Sand stops play is pretty hilarious,come to think of it.
And Vaneisa Baksh IS a fine cricket writer.Thankfully,common sense prevailed in the end.
Shivender,
Chris Weston is a little bit of a special child,if you know what I mean.He/She(Chris Evert was female wasn’t she) will most probably submit 20 different comments telling you why he’s/she’s right & the entire world conspires against him/her.Ignore.
Are you presently in Himachal or are you a permanent Himachal resident?
Absolutely love the place.I hope there will be international cricket there someday.They made the Quarters in the Ranji trophy,didn’t they?

Isn’t the ICC also responsible as the administrative body of the game?What role do they play here?
Another question that entered my mind was that didn’t the windies team, who bowled more than the per day quota of 90 overs,deserve some prize money from the ICC?How often do such situations present themselves in this game?Teams always get penalised for being a few overs short.Here the windies were a few overs up.Unbelievable in these times.

Chris, tut-tut.
It’s safe to say you’re in atrocious form.

Like the fact that a test has been added.Now I can continue lazing around in the very cold nights here.

Ahem….Chris Weston-St John’s ground and the ARC ground or the ARC, are the same thing.lol.
Hope you know what you’re talking about.
I can safely assure you, the ARG has played host to more than 1 test.
You probably mean the Sir Vivian Richards Stadium which is at North sound in Antigua.
LOL.

That no-one in the WICB seems to believe this is a resigning issue is incomprehensible. After the farce at Sabina Park a few years ago, you would think that everything would be triple-checked at a ground like the ARC where only one Test has been played.

Let’s hope that the condition of the St John’s ground doesn’t result in any injuries and that a decent game of cricket can take place.

I also hope, with a fair amount of trepidation, that the ECB don’t end up looking similarly foolish when the Ashes come to Sophia Gardens this year. I remain doubtful that a proper Test wicket can be prepared so quickly.

Hi guys.
IMO this is even more tragic than it appears.Poor windies looked like doing some amount of damage to the english team.These are my semester holidays so I can shamelessly laze around doing nothing/sleeping the whole day and watch TV/test cricket at night.Love watching Gayle bat.Now i will have to make some other late night programme.
Not good.Not good at all.
