UPDATE: England vs India Manchester Test cancelled

[express bowling]

With COVID cases still being reported, why is England allowing outsiders to come near the cricketers and support staff ??

 

Jarvo could run into the field.

 

A spectator was allowed to come near Shami for cutting his birthday cake.

 

England is partly responsible for this fiasco too.

 

Shastri and Kohli have been irresponsible too, as has been our tour manager.

 

It is a collective failure from both the parties.

[Gollum]

Did England forfeit matches when they had corona cases in their RSA tour? No they just cancelled remaining matches. I want us to drag ECB through the mud for this arrogant response.

Which is an apt punishment for the Jokers Kohli & Shastri, even if it’s unreasonable…

Shashtri Kohli are arseholes but As per ECB rules itself, throughout the season, various divisions were allowed to cancel the match if few players were supposed to quarantine due to corona.

Very good point !

 

No way should the BCCI allow a deferment of this tour.

 

The ECB have been part responsible for this fiasco too.

 

If the test match can't be played tomorrow, the tour should be considered fully concluded.

There is no evidence to suggest that Shashtri got it bcos he attended a book unveiling.

 

Imo its ECBs fault and BCCI should claim IPL damages if our players become positive under ECBs watch

We played England home series without any cases and under strict bubble. There is no such thing in England. They don't have any bubble st hotel too. Infection could have come from anywhere. People are just Guessing it came from book unveiling but all players were there.

none, colonial mindset of MCC, those yellow teeth, tea sipping old tarts, looking down upon brown Indians, how can they dictate terms to us, the inventors of the sport.. tumhara sar hamara jhutti

ECB & firangis can go suck them donkey balls - forfeit, yeah right

All studies. Open air and sun light doesnt allow virus to survive. In outdoor you have to be less than 6 feet from an infected person and be talking/sneezing for over 20 minutes to have a very very small chance of getting it

It is less likely in open spaces but if a person, who can infect, comes very close and coughs or sneezes then there is still risk of transmission.

Only lifts are common areas in hotels, otherwise there is no chance of any interaction with others for over 20 minutes (time needed to ne infected)

Exactly, I think book unveiling is just a way to deflect blame for ECBs failure to provide safe bubble. Is Shashtri incharge of secure bubble. How come security allowed it.
