Be done by drinks at this rate.

Incoming collapse.

Absolutely awful. What is it with our mindset.

Bumrah is bowling incredibly well.

chroniclard · 6 Sep 2021 at 14:21

Right, turning off. :cry:

Reckon if Root stays this could go down to the last ball still (for a draw), just needs someone to hold the other end.

It's just not Cricket...

England v India 2021: Fifth Test at Old Trafford cancelled amid Covid-19 concerns - BBC Sport

Absolutely disgraceful to call this off. Announced last night it was going ahead and now it’s cancelled? Yea ok..nothing to do with the IPL in 10 days.

Zeebedy · 10 Sep 2021 at 10:41

Yeah, was really looking forward to this match. :mad:

andicole0 · 10 Sep 2021 at 10:44

It was probably going to rain anyway

Unable to field a team = default win for England surely?

Wonder if that happened when England pulled the same for the ODI series with South Africa.

That was when vaccines werent really floating about and players were testing positive. a lot has happened in 10 months. No players have tested positive and it was confirmed last night it was going ahead only for it to be cancelled this morning? Nonsense.

CGrieves · 10 Sep 2021 at 16:42

Wow- cancelled two hours before scheduled start of play. That's outrageous- there would have been thousands of fans travelling from all over the UK.

There has to be more to this than meets the eye. Utterly disgraceful for fans and the ECB should have stuck to their guns and called it a forfeit.

nine_tails · 11 Sep 2021 at 10:46

bah , i really wanted a conclusion to the series.

Holding shouting the odds about racism again, this time citing 'western arrogance' leading to England pulling out of the Pakistan tour.

I'm glad he can speak his mind freely in this arrogant and backward country, when Pakistan is so progressive and tolerant when it comes to arrogance and racism, but it's getting a bit whiny now.
