Decent performance by England to draw the series 2-2. Well done Root and the team, faultless in the 5th test.
Real shame for everyone with tickets (for the first three days anyway).............
Series should be recorded as 2-1 IMO.
Once again, money talks. You'd imagine this has been done solely with the restart of the IPL in mind.
Lol…unfortunately ECB have just said India have not forfeited the test…result of series unclear
Question. Had England chased the runs down at the Oval and been 2-1 up in the series, would India be playing the test?
My feeling yes.
This match has been defaulted. Covid is the excuse. 2-2 in the series
I don't think they would. As above, I'm absolutely certain that the IPL would have been the priority for all involved.
Had tickets for the fourth day. Decided a couple of weeks ago not to go as taking two days off work wasn't practical and I'd have needed a "recovery" day. That's looking a pretty decent decision. Not sure advanced rail tickets are refundable.
