*Official* England in West Indies

[Richard]

Play abandoned for the day. Presumably for the match - it's not going to get any better in a day, having not done for however long they've been preparing.

Let's hope The ARG is fit for play.

Viv Richards understandably very unhappy with this, think this test over...

This ground disgraces the name of Viv Richards....

Nasser asking the hard questions. WAG. Nicholas would be gushing aws.

 

[Precambrian]

Terrible indeed.

 

[Prince EWS]

What an absolute farce.

The only positive to come of this is Nasser's probing interview.

 

[pasag]

Are there any photos of the ground yet?

Nasser asking the hard questions. WAG. Nicholas would be gushing aws.

Agreed. Deserved really.

Could the match ref actually call off the match before it started?

 

[Richard]

Two Tests abandoned in West Indies within 11 years... amazing.

 

[Athlai]

How does this happen in international cricket? Ridiculous.

 

[four_or_six]

Bob enjoying a good rant.

 

[Richard]

Who here remembers Sabina Park 1998?

 

[Nate]

Been a great few hours for cricket. Feel like we're back in the 1950's.

 

[TT Boy]

The West Indian Cricket Board couldn’t organise a piss up a brewery. How could the ICC give these boys the 20/20 World Cup?

 

[Richard]

Bob enjoying a good rant.

I doubt many would argue that he's unjustified here though.

 

[pasag]

Can't imagine how members of the Barmy Army must be feeling, first seeing 51ao and now this after paying so much money to get there.

More like the 1890s.

 

[NUFAN]

The problem is you can't really move to another Test Venue.

West Indies may want to bat first on the other venue.

What I don't get is that West Indies won the Toss and bowled. Surely during the warmups they would have realized that the ground is not fit for bowling, so batting was the way to go..

At least this game hasn't seen three batsmen unfairly losing their wickets, as happened in 1998.

Yeah, remember that, that was crazy. Stewart's innings the best ever 9* in test history.
