Cricket fans: great question from my son 14:28 - Nov 29 with 620 views | Nthsuffolkblue | Can you declare in a T20 match? Did make me think is there any scenario where it would be advisable? A massive total with overs left and a poor weather forecast? | |

Cricket fans: great question from my son on 15:03 - Nov 29 with 557 views | gainsboroughblue | Not in ODI's or International T20's I don't think. Possibly due to a number of reasons including betting irregularity probes, broadcasters getting the hump along with fans who have paid money to see a full number of overs etc. Domestically, I'm not so sure. Don't think there is anything stopping batsmen from retiring out though. | |

As the OP says, in the event known weather. e.g. you need a win. you are 150 for 2 after 15 overs. The satellite says it is 100% going to rain in 45 minutes. If the oppo don’t bat for at least 5 overs the game will be drawn. Ridiculously improbable. But not impossible. | | | |

Yes, but only (I think) after 5 overs of the reply. Game is void otherwise. | | | |
