We have much better facilities back home in India. These idiots cant even afford covers or enough ground staffs....aur world cup host karna hai. Waah! Cant wait for India to smash England now.

Austin 3:!6 Posted June 15, 2019 Share Posted June 15, 2019 ECB is viewing WC as a cash cow, not a responsibility. Its all about what they can extract from it ($$$). Correct. But if they cant offer minimum 30 overs play....they need to refund all tickets. It will be ICC refunding though....ECB will be safe Sent from my SM-G950F using Tapatalk Link to comment

cowboysfan Posted June 15, 2019 Share Posted June 15, 2019 this sucks so bad,basically we would have lost a game in the points column when we could be undefeated and almost assured of a SF berth,now we have no room for a loss. Link to comment
Austin 3:!6 Posted June 15, 2019 Share Posted June 15, 2019 From next world cup....ICC must inform boards to build sheds in the stadium. There should be no world cup match that don't have a terrace cover. And if boards cant afford it...they should have no right to host world cup.Sent from my SM-G950F using Tapatalk Link to comment

It rained heavily during the day here. Stopped raining now. The forecast is rain @ 4pm tomorrow. If the outfield gets ready in time, we should get a match. Needless to say, decision making after winning the toss is vital... Edited June 15, 2019 by asterix nitinbwj, randomGuy and maniac 1 2 Link to comment

The ground staff were using the old school sponges Cricket administration in general is filled with incompetence, corruption and politicsSorry but what are you trying to imply? I am not only blaming stadiums in UK and agree cricket administration everywhere needs to get better. But then not covering the entire ground in a place like Eng where it almost rains every odd day is a height of mis management. 3 matches in this world cup got abandoned due to wet patches on the field and not for rain. Now its raining in Manchester and even if its sunny tomorrow morning, they cant start the game on time bcoz of wet outfield courtesy overnight rain. By the time groud dries up and umpire comes for inspection, rain reappears. This is happening way too often and its the responsibility of ICC/Hosting boards to ensure proper facility before hosting an event like world cup. And its not only the first time its happening in Eng, it rained in CT 2013 where final became a t20 shootout, Aust got screwed due to rain in CT 2017 etc etc. Many people paid 10 times more than the face value for tickets of this match, fans have travelled many parts of the world specifically for this game. Considering the magnitude of the even ECB should have been more vigilant rather than thinking only about $$$.Sent from my SM-G950F using Tapatalk Link to comment

Sent from my SM-G950F using Tapatalk I am saying ICC is incompetent to set standards but BCCI which can set a high standard because it owns ICC is equally incompetent as well. We could have shown the world how it is done. Not defending ECB they are obviously useless as well Link to comment

Austin 3:!6 Posted June 15, 2019 Share Posted June 15, 2019 Ok enough of rain talks...looks like it became a weather forum Lets discuss about the game. Bat first or field first considering the conditions? Ideally should bat considering chasing is difficult in this world cup but there will be something for seamers in the morning.Tough call??Sent from my SM-G950F using Tapatalk maniac 1 Link to comment
