Rain, Rain Go Away, Let the Poor World Cup Get Some Play

By Muhammad YaseenPublished On 06 Jan 2023

As eagle-eyed readers will have spotted, Sri Lanka have been worst affected by the great British summer.
It sadly seems unlikely that we are completely done with washouts.
The 2019 Cricket World Cup was billed as the chance to revitalise the fortunes of the sport in the UK.

With the India and New Zealand match having dark rainy clouds looming over it and getting called a washout, cricket fans are now driving their frustration into memes to bash the ICC over the disorganized tournament.

"Factoring in a reserve day for every match at the ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup would significantly increase the length of the tournament and practically would be extremely complex to deliver."

With three matches getting declared abandoned due to rain without a single ball bowled while others getting shortened, the International Cricket Council is now facing the wrath of fans through humorous and rib-tickling memes that bring forth a sunny side to the overcast situation.

While better weather is on the horizon, it sadly seems unlikely that we are completely done with washouts, with most worryingly Sunday’s titanic clash between India and Pakistan currently forecast to have a 40% chance of rain. For more latest news Pakistan, visit 9newshd.tv
