, Really not so sure how much we can believe with this cricket. So many shock results. I am suspicious on some of the games.
502@ Puma:
If there are shannanigans going on and it comes out, they can just as well kill cricket… because the game will NEVER be the same again after that.
