Story ProgressBack to home

Persistent rain in Nottingham delayed the start of the World Cup match between India and New Zealand on Thursday. But after the final inspection at 7:30 pm the umpires didn't find the conditions good enough for the play to start and decided to abandon the match, with both teams sharing a point each. The groundstaff at Trent Bridge were kept busy by the stop-start drizzle while the umpires carried out a number of inspections only for the rain to start again. Tournament organisers have faced criticism over their planning of the event after two washouts and one no result, forcing teams to share one point each. Bangladesh coach Steve Rhodes questioned why reserve days were not factored in after his side's fixture against Sri Lanka in Bristol was abandoned without a ball being bowled. International Cricket Council chief executive David Richardson said reserve days for every match would be "extremely complex to deliver". (SCORECARD)
