The “Great Umpire” spares the WIndies further humiliation.

The outfield at Headingley is waterlogged, and there will not be any cricket played there today.

Remembering the kerfuffle at the Sir Viv Richards (North Sound) Ground earlier on this year - I cannot but raise a wry smile at the hand that the E(W)CB have been dealt. The WIBC were rightly condemned for their incompetence concerning the state of that pitch and outfield, back in mid-February. No such tongue lashing for the E(W)CB over this washout at Headingley - yet.

Even though £600,000 has already been spent on a drainage system that, erm...

...doesn’t.

If I were the chairman at Headingley, I’d ask for my money back!

(and don’t blame the groundstaff, either!)
