England Cricket 2022

Three days is enough for these two isn't it? Most of tomorrow would probably have been lost anyway.

Anderson and Broad need to buck their ideas up here. They both have below average records at the Oval and can't be relied on for wickets unless something changes. Which puts a lot on Robinson.

It's a shame they can't add a day on next week. Last match of the season and all. I know one test was over in basically two days, but three-day tests are rare even nowadays. Four is average.

They're contemplating adding a day

As a mark of respect to Her Majesty, there will be no play in the Test Match between England and South Africa Men on Friday 9 September.
A further announcement about the continuation of the Test match will be made in due course.
Ticket holders for tomorrow will be issued a full refund automatically.
Ticket holders for days 3, 4 and 5 will be contacted in due course once we can confirm more details.

This sounds like they‘re thinking of sacking off the rest of the test. Absolute cunts if they do.

The ECB and Surrey are not insured for the death of a monarch. Hopefully their greed will nudge them in the right direction.

That’s the angle!

It's raining anyway.. hope they add a new day

In fairness do we really want to lose a monarch and a test match in the same week?

Lose a monarch and win a test match, sounds like a good weekend.

Before each match, a minute’s silence will be observed followed by the national anthem. All players and coaches will wear black armbands. Branded inventory will be replaced with messaging paying cricket’s respects to The Queen.

Paying respect to the Queen by singing God Save the King

 

[Petcha]

Fuck can you imagine how patriotic it's gonna be tomorrow. The barmy army... fuck. How many times will that fucking trumpeter blast out god save our gracious king/queen/parasite whatever.

It's gonna be toe curling.

 

[littlebabyjesus]

Ok, the toss will stand as well, I presume. Follow-on will be 150.

I was thinking of going along on Tuesday, but you're right. I may need to avoid.

TMS is going to be unlistenable, isn't it?

 

[Petcha]

How much are tickets for tuesday then... or do they carry them over or something?

One out of two would be good enough

 

[littlebabyjesus]

300 pounds. It's what she would have wanted.

I'm guessing that Surrey may be under pressure to make it free.

Second thoughts, I'm not going to go.

 

[Petcha]

This is basically our 9/11. Freedom Fries n all that. I'm sure there'll be Elizabeth pints or something tomorrow. It's never gonna end. If the Diana thing is still going 25 years on, imagine how long this will last.

 

[Santino]

Neither the BBC nor the ECB website confirm if the match will go on until Tuesday.

 

[paulhackett]

Surrey will have other things booked in for Tuesday (I know.. small in comparison). Players have Pakistan tour coming up, SA may have commitments? Getting staff, police, Sky etc. in isn't simple.

 

[Santino]

Maybe both teams should declare on 0 and just have a one innings match.

 

[Santino]

ECB have now confirmed there will only be three days of play.

These things are all doable with the agreement of SA, I would think. Tour of Pakistan not a huge issue - Brook is the only one of this team going.

And just in, it's only three days - SA fly home on Tuesday.

I don’t react too well to gushing patriotism, I’ll have to find a pie to eat during the nonsense at the start of play or I may get lynched.

 

[Petcha]

Well. Three days. Let's see if Bazball can handle that.

Your ticket now looks a bargain. Incredible foresight.

On second thoughts. No it doesn't.

Anyway you London people, how much play do you estimate we lost to royalty today? Would it have been a full day? How's yer weather?

Would have been some play but with interruptions. They might have got lucky and had 60 overs, perhaps.

SA top order obviously still mourning.
