We had heavy rain – Ian Ward
The throw between England and South Africa is delayed by rain in Cardiff. Ian Ward said on Sky Sports:
“Unfortunately, here in Cardiff nobody is going to do anything for a while, except under an umbrella or find coverage where possible.
“We had pours. When it has stopped and clarified, more rain has come through. We made progress before it, the last shower hit.
“It is fierce and, unnecessary to say, the throw is delayed, therefore the start of this first T20 is also delayed. This is the scene in Cardiff and it is not beautiful.”
I think we will probably get a reduced game later – Nasser Hussain
In the meantime, Nasser Hussain said that a reduced game is probably on the cards because of the persistent rain in the city. He said:
“The rain was fierce on the train to Cardiff. It is very wet outside.
“The prediction for later in the evening is better, there is supposed to be a sun. But even more heavy rain and I think we might have a hard time. At the moment I think we will probably get a reduced game later.”
David Miller was also discussed about the injury problems of South Africa, is excluded from the T20is of England due to a hamstring injury. Temba Bavuma is also out of cricket because of a trunk, and star -pacer Kagiso Rabada is kept in cotton.
