If you are 2-1 up at half time in a football match you don't get to just go home and claim the win with the 2nd half still to go.The worst scandal is England claming this series as a 2-2 draw
Again I ask, can you walk me through the logic of how cancelling the last test benefits the players to participate in the IPL? The test as originally scheduled I mean. I understand a delayed start would clash with the IPL.If you are 2-1 up at half time in a football match you don't get to just go home and claim the win with the 2nd half still to go.
They want to go home and and play ipl instead and not finish the series they signed up to. That's fine but you don't get to claim a win
Can we also blame England team for leaving India after Mumbai attack in 2008 ?If you are 2-1 up at half time in a football match you don't get to just go home and claim the win with the 2nd half still to go.

The Test would have run until the 14th. If they caught Covid during it they would miss the start of the IPL on the 19th. It's a precaution rather than a direct benefit.Again I ask, can you walk me through the logic of how cancelling the last test benefits the players to participate in the IPL?

If you want. Others may prefer to credit England for coming back and playing the tests a bit later, especially as the UK's role in the 'war on terror' may have made them a prime target for the psychopaths.Can we also blame England team for leaving India after Mumbai attack in 2008 ?
Genuine question- how does not playing this test benefit the Indian players in playing the IPL? Don’t quite follow the logic there. I can understand the benefit from avoiding playing the delayed test match but what benefit is there from canceling the originally scheduled game?
And India too is willing to play an additional test next year .If you want. Others may prefer to credit England for coming back and playing the tests a bit later, especially as the UK's role in the 'war on terror' may have made them a prime target for the psychopaths.
Sure, but I was just answering your question. I'm pretty sure that I haven't commented on India's decision either way, whatever my views of their domestic cricket arrangements.And India too is willing to play an additional test next year .
They can't come back to play cricket because their schedule is already packed. Let's not forget, Indian team has been in England for last 100 days. Maybe they are mentally fatigued and don't want to catch covid from their team mates.
Yes mate. 5-0 to England seems more appropriate. Refusal to play should be an automatic 5-0 loss. We probably still wouldn't reach the WTC though.The worst scandal is England claming this series as a 2-2 draw
I think that would be a fair thing to request in the face of team staff contracting COVID even if the IPL weren’t on tbh. I think theegyptian’s explanation makes more sense. I didn’t realise there was some overlap between the IPL starting and the test.The Test would have run until the 14th. If they caught Covid during it they would miss the start of the IPL on the 19th. It's a precaution rather than a direct benefit.
That being said my sympathy kind of ebbs away after hearing of this book signing. Regardless of whether any protocols were broken, it seems kinda reckless of Shastri, Kohli and co to be at a public book launch with lots of members of the public inside without masks. The 'we were worried about covid and our families' argument seems to be undermined by book launch and how quickly they've left for the IPL.
"They" being the illuminati who developed Covid in order to trigger the new world order - I bet they are. I think this was the end-game, to deprive India of a blemish-free series win in England.All this has completely ruined my weekend in lockdown. I hope they're happy.
End game was clearly to **** up my weekend and they've succeeded. Well done BCCIlluminati/ECBilluminati"They" being the illuminati who developed Covid in order to trigger the new world order - I bet they are. I think this was the end-game, to deprive India of a blemish-free series win in England.
Also it sucks you don't get the satisfaction of a proper series win, although I'd argue it was one"They" being the illuminati who developed Covid in order to trigger the new world order - I bet they are. I think this was the end-game, to deprive India of a blemish-free series win in England.
