Looks like a right shambles.
I bet it's called off.
Shah and Jimmy A back in, not sure about Shah at 3 though, should have dropped Cook, stick Belly in at no 2 and bump the others up and bat Shah at 5 imho.

The West Indies Cricket Board couldn't organise a piss up.
Apparently they were warned months ago by the ground staff, that the ground would not be ready for the test match, so that's the second time they've had a match abandoned in 11 years.

Hotel will be there in a couple of months, what a farce.
Surely the match ref/umpire should be checking on the state of the pitch days before the game.

When I was a lad we used to play on concrete, with rocks and a plank with a nail in, against a garage wall. If you went out first ball you got nail-planked.

When I was a lad we played against an old dustbin for a wicket and a tennis racket for a bat, we used tennis balls, and would keep averages throughout the summer ... oh the innocence of youth in my days, now I think back oh so lucky to have lived in an era when games were fun!! |

Isnt the sir viv richards ground the one they used for stanford millions thing/stanford 20-20, and is only a couple of years old. the recreation ground ground staff are just about as useful as those planks of wood with nails in shoved in your eyes.
even though theres no cricket,its more exciting than last time we played in antigua and lara bored everyone to death getting that 400n.o.

This ground was built for the ill fated World Cup....Stanford has his own ground which he originally built for his employees to use. |

If the ICC had any balls, they should make the Windies forfeit the game, as it was their incompetance which caused the game to go ahead, when anyone with half a brain could see the outfield was not fit for purpose, unless you were playing beach cricket!!
But then again we are talking about the ICC, who themselves are not fit for purpose.

That would be only England's only hope of actually claiming a win in this series. Let's be honest the ICC wouldn't be that kind to us. |
