Antigua

There are two questions to answer. Firstly, having played a 5 day test match there a year ago, how has the Sir Viv Richards Stadium been allowed to deteriorate into nothing more than a beach since then?

Secondly, having had that year to prepare the ground for the second West Indies vs England test and failed dismally, what cause is there to believe that the authorities can now prepare a ramshackle football stadium for the re-scheduled match in just two days?

The way in which the whole thing has been handled is hugely disrepectful to the visitors; playing and spectating; and a gross insult to the name of one of the greatest batsman ever to play the game. All connected with the administration of West Indies cricket should be thoroughly ashamed of themselves.
