Dirk Nannes has seriously scary eyes.

Not as scary as this dude (who rocks, btw): YouTube - The X Factor 2009 - Behrouz Ghaemi - Auditions 2 (itv.com/xfactor)

Blewett seems a reasonable summarizer. Should've got him in whilst Warney was playing snap during the first test.

Still looks about twelve too. ****.

OMG that's the first time I've seen that run-out cause I was on holiday. Awesome throw!

 

[stumpski]

This doesn't look good does it ... dunno why they're not throwing the sawdust around though.

 

[four_or_six]

They should either get on with it, or let these people go home and give them their money back. As has been pointed out, it is how it is and it's not going to get any different now.

 

[four_or_six]

Did they not cover the ground up properly or something? Surely that bit should be under a proper cover.

 

[stumpski]

I thought that too, of course the run-ups should be covered (within reason, we're not talking a Michael Holding 30-yard job).

 

[four_or_six]

Seems unlikely they're going to play now.

If they don't get any play, they should refund these people their travel costs too.

Good interview from the Pup, fair play to him.

Match abandoned... why do the officials always piss about for so long?

To be fair to the umpires, I don't think they saw it until they took the hover cover off, which was later than all the other covers.

Poor Bumble, he's really gutted, and pretty angry. He's been such a passionate supporter of Old Trafford getting more international cricket.

 

[Jamee999]

Old person in refusing to realise sport has changed shocker.

 

[four_or_six]

Shocking from the head of Lancs, take some responsibility man.

 

[Nate]

England have a huge whinge in the West Indies when the ground wasn't fit, but hopefully this gets nicely swept under the rug.

 

[four_or_six]

Seriously shouldn't be swept under the carpet, this is almost as bad.

Though it seems as though the head of Lancs has lost his marbles, so perhaps it will be.

RIP Old Trafford as an International ground.

RIP Old Trafford as an International ground.

If only that logic applied to the Ashes Test thieving Welsh after their horrific staging of an ODI - I can't imagine any ground could have rivalled their effort for sheer apathy and incompetence.
