The BCCI can now rest easy, the IPL is worth £300m to them.
One way or another this Test was never going to happen. We know our place....
As for forfeiting the Test and it being 2-2, the Indians haven't agreed to that yet. They run the World game so they'll have the final say.
Test Cricket RIP.

Yep the IPL is where all the big money is that is for sure.
ICC rules state as far as l know if a side cannot put out a full side they have no option other then to forfeit the match.

Re: English Cricket
I don't follow the cricket but when Iwe dove past on Wednesday and the staff were all beavering away setting up the hospitality area at the front of the grounds. We commented that it was a sign of things starting to get back to normal ...well the new version. The area is usually buzzing on a match day, loads of traffic and hundreds walking to the venue with their umbrellas and cool boxes. I feel sorry that this match can't go ahead so many people will be disappointed.
Hope the Indian team members who have tested positive don't suffer any major complications.

Re: English Cricket

If it isnt Test cricket, it doesnt count as you know old chap
I'm dreading our upcoming Ashes humiliation - OAP bowlers, and batsmen who know how to get out. Still at least they've managed to get their families winter holiday sorted which is the main thing alongside 20/20 contracts.

Re: English Cricket
Scotland going well against Namibia, 2 runs for 3 wickets in first over.
Namibia only have five cricket grounds in the whole country.

Re: English Cricket
Well it might only be T20 cricket but to thrash the Aussies like that is still very sweet.

Re: English Cricket
Terrible toss decision, terrible team selection. Didn't see Leach spin one ball where as Lyon turned it square.
It's a going be a long month, Root - good batsman, awful captain.

Re: English Cricket
The Ashes are as good as gone. Not that we had them anyway. Why aren't we playing our fastest bowler? Just a load of medium pacers plus Root. The Aussies are terrified (not).
