LFC Cricket Bashing Thread

Lots of talk of pulling out to protect the players for the ipl that starts in 10 days time.

Does seem odd, no player has tested positive. They all test negative, if they’ve been vaccinated then just go play the game

 

What a ****ing mess

 

Thanks .

 

I guess they fear getting it, then getting stuck here in quarantine and miss the start of the IPL.

 

Which if true is very poor but would show that money talks.

 

Well, we know it already does with players missing international games to play in the IPL and schedules moved to take into account the IPL.

 

On our board there is talk that the BCCI are trying to get tgexresukt changed to 2-1 and they will pay 20million . Something to do with the 5th game that will be delayed ( aka never happen) .

 

The ECB statement initially said India, who lead the series 2-1, forfeited the final Test and the series was drawn 2-2. The statement was later amended to say: "India are regrettably unable to field a team."

The result of the series is unclear.

"The result is not one for today," ECB chief executive Tom Harrison told BBC Test Match Special. "Thoughts will turn to that soon.

"It's a decision for the International Cricket Council, in the context of the World Test Championship.

"It's about making the right decision, given what has taken place, and about being fair to each side. That process will take place over the coming weeks. It is not something that concerns us unduly."

The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) says it has made an offer to the ECB to reschedule the match.

"Both the boards will work towards finding a window to reschedule this Test match," read a BCCI statement.

"The BCCI and ECB held several rounds of discussion to find a way to play the Test match. However, the outbreak of Covid-19 in the Indian team contingent forced the decision of calling off the Old Trafford Test match.

"The BCCI has always maintained that the safety and well-being of the players is of paramount importance and there will be no comprise on that aspect."

India are due to travel to England to play three Twenty20 and three one-day internationals in July next year, presenting one opportunity for a Test to be played.

"Hopefully we can get it on at some other time," said Harrison. "Clearly it's not going to be the same as having a fifth Test after four brilliant matches."

 

I think they only fair thing is for India for forfeit and the series be drawn.

 

And I agree

 

There will be a solution that ultimately favours India . Cash is king .

 

Yeah, no way India can claim a series win here. Not being biased, they would deserve to win the series, but they've effectively cancelled what is still a deciding test, so forfeit and draw is the only sensible outcome.

 

I agree 100% but I bet there is an outcome where India are declared series winners . I DO NOT WANT THAT SCENARIO !!!

And has been mentioned , they all tested negative yesterday !

 

England destroying West Indies in first game of the t20 WC

 

55 all out. Would be very england to lose this game… Should walk it. Just say to Roy and Bairstow go smash a quick fire 25 from 10 balls and be done with it

 

They obviously didn’t listen to me properly.

 

Absolute hammering of the Aussies

Won with 51 balls to spare

 

Just brilliant hitting abs some great bowling. England on a diff level to most teams when it comes to ODI and T20

 

This tournament really is only going to fire in the semi finals.
