At least we can't lose today

how can they mame such a ground after such a great cricketer

Seems they are considering piling down the ARG to get it on.

That was what I'd sort of guessed they were looking at. Wonder what they'll do with regards to the teams. New game starting tomorrow, but over 4 or 5 days?

I've never seen a Test finish after Day 1 anyway.

Sabina Park, 1998? I know it was abandoned, but I wonder how that shows up in the record books.

I know a guy who's gone he won't be best pleased. He's a miserable bugger at the best of times

If you've paid a couple of grand as an england fan on one of those organised tours, you're going to be spitting bloody feathers aren't you?

Whilst I agree, I'm sure a few rum & cokes by the pool in glorious sunshine will help a little

if the first test hadn't bee such a disaster result-wise, sure.

I reckon the majority will be at their wits' end.

so englands 7-0 doesnt count. thats about 14% of their 2nd innings total in the last test so in other words pretty disastrous

The groundsman at the ARG doesn't think they can get the ground ready in time. TV company need 3 days to de-rig at SVRS and rig up the ARG.

I presume Mr Stanford won't be offering the WICB use of his stadium.

One of the rumours on the BBC is that they're going to dig up some turf from the ARG and bring it over to the SVRS. Can't see it happening myself, but who knows?

I hope it goes to the ARG.

Chickies Disco rides again.

what a joke its become

Indeed, and the only people to blame at the moment are the WICB, the LICA, the ACA and the curator at the SVRS.

According to Sir Beefy they've gone to the ARG for a look round and they could start on Sunday.

According to Sir Beef the staff at the SVRS told whoever back in November the ground wouldn't be ready in time.

It's a complete farce.

too right

The test will restart on Sunday at the ARG.

That beach was an absolute disgrace. How they can be expected to play cricket on that...

Call it off and award England the test

3 f---ing days? I know it's a relxaed atmos out there, but bloody hell.

What this proves above all else is that prisoners make the best ground staff. This would never have happened at the Rec.

They'll need to get their asses moving then, what's the W.Indies motto? "Chill man, I'll do it later"

I wouldn't be best pleased if I'd booked x number of nights in a hotel in Antigua before flying off to Barbados for the next one, and now it's all changed
