Second Test, Antigua:
England 7-0 v West Indies


Day one of the second Test between West Indies and England in Antigua was abandoned after 10 balls because of a dangerous outfield.

Diabolical. Not the first time an unfit pitch has been submitted out in the West Indies. The ICC ought to descend on them like a ton of bricks for this. You have to feel sorry for the Barmy Army who pay a lot of good money to give England full support wherever they go.
Hopefully the authorities in Antigua will go some way to making it up to them.

Good result for England.

Play it at the Stanford stadium.

I missed the first day of a test in Antigua once because I was waiting for the plane in Guadeloupe and because it was full it just didn't bother to stop.

As it should be, but should also remain forever.
