***Official*** 5th Test at Old Trafford, Manchester - 10th-14th of September

[neerajchopra]

Lol at all the English crying. Its not a forfeit guys.

Face it, IPL is more important than English test cricket and your own board thinks so. And now all your players are gonna play in the IPL for the merriment of the Indian public.

The Suez canal crisis of cricket where the new big boy shows England their place in the world.

Lol no it won't, someone was murdered on the field in a test in 1973 and no one even talks about that now.

wait what?

Course it is a forfeit, you chose not to play as the IPL takes priority.

Shameful behaviour from India.

 

[sunilz]

BCCI wanted the test to be played.
Players refused fearing covid and losing IPL income.

 

[mr_mister]

biggest tragedy is Moeen might not get another series and be stranded just shy of 200 wickets

You saying its a forfeit doesn't make it a forfeit.

That's like Australia claiming the 2019 Ashes cause Stoke was lbw.

Show me the OFFICIAL scorecard which shows Eng won the 5th test and the series is 2-2. Something by the ICC even.

Something similar to this:

India should have had a team of waiters on standby in case anything happened to the first team like they did for the series decider in Australia.

 

[neerajchopra]

Let me guys gonna give you a preview of what else is gonna happen this decade.

By 2030-35 there will be a 24 team IPL with a 6 months international window. There will be a lot of crying and wailing a s we get to that point but that's what will make it sweeter.

 

[vandem]

Tbf it would be a forfeit at any other level. In amateur league you might get a sympathetic hearing if a lot of players caught covid. But "we've all tested negative for covid... but some of us have Concerns!" is a forfeit, a fine, and expulsion if it happens more than once.

So you think England should have been fined, with an expulsion warning, for coming home early from South Africa?

Relax man... the others are just ganging up on you as you seem to be emotional about this. They know their place in cricket.

 

[neerajchopra]

lol is it really

Yes. Not based in reality but wishful thinking.

It's not a forfeit unless it's officially a forfeit.

Anderson saved the embarrassment of losing at his home ground.

Will now go to Aus, average 40 and then retire at the end of it.

 

[Uppercut]

So you think England should have been fined, with an expulsion warning, for coming home early from South Africa?

Yeah. Also Giles should have been caned and Root should have been tarred and feathered.

 

[Shri]

just steal the trophy and put it on the plane. they can have it back when we get kohinoor back

I don’t actually understand this. What exactly was the reason for the cancellation?

didn’t the players test negative?

Physio tested positive yesterday. Physio interacted with players, most specifically Rohit and Pujara in the last 2-3 days. Covid has an incubation period.
